Hello and welcome to the Viola Quest site!

As well as giving you fun challenges to complete this site helps you find out about Manchester, make new friends and discover information about MMU Library and other services.

My name is Percy Root, and I've set up this site to help my friend Viola solve a puzzling mystery - I really hope you can help too.

It all started when Viola found a strange map piece, and we're trying to work out exactly what's going on and track down the other pieces of the map. You can help us by solving the challenges and trying to unravel the mystery.

The first thing you need to do is sign up so that you can take part.

Once you've logged in, head over to the challenges page, which shows the challenges that are currently available to work on (as well as Viola's map mystery there are 25 of my own which will help you develop skills for university - I hope you can help me with these too). Click on a segment of the map or the picture below to get started.

The forums are set out so that they provide clues and so that we can ask questions and give each other a hand solving the challenges - let's just post hints though, and not use them to actually post the answers so we don't spoil it for others.

If you want to check out who else is helping and how you're doing, head over to the leaderboard.

You'll probably also find it useful to keep an eye on Viola's blog and my blog as the story unfolds.
