Geocache Description:


This is a bonus cache following on from the “Thornton Hough Murder Mystery” Labcaches.

Thornton Hough Murder Mystery

The peace and tranquillity of Thornton Hough has recently been rocked by the murder of all four members of the Black family in their home, Thornton Hough Mansion.

First, the body of highly respected Dr Black was found, followed by his wife, Mrs Black. A little later, their two children Master Black and Miss Blacks bodies were discovered in the Mansion.

Investigations have indicated that there were no signs of a forced entry, and therefore the crime had been committed by one or more guests at the Mansion. Early on in the investigations it was established that each murder had been committed in a different room, by a different person, each using a different weapon.

Suspects :
Rev Green (8), Colonel Mustard (14), Mrs Peacock (10), Professor Plum (13), Miss Scarlet (11) & Mrs White (8).
Weapons :
Candlestick (11), Lead Piping (10), Poison (6), Revolver (8), Rope (4) & Spanner (7).
Rooms :
Ballroom (8), Billiard Room (12), Conservatory (12), Dining Room (10), Hall (4), Kitchen (7), Library (7), Lounge (6) & Study (5).

As you visit each of the five locations in the Adventure Labcache you will gain information about the murders. You then need to work out who committed each murder, with which weapon and in which room.

Victim Murderer Room Weapon
Dr Black A B C
Mrs Black D E F
Master Black G H J
Miss Black K L M

Use the number of letters in each Murderers name, Room & Weapon (given in brackets in the lists above) to determine the values of A through M.

This bonus cache can then be found at : N 53 19 . (H-E) (J-C) (M-K) W 003 02 . (A-B) (L-D) (G-F)
