Is there something fishy in the fish camp? Is there something crafty in the craft cabin? Something trapped in the trapper's cabin? Is the duck pond indeed ducky?
Those who wish to answer these questions and more can explore Huble Homestead on Sherlock Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. as families and friends are invited to come explore the heritage site in a unique way.
New this year, Sherlock Saturday will also take place again on Aug. 19.
"We've added a few new self-led activities to the Huble Homestead schedule this year," Krystal Leason, operations manager at Huble Homestead/Giscome Portage Heritage Society said.
Along with Sherlock Saturday there is also Scavenger Saturday on held July 22.
"We're mostly just wanting to offer people a novel way to explore the historic site on their own with a group of family or friends," said Leason.
The way it works is that when guests arrive at the site they can let staff know they'd like to participate.
They will give you the first clue which will send guests looking for more puzzles and clues to solve in order to crack the case.
"The glory of it is you can do as much of it as you want to, and you can take as much time as you need or want and if you need to stop for lunch you can," Leason said.
"There's no time limit."
Clues will take guests all over the site.
"Hopefully it will take you places that you don't normally explore," she added.
"Not everyone takes a tour or goes on the river trail or sees the fish camp and those are places you'll be sent to find all of your clues. There's people on hand that will help you out. It's not really a competition just something fun for you to do as a family or group and hopefully it's beautiful and sunny and you can spend some time outside."
There are prizes for those who solve the case.
Huble Homestead is open every day from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Labour Day.
Admission is by donation.
The Huble Homestead Historic Site is located on Mitchell Road, 40 kilometre north of Prince George on Highway 97.
