A digital quest for families to enjoy at home
On display at Preston Park Museum is a curious and elegant green glass bottle.
Found in the dome of Stockton Town Hall during repair work in the 1840s, it is believed to have been placed in the hall during construction. Folklore would have it that the bottle has magical powers which project the borough of Stockton.
This ornate bottle has been protecting the borough for centuries, until now…
Staff at the museum were doing their usual checks before opening up one morning to find that the bottle had disappeared from its case. And ever since its disappearance, mysterious things have been happening.
We need your help to return the bottle before midnight on Halloween. Take part in a series of online challenges to help us find the retrieval spell and solve the curious case of the magical bottle.
How to take part in The Curious Case of the Magical Bottle:
