WELCOME TO
SANTA CRUZ!
The famous surfer statue of Santa Cruz, California has been stolen! A site for visitors and locals alike to meet up and enjoy the view of West Cliff now stands empty. The local chapter of the Honorable Investigative Group of Hippies (HIGH) has been working around the clock to gather intel about the missing statue. Three nights ago, Instagram photos suggest the statue was in place and bedecked with a lei of flowers. But the next morning, early riser surfers arrived at Steamers Lane to find their beloved statue gone.
After extensive surveillance from street cams, it is suspected that Indigo Moonbeam, a local who is fed up with the gentrification of Santa Cruz, is the culprit. He boasted somewhere on Pacific Avenue that he hid the statue somewhere within the county. The location has been encrypted and details have been carved onto different sea shells collected on the beach.
Moonbeam's accomplices have possession of the shells and are stationed throughout Santa Cruz. Your mission is to track down the shells and discover where the statue has been hidden. A cryptic tour guide pamphlet was found in Moonbeam’s beach house that will help you locate his team. Solve the puzzles at each location and provide the proper password to collect the shells.

Good luck!
