The most important case of your life awaits… do you dare to solve it?

Thatcher Mystery

Start

Introduction

You are facing a strange case: the village master thatcher has disappeared. No one saw them leave. No message was left behind. But in the days before they vanished, they were working on several roofs across the village, and something about their work didn't seem right.

Examine

The Irish Archive holds records of roofs, patterns, and ridge designs, but only one matches the number you found...

Activate the flashlight and move the light halo across the image… maybe you'll discover a hidden mark.

END

Save all evidence in your private file. The truth is too dangerous.

No one will know what happened...END

I worked at the Irish Archive.We track every roof, every repair, and every thatcher. That's when I found it... Certain houses weren't just being repaired; they were altered to hide something else... Stolen goods... hidden inside the thatch And the Records? They were being erased to protect people responsible. No accidents, no mistakes. When I tried to report it, I realized the people behind it had power in the village. If I spoke out, I would disappear too. I need more than just myself to bring the scandal to light. That's why I've been hiding in Blackridge Cottage, and that's why I chose you; I needed someone no one would suspect. The clues weren't just to find me; they were to see if you could uncover the truth.

Make a decision

Inside the folder there are only two things:A rusty key. And a paper with a number. There is no explanation. But in the Irish Archive there are coded boxes that store information...
