The Missing Golden Shamrock
It’s St. Patrick’s Day morning in a small Irish town. The annual parade is about to begin when disaster strikes: The Golden Shamrock Trophy — the pride of the town — has disappeared from the parade float.
The trophy is a large golden shamrock awarded every year to the most festive pub in town. Without it, the parade cannot start.
The trophy was last seen at 7:45 a.m. in the parade preparation tent.
Several people were nearby… and everyone claims they’re innocent.
You must interview one another to determine:
Who took the Golden Shamrock
Why they took it
Where it is now
Only by sharing information and comparing stories can the mystery be solved.
You must talk to at least 5 people and collect clues. You should take notes.
You may find out:
Who touched the Golden Shamrock last?
Who hid the trophy behind the barrels?
Who moved the trophy after that?
Why was the trophy moved?
Where is the trophy now?
Who is responsible for the confusion?
What actually happened between 7:45 and 8:05?
Should the parade still start?

Something about this doesn’t add up.
