## ARG BOX SERIES

ARG stands for alternate reality game. It consists of various artifacts (e.g. letters, pictures, items, documents etc). By sorting through the contents, individuals are able to piece together the story and gather enough clues to solve the mystery. There is a conclusion envelope included in the box so individuals can see if the conclusion matches what they had uncovered and to see what they missed.

While each box self-contains its own adventure, the adventure does take place in the academy saga universe and contributes to the overall story. Because the contents of a box are all hand made, a limited number of boxes are available for purchase at time. Since boxes are not limited to a one-year release, the conclusions of the adventure will not be detailed out. Instead, a brief summary of the mystery waiting to be solved and important overall story tidbits will be pointed out. Any spoilers on the conclusion will not be revealed.

 2022/2007/1987
This particular adventure involves two connected mysteries in the same box and spans three different time periods.
The box starts off in 2022 with a letter from 392643 to the Magical Eye Detective Agency. In the letter, 392643 pointedly acknowledges the existence of the Chronos Lab, a highly secretive and confidential department within the Magical Eye Detective Agency. While 392643 does not explain how this information was obtain, 392643 offers a trade. 392643 will help them recover their missing employee, and in exchange, the Magical Eye Detective Agency would use the Chronos Lab to relay a message to their department employees in 2007. They would be instructed to reach out to Ash, the head of Trefoil Academy of Magery and Sorcery in 2007 and the agency would offer to put themselves on retainer. Knowing that the head of the academy would be suspicious especially with the timing of recent events, 392643 provided them with a letter to share with her.
In 2007, the academy was in the process of relocating their storage unit to a new location. During the moving, the academy staff discovered a body in one of the Wonder of the Black Lake trunks. The body belonged to Allison "Whisper" Tucker, a professor at Trefoil Academy of Magery and Sorcery, who had been reported missing in 1987. In the process of trying to solve the mystery, it was noticed that someone is still actively seeking to cover up the cold case.
In 1987, Allison "Whisper" Tucker, a professor at Trefoil Academy of Magery and Sorcery. Belonging to the Ravenoth House, Whisper taught subjects such as History of Magic, Alchemy, Charms, and Advance Enthrallment. However, all was not right at the academy. As tensions steadily increased between different professors, Whisper suddenly disappeared without warning.
**Important Overall Story Points:**
* The artifacts from 1987 reveal the existence of seven houses, not the four at are commonly known. The academy is under a curse.
* The Magical Eye Detective Agency has the capability to travel through time. While they are not able to transport a person, artifacts and orders may be passed among department employees from different time periods. This allows them to address crimes throughout time.
* The letter that 392643 had the agency share contained a coded message that detailed the location of a pocket watch that allows for the bearer to send information forward in time to a particular individual and/or location.
