The year is 1882 and thanks to Sir Robert Peel and his new ‘Police Force’ the streets of Victorian London have never been safer. But on Christmas Eve, a scream echoes around the cobbled streets. A dead body has been found in a crumbling tenement building, belonging to none other than the landlord himself - old Augustus Stinch. The ‘Bobbies’ were summoned immediately and the doors locked; nobody came in and nobody went out. The murderer is still there. As eager young Bobbies you and your team are keen to bring a murderer to justice - and get home in time to hang your stocking.
Best of luck Bobbies, your Christmas depends on it!
