Can you solve the Stolen Jewels of King’s Lynn mystery? Our free, family trail on the Discover King’s Lynn app is running throughout the summer holidays, ending on the 31 August, for detectives of all ages to take part in.
Inspired by the mystery of the lost Crown Jewels of King John’s treasure, the trail challenges participants to solve the case after the jewels have ‘mysteriously vanished’. Clues have been hidden in the windows of ten Town Centre businesses, and detectives of all ages must visit each location to gather evidence, eliminate suspects, and identify the thief.
Participants begin their mission at the new Library, 46 New Conduit Street, to collect a Suspect List. Then they must download the free Discover King’s Lynn app onto a smartphone device, create an account, and scroll down the homepage to select the Stolen Jewels of King’s Lynn tour. The digital tour on the app will guide participants to each location, where clues will be uncovered to rule out suspects and piece together the mystery. Once the case is solved, participants can return to the Library to claim a small prize!
Everyone who completes the trail can also enter a prize draw for the chance to win one of three Family Cinema Passes to the Alive Corn Exchange Cinema, each admitting two adults and two children and including popcorn.
To enter the prize draw, simply complete the trail, open the Discover King’s Lynn app, click more, then click surveys, and submit the name of the thief. Three winners will be selected at random by Discover King’s Lynn only. T&C’s apply.
The Discover King’s Lynn app is available to download for free on the App Store and Google Play. Simply search ‘Discover King’s Lynn’ in stores to get started and begin your summer detective adventure.
