The Hunt for the Holy Grail (Mystery Giveaway)
After five months of vacation, the governor returns to the GOG Manor. As he enters the office, he discovers the dead body of his faithful butler, crushed under the safe, a sheet of paper in hand. The governor, believing that it's just a banal accident, hires another butler and forgets about the incident.
Five days later, he receives an arrogant letter from Carmen Sandiego :
Dear Governor,
An important document has been stolen from your safe, and was replaced by a fake !
Your butler witnessed the burglary, and he hired a video game hero to hunt me down...
Unfortunately, the poor hero is now rotting in jail, and the document is about to be sold !
I recently had a little discussion with your butler, and the safe had the last word !
Don't try to find me...
Carmen Sandiego
Desperately wanting to recover the missing artifact, the governor decides to hire the most famous detectives, and you are one of them! As a private investigator, your task is to identify the stolen document and the hero in captivity, and find out where Carmen Sandiego is hiding. The first person who gives the correct combination of "document, hero and country" in a single post wins up to $15 to spend on GOG.
The document, the hero and the country were randomly chosen with the help of Random.org. From time to time, I'll give you some hints to narrow down the possibilities. I've attached the pictures of all the documents, heroes and countries. This might be very helpful for some of the upcoming hints.
Good luck everyone!
