Rich Spangle's celebrity party was ruined when someone stole one of his most treasured possessions. Can your pupils use their geography and map reading skills to help track down the culprit?

Uses real photos, in what could be seen as an early Google Street view. Images are real scenes around Wiltshire, where Sherston are from, with location names changed. Comes with paper maps.

Follows 'The Map Detectives' from 1997 which is a simpler version of the same story; this re-uses some of the assets.

Partner to the game 'The Map Detectives Urban Mystery', which used London Underground navigation in place of cycling and footpaths.

Dual platform disc for PC and Mac.
