Dear All,
I admit - I am confused by the whole thing. I just received the final package in the John Augur mystery that I received as a gift, and I just don't 'get' it.... is there a point to it all? Am I missing something critical that should lead me somewhere to something tangible and valuable, or is it all just about the mystery? Is it worth me going back through and trying to work it all out? My whole family is just a bit confused by the whole thing and what we are supposed to do with all the info and artefacts that have arrived. I just don't understand!! Many thanks, Confused.com

What specifically are you confused about?
If you got involved in the story-line, that is it's own reward. If you didn't attempt to work it out and instead just read through the papers as they came in, then at the very least you have an interesting curio you can place on your mantel. Nothing more is actually required of you.

There is a long thread on this experience that I suggest you read through, including all of the spoilers. That will help you to decide.

Maybe the original poster isn't sure what the whole experience is. It is nothing more than a story, just not told via a book but through other media. It has some interactive elements but these are only for your own enjoyment. This isn't an interactive game. Just a story with a cool artefact as a reward. Maybe that explanation helps?

Thanks - you are right - just waned to be sure I wasn't missing some additional secret point to it all besides being an interesting adventure to read and discover/think about. I didn't want to miss the point if it was to actually go somewhere and find something additional - like a treasure hunt or something. Thanks for clearing it up a bit for me! I haven't missed any mailings and have all the 'pieces' - I just hadn't really worked out what the story is to link them all. But thanks for your help - I will also go and find the other thread mentioned above.

If you're interested in something that's more interactive than the Experiences, the newspaper subscription Curios and Conundrums, which is what this forum is named after, has many puzzles and hidden aspects that lead to interesting and unexpected places. None of the Experiences have the same kind of heavy interactive involvement, though a number of them feature small puzzles and/or things you can search for online that relate to the story that they're telling. For example, with John Augur, while I'm not promising that it's anything extremely exciting or dramatic, make sure to visit the website listed on the travel brochure that you got in the final mailing, and pay close attention to the spelling.

That was just a Google Maps screenshot, correct?
