The Journal of Dr. Tiberius Hess
The Nautilus Gears of Dr. Tiberius Hess is a time-travelling treasure hunt designed by the Hamilton Public Library (HPL). The HPL was given a battered journal written by the Victorian Dr. Hess. It contains descriptions of his life in the Hamilton of 1850-1860. Remarkably, it also contains mention of a time machine Hess claims to invented and which is driven by mysterious nautilus gears. Hess claims to have hidden a set of the gears somewhere in Hamilton when he time-travelled to current day Hamilton. Each week for six weeks the HPL is releasing excerpts from Hess’s journal along with clues Hess crafted that seem to reveal where he hid his gears. If you figure out where the gears are hidden you could win a beautiful mahogany puzzle box and a golden gears brooch, both created by young Hamilton craftsmen.
