Treasure hunt time, Jem! Open doors on my island!
The Mysterious Case of the Missing Melons!One day Explorer Pevans was happily tending to his four prize watermelons named Nixon, Regan, Carter and Ford. He had high hopes for them winning Tom Nook's Inter-Island Prize Water-Melon Competition! He watered them all through the day, and before going to bed he sang to them the songs of his youth, staring at them head in his hands and dreaming about the fabulous prizes Tom might bestow on him for having - in his own humble opinion - the bestest melons around...

Little did Pevans know as he settled into bed that night that the Fiendish Dr. Bones - jealous of his melons - had decided to play a mean trick and hide them around the island! "MUAH HA HA!" cried out Dr. Bones to no one in particular, "This will teach him for having better melons than I! He'll wake up and find them gone and the salty tears pouring in his eyes will blind him - he'll never find them before the competition starts!"

The Fiendish Dr. Bones got to work, hiding the four big round green melons at various tricky places around the island. So sure of his victory over Explorer Pevans, he then decided to post taunting clues on the village message board.

When Pevans awoke he made his way with happy anticipation to his little garden with his tape measure to see how much larger the melons had grown over-night. But there he was to find a shock - a shock I tell you! THE MELONS WERE GONE!

Panicking he immediately ran down to the Village Hall to see if anyone else had noticed this calamity. There his eyes fell upon the notice-board and a taunting message from the Fiendish Dr. Bones...

What horrors! Explorer Pevans immediately fainted - was revived by a passing villager - and fainted again.
Too shocked, upset and disheartened to find the melons himself he put a message of his own up on the board appealing for help, and the clues from a scribbled taunting note the Fiendish Dr. Bones had left at the scene of the crime.

Blubbering and blinded by tears he then stumbled back to his village home and sat down on a chair by the beach, looking out to sea. His only hope lay in another villager - or visitor - finding them! Can you help Explorer Pevans by finding the four melons and telling him where they are?!
