Can you crack the code? 

Use this digital form to write down your answers to the clues you find at each location in Newark. We've added the locations to the bottom of this page as a little guidance. Be sure to check the opening and closing times!

Each location has two truths and one lie in the clue. Can you collect them all to find out the real truths to discover the culprit, weapon and location of where Barry the Bookworm has been kept captive?

Use the form to fill out the clues you get at each location and then submit your final answer in the green boxes at the end. 

If you'd prefer, we've created a downloadable and printer friendly version for you and your detectives to scribble down the answers by hand. When you've completed the trail, either email a scan or photo of your completed clue sheet to hello@newarkbookfestival.org.uk, or transfer your answers to this digital form.

The game is afoot!

Good luck
