This is the bonus cache of the Art Heist Mystery Adventure Lab. The posted coordinates are not the actual location of the cache – solve the mystery to find the correct coordinates.
The most valuable painting at City Art Museum has been stolen! As senior investigator at the Heist Busters Detective Agency, you’ve been hired to discover who stole the painting, what costume they were wearing, and what tool they used.
You’ve narrowed it down to six suspects, but they all have alibis. Can you figure out who is lying? Was Ricco the Rat really rock climbing in Maple Canyon? Was Johnny Elbows auditioning for the role of a thief in a play? Was Five Spot Charlie lecturing at Villain’s Con? Was Fingers Frischetti performing at a piano recital? Was Jumpin’ Jimmie building a Habitat for Humanity house? And was Little Antony really at a costume party? You also need to find out what disguise the thief was wearing: a wig, trench coat, bandana, bowler hat, Groucho glasses, or sunglasses. Did he use a hack saw, crow bar, laser pointer, rope, boomerang, or spork?
To solve the mystery, you will need to meet up with five witnesses. These art lovers have arranged to meet you at their favorite Tri-Cities artwork. Each one can vouch for a suspect and identify the costume and tool he had. Complete the Art Heist Mystery Adventure Lab to access all five witness interviews. Once you have identified the thief, costume, and tool, use the information below to find the final cache location and find out how the thief pulled off the heist.
