Two baffled detectives at the Outspotter Detective Agency examine a bottle of Granville Island maple syrup.

Ottalee and Ambrose Holmes, twin descendants of Sherlock himself, have been called in to crack the case. But they need your help.

Follow a trail of clues across this beloved Island of characters and curiosities, from its bustling waterfront to its dramatic art and secret corners.

Can you unmask the culpritbefore they slip awayfor good?

    Every choice alters your route through the story, so weigh what you’ve learned before making your move. You’ll decide how your caper ends.

HOW IT WORKS ON WHATSAPP

Demo WhatsApp chat, with no spoilers for the real game. Ottalee Holmes says her twin brother Ambrose has gone quiet while tracking the stolen maple syrup. Outspotter HQ sends a rhyming clue leading to a red caboose, offers a hint after a wrong answer, and shares the caboose’s history once it’s solved. Ottalee then receives an anonymous CCTV still of hooded figures unloading drums of maple syrup at night, and passes it to Ruby Lovelace, an AI supercomputer. Ruby traces it to a burner phone, +1 (604) XXX-XXXX, which made one call yesterday: to Ambrose Holmes.
