Theme: Medieval
On Monday past, King Jim and Queen Lucy were on a four day journey to visit the Kingdom Yonder. When they returned they found that the Royal Castle at Catamount had been plundered!!! They called in the Royal Wizards to investigate. The only problem was that all of them were out of the Kingdom at a Wand Convention.
Therefore, King Jim issued the following royal decree:
All visitors coming to Kingdom Catamount will be required to help solve the mystery of the plundered castle. There are many clues to be found during your journey throughout your stay. As you participate in the adventures you will uncover evidence to help you discover who the thief was and what they have stolen. Rewards of great value will be given to those who can unravel the puzzle.
Beware!! There is a potentiallly dangerous criminal out there who must be found. But make no mistake...before the day is through, justice will be served if you're up to the task!
The following chart will help you keep track of the evidence.
