Visitors have been stepping back in time to the Victorian era where Cabinet Minister Sir Robert Fleet has been murdered. The local constabulary needs help from junior detectives to solve the crime.
Budding investigators have been picking up a crime file on arrival, examining the crime scene and gathering some evidence to start their quest, meeting costumed characters stationed around the Fort - Dr William Wallington, Cook Nancy Nelson, Officer Sidney Southwick, Patrick Purbrook and Constable Walter Widley.
Visitors have been listening to the suspects’ statements and use the evidence to crack the case.
