About this quest
Sanford, 1915. The sun is high, and your vacation has just begun—until a knock on the door changes everything.
You are Detective Eugene Sprat, and a murderer has escaped. Bufford Womble slipped through the cracks just hours after being sentenced, and now he’s loose in town. The sheriff needs your help, and time is running out.
Step into the shoes of a turn-of-the-century detective as you walk Sanford’s historic streets, following clues, solving puzzles, and tracking a fugitive before he vanishes—or strikes again. This real-world mystery is perfect for friends and families seeking an adventure full of suspense, teamwork, and discovery. Can you crack the case before the trail goes cold?
