Mission

A world-renowned artwork has been stolen from the National Gallery and a brilliant detective needs your help to solve the crime. Interview museum staff who were present on the fateful night, investigate El Greco masterpieces for hidden messages, search through works by Moralis and Tsarouchis to gather information about the thief, and collect evidence at each artwork.
