Operational Policies

Report to office on October 1st to receive your Detective License.

Your Jurisdiction is only within the ungated limits of Blackstone. There are no clues inside the gated portions or outside of Blackstone. 

You must be a resident of Blackstone to be eligible for a detective license. 

DO NOT knock on any doors. Simply locate and scan the QR code near the sidewalk. The residents are not involved in the investigation and have no information, tips, or knowledge of the case. Treat all locations with respect — you’re here to follow leads, not stir up trouble.

To crack this case, you’ll need more than luck. Take notes, sketch what you see, and dig into the details.  Every clue you uncover will bring you one step closer to collecting the reward. Observe carefully and investigate thoroughly.

You must track down all the clues scattered throughout the community to unlock the final stage of the investigation — taking place at the Halloween Extravaganza on October 24th. Miss a clue, and you just might miss the truth.

Immediately report to your desk. That is where your investigation begins. DO NOT remove anything from the desk or any location you visit. Instead, take detailed notes, sketch diagrams, or jot down anything that looks suspicious. Your eyes and intuition are your best tool — not your hands.

Detectives will be granted exclusive early access to the Extravaganza at 4pm on October 24th for the final stage. 

As the owner of Valiant & Valiant Private Investigation Agency, I’m offering an exclusive bonus reward to the first detective who can correctly identify the suspect behind these thefts. But be warned — accusations without proof won’t cut it. You must bring evidence. Solid. Clear. Convincing. No guesswork. No hearsay. Only the truth earns the prize.

Let’s be clear, detectives — investigations aren’t easy.

Solving a crime takes brains, grit, and a sharp eye for the details.

This case is no cakewalk. You’ll need to think critically, follow your hunches, and stay three steps ahead of the game.

This is for adults as much as it is kids — it’s a challenge for sleuths of all ages. So gather your family, team up with friends, and work together like the seasoned agents I know you can be.

Take notes. Sketch scenes. Share theories. Trust your instincts. And above all else… have fun doing it!

The clues are out there — and so is the culprit.
Now get out there and earn your place in the case files of Valiant & Valiant!

— Mr. Valiant

ATTENTION: This year’s scavenger hunt will push you to your limits. It’s designed to challenge your critical thinking, problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and memory.

Clues are everywhere. You might even be holding one in your hand at some point without even realizing it.

Every detail we’ve provided has been carefully planned and placed with purpose.

This hunt is as much about the journey as it is the destination.

Good luck and have fun!
