January 1780. You are members of the Culper Ring, a group of Patriot spies, summoned to the Arnold Tavern in Morristown. General Washington has retired to his residence at the Ford Mansion for the night, but the Tavern remains open as the secret headquarters of his intelligence operations.You meet an informant at the tavern who has intelligence vital to the Continental Army’s continued survival, but a loyalist tavern patron suspects your intentions. He bolts the heavy doors, trapping you inside, and slips away to alert a nearby British patrol. Realizing you are trapped; you must quickly find the informant’s dossier hidden in the tavern and escape before the British regulars arrive and capture you. Do you possess the resolve and wit of a Patriot spy, or will the flame of liberty be extinguished in the Morristown snow?
