Tintin: Mystery at the Domain Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

SoaringEagle: Unfortunately, it is time to archive this one. I walked through it yesterday. A lot of the stores have changed and the final location is not what it used to be originally. Clearly people have been living there. Not a great experience anymore. Since I live away now, it would be hard for me to change and restore the experience. Time to say good by to what used to be the very first Wherigo in Austin.

Geocache Description:


Any kid raised in Europe has read some of Tintin's adventures. Tintin finally made it to US thanks to Steven Spielberg

Tintin is a young investigative reporter for the Belgian newspaper "Le petit Vingtieme". He is always accompanied by Snowy his dog, a white Wire Fox Terrier. They are the heroes of comic books written and illustrated by Belgian author "Hergé" (George Rémi).

Tintin and Snowy travel the world solving mysteries and fighting the bad guys.

In this adventure, Tintin and Snowy are in Austin to solve the mystery of a disappearing pearl necklace.

In the cartridge, you will assume the identity of Tintin. You need to proceed to the posted coordinates and talk to Thomson & Thompson, two very clumsy detectives from Scotland Yard that are helping the Austin police with the jewlery theft.

You will need to pay close attention to what the different characters are saying and use your thinking cap to confront and arrest the thief!

Enjoy the adventure!

Don't forget to download the cartridge.
