Geocache Description:

One of a series of 10 caches based on the Clue board game. This one is in Schrier Park. Portage parks are open from 8AM to sunset.

It began like any other day. Get up, get ready, go to work... .... and then the phone rang.

"Detective?" the voice at the other end of the line inquired, "Hello? Detective, I uh... ummm." (The voice quiets to a whisper.) "They had a meeting last night. There were six of them. It was suspicious from the very beginning. They argued and things got out of hand." the voice on the other end of the phone trembled and then continued... "Detective, I think he's dead." You tried to answer but they couldn't hear you.

"I'm not a detective," you said into the phone but there was no response. "I'm just a geocacher. I think you have the wrong number," you said but they didn't answer. You heard a click and then the dial tone. You're not sure if this is a joke or what. You decided to ignore it and go about the normal day's business.

The phone rang again about an hour later. It's the same person. "I think my battery is almost dead so I have to be quick. I heard the killer in the other room mumbling followed by a sinister laugh. They were saying something about a code that'll never be cracked and that they have covered up all the evidence. I went into the room after they left and there was a note. I'll send it to you. Detective, you need to catch this person." The line went dead. You think the person's a nut case and blow them off.

Two days later a package arrives in the mail with a familiar looking worksheet which has scrawled underneath it "Detective, you'll need this" Click here to download and print file.

A letter is also in the packet but it's all weird looking. After further research you're certain it's a Vigenere cipher which can be decoded by using the decoder given in the final cache page, if you could only figure out the key passphrase.

Cache Specific Information: This is 1 of 10 "Who, Where, How?" caches. There are 9 series caches that contain clues to help you find the 10th, final cache. Feel free to treat this as a standalone, traditional cache or find all nine and solve the puzzle to locate the final.

Following is a list of all the caches in the series:

Who, Where, How? I
Who,Where, How? II
Who, Where, How? III
Who, Where, How? IV
Who, Where, How? V
Who, Where, How? VI
Who, Where, How? VII
Who, Where, How? VIII
Who, Where, How? IX
Who, Where, How? X - FINAL

There are two things necessary to log the final cache. One is to solve the vigenere cipher to find the final coords. In each of the nine regular caches there is a letter clue. When you have all nine letters, unscramble them to make a word that has something to do with the game. This is your passphrase. The second is to identify the correct suspect, room, and weapon by using the clue cards in each regular cache. Then e-mail those results to me. DO NOT PUT THEM INTO YOUR LOG ENTRY. When you have completed those requirements, you can claim the final cache.
