Young detectives invited to tackle latest mystery

A Weave of Deceit runs during spring break at museum

Can you solve the latest Mystery in the Museum: A Weave of Deceit? It's the spring of 1935. In your job as chief of the Delta Police you are being flooded by reports of local robberies. Today an irate fish boat owner has marched into your police station demanding an immediate investigation to the disappearance of his fish net. Now why would anyone want to steal a fish net, you are thinking! It's time to use your crime-solving skills to catch the netthief before another goes missing. Can you find out where the missing net has been stashed? Are any of the robberies connected? The Delta Museum is looking for young detectives to help solve the latest Mystery in the Museum. Clues can be discovered throughout the museum. As you move from clue to clue, the evidence you discover will bring you closer to solving what happened to the stolen goods. Please allow a minimum of one hour to collect all the evidence and solve the mystery.
