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
From Cincinnati City Hall, a 2.4 km walk of around 90 minutes takes you past the Hamilton County Courthouse, the public library and Piatt Park to the William Henry Harrison Statue. Friends, couples and families with school-age children who enjoy a light-hearted whodunit, weighing a leprechaun, a pub owner and the mayor, will have fun. Anyone wanting a guide's history talk or an indoor option should look elsewhere.
