Someone had invited Smokey the Bear to a big birthday party at Dex's house. The party was going strong, when all of a sudden Dex's maid came running in screaming, "THERE IS A DEAD BEAR IN THE HOUSE!". Where is Smokey the Bear? Oh, no!!!!
Your job is to figure out who killed Smokey, where it happened and with what weapon. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NIGHT CACHING.
WHO WILL BE THE FIRST TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY? WHO WILL BE THE FASTEST TO SOLVE IT?

I will leave a log book at stage one. You can sign it with the date & time. When you find the final, sign with date and time and record the length of time to solve the mystery of this muti cache. At stage 1 (listed in the position above) you will find Log book, Pens and Sheets listing all Suspects, Weapons, Rooms. Take one sheet, you will need it to check off the items that you will find on your adventure to find who, how & where.

There are 18 small containers hidden near the Bruce Trail and Side Trail. Each container will contain a 'Clue' card. When you find a 'clue' card, Mark it on your sheet. There are a total of 21 items on your sheet but only 18 cards hidden.The 3 cards not hidden which are the who,what & where are what you need to find the FINAL cache.. There will be only log books for Start & Final caches.

“ Dex's Get a Clue” is played much like the popular board game CLUE®. You must solve a Whodunit by using the process of elimination to determine a character, a weapon, and a room in which a crime was committed.

There are clues scattered around the Bruce Trail Area (Waterdown Mill Street to Kern's Road) that you must track down. When you find the name of a character, weapon or room in one of the 18 undercover caches, you will have discovered a proven alibi for that possible lead. There are no alibis for the guilty! Once you have concluded your investigation and are ready to expose the evil-doer, their weapon of choice, and the room where the unspeakable deed was committed, you will be able to cross reference that information to get the coordinates of the final cache (aka- the Accusation). This will only be revealed by the most determined and masterful of all detective wannabees.

Suspects: Col. Mustard, Ms Scarlet, Prof. Plum, Mr. Green, Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock.Weapons: Knife, Lead Pipe, Revolver, Wrench, Candlestick, Rope.Rooms: Hall, Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, Ball Room, Conservatory, Billiard Room, Library, Study.
