In Rocky Beach, California, live The Three Detectives: Justus Jonas,
Peter Shaw and Bob Andrews. Together, they are The Three ???
and there is nothing they don’t take on! The three friends witness
exciting detective stories, solve puzzles no matter how tricky,
and can always rely on one another. It’s always warm and sunny
in Rocky Beach. Not far away from this small coastal town the
friend’s secret head quarter is located. They call it “Teapot” as it
is an old disused water tank for steam engines and therefore
looks like a teapot.

During investigations, the crime scene can be examined using a magnifying
glass, ruler and a pair of tweezers. Messages are encrypted and decrypted using
code discs and short messages and passwords can be stashed in the integrated
secret compartment, for confidentiality. Periscope mirrors, a compass and a
sundial can be very useful when tailing someone!
