NEED A CLUE?

 

Are you stuck for an answer or need a little extra nudge in the right direction?

Detectives, you’ve come to the right place. Below you’ll find each piece of evidence, a helpful clue, and (just in case) the solution to get you back on your feet.

 

NATIONAL GALLERY PHOTO

CLUE

 

Look very closely at the banners in the photograph

SOLUTION

 

Somebody has circled a photograph of the National Gallery showing a special event on the 1st of April at 8am. This suggests that whatever was stolen from the National Gallery occurred on the 1st of April at 8am

 

DOCTORS NOTE

CLUE

 

Sebastian Lansky’s doctor has put him on a strict sleeping schedule.

SOLUTION

Sebastian Lansky is always asleep 11pm – 9am, therefore he could only make the strike at 3.31pm.

 

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS

CLUE

 

The thief selling the historical documents hasn’t treated them very well – they’ve left a mark.

SOLUTION

 

The watermarks where somebody has rested a glass spell “C.B.” or Clement Bernardi.

 

BLUEPRINTS

CLUE

 

There is only one viable entry into the Bank of England and only one person capable of using it.

SOLUTION

 

The ventilation shaft is an unguarded way into the Bank of England, but it has a max of 5ft – only Eleanor Fox is small enough to fit into this.

 

TOWER OF LONDON LEAFLET

CLUE

 

By using another piece of evidence, someone with a ‘signature’ of striking during a firework display may become clear.

SOLUTION

 

Pierre le Fantome is the person who strikes during firework displays, and there is one scheduled for the 22nd of April from 7pm – midnight. He must be about to strike at 11.55pm.

 

POSTCARD

CLUE

 

There are two clues to be found here. One is in the written text and one is on the front of the postcard.

SOLUTION

 

If you look closely on the front of the postcard, you can see creases over the letters T W O A M. The postcard is from Eleanor to her mother, explaining she is looking forward to visiting in April. Therefore Eleanor strikes at 2am but NOT in April.

 

CUT OUT NOTE

CLUE

 

When cut and re-assembled, a vital piece of evidence is revealed.

SOLUTION

 

The message reads: Blenheim Palace is unguarded after midnight but before 7am, therefore the thief must strike between these hours.

 

GASTON’S BUSINESS CARD

CLUE

 

Follow the handwritten instructions!

SOLUTION

 

When emailed, Gaston will reveal that Pierre le Fantome has a case history of stealing sapphires and striking during firework displays.

 

CASH SALE RECEIPT

CLUE

 

The name of the painting gives a clue to why the name is so peculiar.

SOLUTION

 

Oona Reflex is an anagram of Eleanor Fox, and she has signed for the sale of a painting.

 

TELEGRAM

CLUE

 

We recommend checking Google for an online Morse Code translator to figure this out!

SOLUTION

 

The code reveals SIX JUNE TWO AM – so whatever happens on the 6th of June happens at 2am.

 

CODE BREAKER DISCS

CLUE

 

To solve this, you will need to try the initials of each of the thieves you have remaining. For example, if there were a thief named John Smith, the initials to check would be J = S.

SOLUTION

 

When using the initials KH (Kathe Heinrich), the message reveals: Thanks for the tiara on the fourteenth, Kathe. Signed Buyer

 

WITNESS STATEMENT

CLUE

 

The time of day and the location is important here.

SOLUTION

 

Someone targeted the Natural History Museum at 3.31pm and was carrying something large.

 

TRAIN TICKETS

CLUE

 

It is an unusual date and time for Sebastian Lansky to be travelling, unless he was in a hurry.

SOLUTION

 

Sebastian did his crime on the 8th of May and fled London with a large piece of luggage (therefore, could not be carrying anything small like the sapphires).
