Many events, groups and venues in the Chelmsford Ideas Festival are hosting an Artefact for the Chelmsford Ideas Festival Mystery Hunt.

(You can see a list of participating hosts here.)

During the Festival days (20th October - 2nd November, you can seek them out.

The Artefacts are small creative responses to ideas raised by that host. Some of them are objects to spot, some are things you can interact with. Some Artefacts will be present in the space, others online.

Keep your eyes open for the Mystery Hunt symbol...

.. Anything marked with this is an Artefact.

These responses can be enjoyed on their own, or you can keep a log of what you find to unlock secret content, and be in with a chance to win a prize.

Download your hunt guide, or pick one up from the Ideas Hub.

Each Artefact is accompanied by a tag, giving you your clue letter, and a QR code you can scan to find out more about the Artefact. To download a QR Code reader, visit your device's app store and search "QR code reader". I use QR Droid.

Artefacts are divided into 7 categories. You only need to find one Artefact from each category to solve the riddle and complete the game.

Good luck!

This website will grow with responses from the Hunt, so check back and see the changes.

Chelmsford Ideas Festival Mystery Hunt is commissioned by Chelmsford Ideas Hub, for Chelmsford Ideas Festival 2014.
