Basingstoke Time Mystery Adventure

The Time Mystery Adventure: Case Notes...

Born in 1866, Clara Halfacre is the daughter of Samuel Halfacre, a respected coach maker from Basingstoke. Growing up among travellers, merchants and performers passing through the town, Clara developed a fascination with storytelling and the theatre. At the age of sixteen she left Basingstoke to pursue an acting career in London.

In 1890, Clara returns to her hometown to perform at the Corn Exchange (now called The Haymarket Theatre) in a production of The Lady of the Lantern.

What should have been a simple visit home soon becomes something far more mysterious. After one of her performances, Clara decides to take an evening stroll through the streets of Basingstoke. As she passes the ruins of the Holy Ghost Chapel, a man steps quietly from the shadows.

It is Elias Soper, the clockmaker of London Street. Without explanation, he presses a folded note into Clara’s hand before disappearing into the darkness.

Inside the note is a strange message about time, the rhythm of the town, and clues hidden across Basingstoke. Clara soon realises that if she is to understand what Elias has discovered, she must retrace the path she walked that night.

On the night Clara received Elias’s mysterious note, she had taken a walk through Basingstoke. Your task, detectives, is to retrace Clara’s steps, solve the clues she might have noticed along the way, and record your answers in the Evidence Log. A final answer will be revealed at the end.
