Storyline

You are Elle Silver. Your father, cartographer and cryptologist at the British Museum has gone missing, accused of theft from the museum. You have solved a series of clues left by your dad around Richmond Park which have brought you to this location: The British Museum at 4pm on a Tuesday afternoon. 

In his clues he left a reference to John Houblon, 17th century governor of the Bank of England and member of the Guild of Merchant Explorers. 

This wealthy society had access to vast funds and an expertise in exploration for priceless artefacts from around the world. 

No doubt your dad has uncovered some new information about John Houblon, and an adventure awaits...

Most challenging Questo we’ve done. Good variety of interesting puzzles, although we didn’t get them all. It was great to explore this area of London.

Some clues not accessible and a couple of clues were tricky to figure out given the information supplied.
