The Showgirl Spy: Secrets of Wartime London
Step into the shoes of Lacey Biggins, a spirited showgirl, as you navigate the heart of London during the turbulent days of WWII.
For the past seven months, Lacey has been singing, dancing, and spreading cheer to the weary troops and citizens, doing everything she can to lift the spirits of those surrounded by the constant threat of bombs.
But when a mysterious espionage plot surfaces, Lacey finds herself caught in a web of intrigue that could determine the fate of London itself. Solve puzzles, follow clues through the iconic streets of the West End, and uncover the secrets that could change the course of history.
Will you be able to help Lacey navigate this perilous mission? Time is of the essence - walk, explore, and make history together!
