Vancouver - A terrible crime has been committed and the world's most
celebrated detective has requested your assistance to find out "whodunit".
Sherlock Holmes and the Clocktower Mystery opens Sunday, June 17th at the Vancouver Museum.  This interactive, wildly entertaining and very clever mystery will test your powers of observation and deductive reasoning.  The deerstalker is optional but you will need your thinking cap to solve this
baffling thriller.

Upon entering the exhibit, you find yourself transported back to Victorian
London and to the scene of this gruesome crime.  A body has been discovered in the Croydon Clocktower and it is up to you to follow Dr. Watson's story through eight chapters, collecting valuable clues along the way, but beware of those red herrings. Travelling from a caretaker's home to a séance room, from the London docks to a hidden opium den, the sights, sounds and smells of turn-of-the-century London greet you around every corner.  As you make your way through the exhibit, you must note down anything that might lead you to the real killer, but don't worry; there are "cheat guides" for those who may need them.   Before you leave the exhibit, you are invited into an elegant study, where a character from the story will join you. Here you will confer and discuss your theories, then all will be revealed.  (This is top-secret information and all visitors are asked to keep the mystery guest's identity a secret).
