About this quest
🍀 The Case of the Lost Luck: An Outdoor Detective Mystery Game 🍀
Fortune has faltered with the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Shamrock. As luck spirals into chaos—clocks stop, signs fall, and the bakery's ovens cool—you are summoned to unravel this enigma.
Was it the reticent leprechaun, Rusty, with his mischievous past? Finn McGuire, the desperate pub owner last seen with the shamrock? Or perhaps the mayor himself, whose ambitions might be fueled by the town's misfortune?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting at Valley Youth Theatre, this 2.6 km walk takes you past the Herberger Theater Center, Crescent Ballroom and A.E. England Building as you work out who took the Golden Shamrock. Friends, couples and families who enjoy a light detective puzzle get around 90 minutes outdoors. Skip it if you want a live guide to question, or would rather stay indoors than solve clues on the street.
