Death, Murder & Mayhem Wherigo Cache

This is the story, told through 10 gravesites, of the infamous John Looney, who ran prostitution, gambling, guns, stolen cars and illegal liquor in Rock Island, IL for most of the first quarter of the 20th Century.

This Wherigo Cartridge will take you on a tour through Chippiannock Cemetery and is very text-heavy. It also assumes you have prior knowledge of who John Looney was. If you want to know more about him, play through our Citadel of Sin Wherigo.
Information for the cartridge was taken from the pamphlet of the same name available in the cemetery office. You may only enter the cemetery during daylight hours. Be respectful of the grounds and come back another day if a burial is in progress.

After speaking with Chippiannock's superintendant, he was not able to grant permission for any caches to be placed on the grounds. You will need to drive to the final after playing.

What is Wherigo?

For those of you who don't know, Wherigo was created as a means to reintroduce the adventure game genre by making it easy for anyone to create and play location-based adventures in the real world. Using Wherigo, the physical world becomes the background for engaging story lines and location-specific virtual entertainment.

Wherigo is a platform that allows you to build location based GPS experiences on your computer and play them in the real world. Rather than searching for puzzle clues on a screen, you look for them in the field. Using Wherigo, you can create interactive tours, adventure games and puzzles... the possibilities are endless.
