Murder at Milestones: The Poisoned Pint & Broken Blade

The year is 1897. Gaslight flickers through the fog, the cobbled streets of Basingstoke echo with hushed voices and inside The Baverstock Arms, landlord James Baverstock has collapsed - his final pint laced with poison...

Six townsfolk stand accused, each with secrets of their own... 

  • The ambitious co-landlord with more than ale on his mind
  • The ironmonger's assistant, burdened by debt
  • The milliner whose bonnets conceal hidden truths
  • The sweet shop owner, with a sweet tooth and a rotten core
  • The stationmaster whose telegraphs carry more than a few secrets
  • The sawmill foreman with splinters of guilt...

Your task? To unmask the killer lurking amongst them! Armed only with your wits, you, Sherlock and your fellow detectives will interrogate suspects, follow shadowy trails and piece together the puzzle before the night is out.

Gather evidence, weigh out alibis and exchange whispers with other sleuths over a drink at the Baverstock Arms - before the final reveal exposes the culprit in your midst.


Step back into a world of intrigue, deception and danger. Will you untangle the mystery of the Poisoned Pint & Broken Blade, or let a murderer slip away into the fog?
