Sunday Afternoon
Clockwork Conundrum Sunday the 12th - 1pm to 4pm
Step into the world of "The Clockwork Conundrum," an extravagant soirée where guests are transported to a steampunk wonderland of gears, gadgets, and mysteries waiting to be unraveled. As your Cogs & Clockwork weekend comes to a close, gather your gear, pack your provisions, and sharpen your wits. Each guest arrives adorned in their finest steampunk attire, ready to embark on an adventure of deduction and discovery.
The morning commences with a dramatic flourish as your enigmatic host, Professor Glurbendurb, in his top hat and tails, unveils the rules of engagement: Each intrepid explorer will compete to solve a series of enigmatic riddles hidden within extraordinary stores scattered throughout the recently transformed downtown Fergus. The first person to decipher the final clue and unlock the secret of the Clockwork Conundrum will claim the prestigious title of Master Sleuth and the golden trophy prized by all or at least a few. The next successful sleuth will receive the silvered trophy while the third will earn the bronzed trophy.
Clues will only be given to you when you have given the secret code to the correct shop keeper, demonstrating that you have solved the previous clue. Otherwise a location will appear to be just any other shop and the shop keepers will treat you like any other customers.
Participants begin by going to Studio Boutique to get their Slueth pin, their Cogs and Clockwork treasure pouch and their first clue. Then they head to the Provost Pavilion to get instructions from Professor Glurbendurb.
You must navigate the maze of riddles and wordplay to uncover hidden messages which will lead you through various locations in downtown Fergus until all clues have been solved, gather Lego minifigure pieces. Each minifigure will have the Cogs & Clockwork Logo and either the John Sprocket Logo or the the Professor Elemental Logo.
This event begins at 1pm and ends at 4pm when the winners will be announced within The Light Circus area. Any guests who have not completed the adventure will be given the location so they can gather their treasures.
