There's foul play on the Herts-Beds border and you have been called in to investigate the suspected murder of Dr Black, owner of Tudor Mansion. It's only suspected because we cannot find the body! Dr Black invited six guests for the weekend and some time very early on Sunday morning the host disappeared. His guests all fled the house; each with a guilty conscience ... but only one was responsible for Dr Black's disappearance.
You are Inspector Cluedo and your challenge is to solve the crime and find the body. Each of the suspects has hidden their potentially incriminating evidence in a cache on familiar ground where they feel safe. Visit each cache and inspect the evidence you find. There will be three cards in each to enable you to eliminate suspects, weapons or locations from your enquiries. When you have the solution visit Inspector Cluedo: Dr Black for the final stage instructions. Good Luck, Inspector, because each cache will test a different detection skill.

Pirton is referenced in the Domesday Book as Peritone (pear-tree homestead) and its history can be traced in the 54 listed buildings scattered around the village. There are two pubs to choose from for lunch. |

Mrs Peacock can trace her family tree back to the Norman Conquest - a French knight by the name of Ralph de Limesy, who was awarded the Manor of Pirton, where he lived until the end of the 12th century. Mrs Peacock grew up in the village and has been a pillar of the community all of her life, frequently boasting of her ancestral lineage. She first encountered Dr Black at a charity gala several years ago and their passing acquaintanceship grew into friendship as they attended the same functions.
The coordinates at the top of the page are for Pirton Court, Mrs Peacock's childhood home, but we know the evidence is not here. Do not try to enter this private property. The cache is believed to be close by, though, because Mrs Peacock knows this part of the village like the back of her hand. However an anonymous tip has been received in the form of a video. It is believed that this gives the exact location of Mrs Peacock's evidence. You can view the video here.
The cache is a plastic 0.33L lock & lock box holding a personal item belonging to Mrs Peacock, three cards to advance your enquiries and an access code on the lid to use the Inspector Cluedo Suggestion Site. Please leave all evidence in the cache for the next detective and hide the cache exactly as you found it.
