The Alex Coates Affair

Arriving outside the Polish Embassy on a brisk October morning our questers huddled around our impeccably dressed host, one Dr Watson of Conan-Doyle fame, to receive the first titbits of the day. All were decked out in differing detective/spy costumes, from an elegant Miss Marple to an outlandish Austin Powers, and judging by the effort that everyone had put in it was clear that this was to be an memorable day.

Dr Watson rambled on in his over-elaborate way, and after a slightly indulgent 10 minutes it became clear that the teams were required to track down the whereabouts of Pavel Novak, a Polish immigrant swept in by the tide of an ever expanding EU, who, it appeared, was embezzling money from Currency UK and thus implicating our dear friend Alex Coates who’s job was now under threat.

With information in hand our teams scampered off to solve the first riddle and were soon embroidled in a devilish adventure involving people trafficking, secret agents, and outlandish sums of money. Their quest took them to the top of the Tate Modern, where they were met by a shady character who exchanged some priceless revelations with them. Also to the heart of residential Barbican, to a government safe house where a benevolent agent (who’s name must of course be kept secret) refuelled our questers with some galvanising squash and biscuits and revealed the next part of the jigsaw.

The hours ticked by and the truth drew closer and yet remained elusive. Our teams took to the waters of the Serpentine in Hyde Park using rowing boats, to find yet another clue attached to the mooring posts of a solitary island in the middle of the famous lake. The finale was now so close one could almost smell it as our weary but excitable questers rushed to a pub on the south bank of Westminster Bridge. There they were met by the still unflappable Watson, who took each team aside and divulged the true significance of the days events.
