You’ve stumbled upon a cryptic letter from someone named Charlie Weathers, mentioning old papers, a near-miss with a firepit, and an intriguing entry on “the Shinn.” Paired with a map of the town of Undermere, it’s clear you’ve got a mystery on your hands. But where do you even begin?

Don’t worry, we’ll break it down. This guide will show you exactly how to decipher the clue and find your next location.
Step 1: Analyze Your Primary Clue
First, let’s look closely at the note from Charlie.
“We discovered some papers in a hidden desk drawer in the boat yard last night. Mr Jones almost threw them in the firepit, but I asked to take a look at them first. That man does like to burn things!
They look old. Maybe there’s nothing of much use here, but I thought of you when I came across an entry on the Shinn.
Charlie Weathers”
While the story about Mr. Jones and the firepit adds flavor, the most critical piece of information here is the location where the papers were found. Charlie explicitly states they were discovered in the boat yard.
This is your keyword. Your goal is to find this specific place.
Step 2: Cross-Reference with the Map
Now, turn your attention to the map of Undermere. On the right-hand side, you’ll see a “KEY” with a numbered list of all the important locations in town. This is your reference guide.
Scan down the list, looking for the keyword we identified in the letter. You’ll find it quickly:
8. The Boat Yard
Step 3: Pinpoint the Location
You now know that the place you need to investigate is marked with the number 8.
Look over the main map to find the corresponding number. You can find The Boat Yard (#8) on the eastern side of town, situated right by the water, just north of “Stockside Rock” (#9) and at the end of Cranbrook Road.
Conclusion
The puzzle is a straightforward case of using a direct reference from the letter to identify a location on the map.
- The letter from Charlie Weathers tells you the important papers were found at The Boat Yard.
- The map’s key confirms that The Boat Yard is location #8.
Your next step is to head to The Boat Yard on the map to find the “entry on the Shinn” that Charlie mentioned. Good luck with your search!
