The Case of the Missing Sherlock Holmes

We are pleased to report that the investigation has resumed.

Sherlock Holmes has returned to Aunt Matilda’s, bringing with him a collection of mysteries, curious objects, questionable suspects, and enough literary intrigue to keep a proper detective occupied for quite some time.

It seems the case was never quite closed.

Come have a look through the evidence. You may even discover something you weren’t looking for.

While rearranging the attic today, we discovered that Aunt Matilda owned far more top hats than any reasonable person should.

They've taken over the fainting sofa for the time being.

If you're in historic St. Augustine this weekend, stop by and see what else she's been hiding.

Aunt Matilda never cared much for the main road.
She preferred hidden passages, secret gardens, and places that rewarded the curious.
If you find yourself wandering St. George Street this week, keep an eye out for the Hidden Corridor.
Follow it to the end and you may discover steampunk treasures, peculiar gifts, literary oddities, and a few surprises Aunt Matilda left behind.
Some adventures begin with simply opening the right gate.
