Page twoAfter years of tracing this promoter you have been led here. To the Town hall. As you were following him you see him quickly dash off, leaving behind his bag on the floor, alongside a crumpled-up piece of paper. His bag has a lock attached to it, but you think the paper must be a clue to help.
To open your first clue you will have to find four numbers that you can see as you look out from the Town Hall? Can you spot them written on a wall to get your started.
HintFacing directly in front of the town hall, a year with four numbers can be found on a wall, on the corner of Brazennose St

Manchester Evening News readers chose the Town Hall as their favourite building in Greater Manchester in 2012. Around 1,000 voters awarded the Town Hall an average rating of 9/10.
Plans to demolish the Town Hall were floated in the 1940s, as planners felt that the 'sooty' building was no longer 'fit for purpose'. They proposed replacing it with a new Town Hall in the Art Deco style. Fortunately, the idea was eventually scrapped.

Follow the path anti-clockwise (to the right as you look at the Town Hall) until your reach Mount Street on your right-hand side. Continue onto Mount Street and follow the circular building on your left until you find a Statue on the corner.
You see the producer gazing at the statue and etching a date into it…..Can you find the number he has just written?
HintThe statue is created by John Cassidy
Page fiveYes, 1907, that surely has to mean something? Keep it safe for now and remember it for later.
You see him dash round the library, so follow him round to the left and around to the main Entrance. You are looking at the pictures you found in the briefcase, but they do not match up somehow? Can you put the images in a “New Order” to make them right?
HintMatch up the images on the library with the picture. When put in the order of left to right you will find the correct order.

Page tenYou tracked his movements, so you now know which room he is being kept in. Pretending to be his solicitor you follow the corridor to his room. Testing your luck, you open the door however he has been moved on. You do however find a set of keys on the floor…. Had he left them behind? There is also a scribbled note on the desk. Opera. You immediately know where to go.
You head back the way you came to Peter Street and turn right onto it. Heading down Peter Street you pass the Great Northern Railway Warehouse on your left. You continue and cross Deansgate, following the road straight onto Quay Street. Keep walking until you find the Manchester Opera house on your right.
However something appears different? What is it?

HintCan you spot the writing that is not on the picture you have?

Page twelveYou see the man again there. He stops, turns around and stares at you, you can see he does not yet trust you. “If you really have been sent, then you will easily know this question. In which order did these bands play at the Haçienda?” You rack your brains, trying to recall the memories from your head, can you place them correctly? (use the letters before then to denote the order e.g ABCD or DCBA
A - ERASURE
B - GRANDMASTER FLASH
C - THE SMITHS
D - TAKE THAT
HintGrandmaster Flash played first and Gary Barlow’s lot were last
Page thirteen“Well done, you certainly know your stuff, I didn’t think you would get that one. Ok then, so you aren’t a fools gold. I’ll give you the address…well part of it. You will have to find the first street of Manchester, and turn away from it….good luck” And with that he quickly walks away.
You continue forward onto Liverpool Road. In a daze you turn left, your mind racing through what that could mean. When you reach Deansgate you turn right again….you have a sense this is the right direction. You walk down until you can see Deansgate Station….left or right? But which way.
Type in the name of the original station that you can see above Deansgate to progress.
HintYou only need the first two words….. K and M

Page fourteenLeft. Lets go for it. When you reach the station, you turn left onto Whitworth Street West. You keep walking down until it comes to you, you smile as you see the archway that reads “First Street” and turn left onto the canal, making sure to stay safe and away from the waters edge.
You can hear a bit of noise now….and your excitement builds. You turn left towards the noise and start to see the gated artwork that are fixed to the wall, telling a story through the ages of this wonderful club.
You see a keypad on the wall…. but what to put in? You remember the code you found before. You enter it.
HintWhat was the year scribbled on the statue? 19...?
