About this Event

Cincinnati's fortune has faltered with the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Shamrock, the city's lucky charm, during the Annual Founders’ Day festival. The city has fallen into chaos: the clocks stopped, the signs fell, the bakery’s bread won’t rise, and the town’s prized fountain (which flows green every spring) has dried up.

Legend says that when the shamrock is stolen, its power fractures into seven pieces of luck – each hidden in a different part of town, guarded by tricky puzzles, mischievous riddles, and enchanted objects. The only way to restore the balance in the city is to recover all seven pieces before sunset, reassemble the shamrock, and find out who took it… and why!
