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
This 2.1 km loop starts and ends at the Virginia Legends Park entry on Pacific Ave, passing the Boardwalk Birds Sculpture, the John Wareing Statue and the fishing pier in around 90 minutes. Friends, couples and mixed-age families who like a playful mystery about a missing shamrock will enjoy weighing up the suspects. Anyone wanting a live guide, or time inside the wildfowl museum, should look elsewhere.
