Hello, and thank you for purchasing "Break In: The Diamond Heist". A few rules here to help you with your game.

1: DO NOT close the page that contains the game. This will log you out completely and you will be taken back to the start. You can move through the quest by pressing next and previous however do not close the page it is on. You can swap tabs and switch pages with no problems. 

2: You will have to solve a series of clues and puzzles to work through the game. Please note; there are hints you can ask for to give you a nudge what to do however if you are well and truly stuck the downloadable answer sheet with the correct answers was emailed to you on purchase. (Only look if you are in desperate need - no peeking). The answers may be drop down answers, multiple choice or require you to write in a word/letters or numbers. Just make sure to always check the spelling and make sure there are no spaces at the end of a word or phrase.

3. You can go forward and backwards in between pages so you can check on orientation and where you have been.

4. If you click on an image to open it, it will open in a new tab. When you are completed with it and want to shut it down just make sure you do not close the original page. You could also just zoom in on the picture instead of opening it. 

5. The first part of your game will take you around Lancaster; and help can be found with the hint buttons and answer sheet. You will eventually get to a destination and once there the game will be managed by staff and hints will be provided by means of a walkie talkie. 

6: You have 90 minutes to complete your mission; and ideally you should be at the vault with 45 mins remaining: so bear that in mind time wise. 

7. Lastly; have fun and good luck. Your start point will be Lancaster Castle main entrance, Castle Grove, Lancaster LA1 1YJ. We recommend getting to your start point 10 minutes before your game begins to read the next page and prepare yourselves. You will receive the code at your allotted start time so please ensure you provided your phone number when booking.

TYPE YES TO CONTINUE

You lay in wait. Silently. Taking your time and holding back for the opportune moment.

You know The Handler will be leaving the Castle soon; and with it the all important phone. 

Once a month, The Handler is provided with a code to allow that person access to the safe for just 90 minutes should he need to check on the diamond or any other of the artefacts the dealer has collected. Once the time is up; the vault goes on lockdown; and all hope of getting in and out are gone. The diamond is also moved to several different locations throughout the year, however you have it on good authority that it currently resides within Lancaster. 

Your plan; kidnap The Handler as he leaves the Castle and take his phone. Answer the phone at the given time; and follow the instructions to gain access to The Vault. 

You know the owner of the diamond has put many precautions in place to allow easy access to it; The Handler is well trained in problem solving and usually has no issues working his way through the puzzles; so you will have to use all your brainpower to escape with the prize.

There he is, you spot him; and quickly grasp him, knock him out using chloroform and bundle him into the boot of your car. No need for harming him; but he won't be waking up for at least 3 hours now. 

You search his body and locate his phone. The time is getting nearer. Your game has nearly begun. 

(Once your phone rings you will be given a code to begin your game: this will also start your time. You will have 90 minutes to complete your mission. Good luck team. If you have any issues whatsoever either consult the answer booklet provided on purchase or ring 01524 382 029 to discuss with an agent.) 

Type the code to begin. 

Hello Handler. 

The diamond should be safely locked away; however if you wish to check on it you know what awaits. You will have to solve these puzzles to find the access code to The Vault. 

You should now be outside the main entrance to the Castle; so this first one should give you no problem. You will need to search the area to work out the surname of a certain James: which can be found on a white stone in the area. 

(type in answer below to progress)

The phone buzzes and an image is sent through to it with the text reading:

'Can you solve the puzzle to get the first number of the access code?'

7: that must be the first number. Keep it safe for now as you will need it later as well. 

"Ping" another message pops through. You know you will need to get four numbers to gain the access code to The Vault; and you think you now have one. 

"Facing out from the main entrance of the castle; turn right, heading clockwise around the castle grounds. Stay on the level path and keep walking around until you find a water fountain with a Lions head on it; near the rear entrance to the Castle. Once there, text the date the fountain was erected". 

You search around the castle; keeping your eyes peeled for the green fountain. Can you find it? And type in the date below. (Watch out for pesky cars parking in the way)

A text immediately responds with the next puzzle to complete:

"If 10 plus 4 equals two, what does 6 take away 9 equal?"


Can you work it out?

Nine: your second number. It has to mean that. 

The phone buzzes again, you quickly open it and read out loud. 

"To continue forwards, you have to travel backwards; to the year 1908. Can you work out what that means?"

To progress forward; return to the front of the Castle retracing the steps you have just taken. Follow the path down the slope to the White Stone of  your first clue, and then find the street named Castle Hill that appears in front of you. 

Head down the sloped road of Castle Hill, passing Judges Lodgings on your left to reach the main road, turning right onto China Street aiming towards China Street Halls (walking against traffic).

You know you have seen the date somewhere. But where? Keep your eyes peeled on your right for the answer to the message above. Can you find four letters (all capitals) to help you succeed?

You send the message YMCA, and get an immediate picture response. However, you feel elements of the picture are missing. You are pretty sure that the rest of the puzzle will be seen at The Vault, and when worked out it will give you your third number of the 4 digit combination. Continue on for now but keep this in mind. Type YES to continue onwards.

Not sure about that one, but just one more to go. 

The next message comes through; find the number next to "Lord Linoleum" on the raised platform. 

But where to go? Continue up China Street, passing Atkinson's on your right hand side. 

When you reach the crossing, safely cross over the road to your left and continue onto Market  Street. The task now is down to you; can you workout the code; and search the square in front of the Museum to find the answer?

7, 9, ?, 2; lets hope that is the correct code so far. 

You have what you think will gain you access when you solve one more puzzle down at The Vault. Now to find it. Make your way to Lancaster Escape to find the safe and break in.
