Team 'Supakall' braved 'The Bridge House Mystery' last week and managed to uncover the secret of the missing Rigg family in 1 hour and 15 minutes, leaving them plenty of time to soak up their achievements outside the iconic Bridge House.

If you think you have what it takes, step inside the 17th-century building and solve the mystery yourself...
