Clues

• Some clues are straight-forwardly things you have to find or make.
• Some clues you will have to decipher before you know what it is you have to find or make.
• Clues prefixed by a [T] indicate a timed clue and you have to be in the right place at the right time in order to find out or get what it is you have to bring back.
• Not all clues relate to Tate or the local area, but if you’re stuck, think ART!
