About this quest
🍀 The Case of the Lost Luck: An Outdoor Detective Mystery Game 🍀
Fortune has faltered with the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Shamrock. As luck spirals into chaos—clocks stop, signs fall, and the bakery's ovens cool—you are summoned to unravel this enigma.
Was it the reticent leprechaun, Rusty, with his mischievous past? Finn McGuire, the desperate pub owner last seen with the shamrock? Or perhaps the mayor himself, whose ambitions might be fueled by the town's misfortune?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting at 1 North Square, this detective game covers 1.9 km of the North End, passing the Old North Church, Caffe Vittoria and Rachel Revere Square while you work out who took a golden shamrock. Friends wanting a playful outing, or a couple with an afternoon free, get around 90 minutes of clues. Anyone after a guided history tour of the church should choose something else.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the Boston shamrock treasure hunt start and finish?
The game starts at 1 North Square in Boston. From there the app leads you through 11 stops, including Old North Church, Clough House at Old North and Caffe Vittoria, and the last stop on the route is Rachel Revere Square.
How long does it take and how far do you walk?

Is this a murder mystery game?

The whole game is played outdoors, walking between stops on the streets around North Square. Dress for the weather. If rain sets in, you can pause the game, shelter in one of the cafes or restaurants on the route and continue later.
