It is May, 1939 and as the problems on continental Europe mount, British Intelligence need the group to focus on a problem at home. They believe a city banker is providing funding and support to the Germans. They also believe he has specific knowledge about plans for a German incursion on to British soil.
Just what does this fiendish financier know?
We have two identical experiences. You can just play one or bring two teams and race!

This can be the first paragraph of your review, or a short summary, or left blank, as you prefer. Anything longer than a couple of lines may get truncated.
We are in another time zone here, looking to swap important documents for fake ones. Once again the puzzles are mixture of logic and search based (including a couple that might defeat younger players as they have no concept of how it might work!). Theming is good but there is a possibility of an insta-fail on the last puzzle so take care.
As is not at all evident from the name, Banking on Trouble is set at the beginning of World War II, and your goal is to find information about a possible Nazi invasion of Britain - specifically, the landing place and time. The game's name is a reference to the fact that you're infiltrating the office of a traitorous City banker to find this information. (If you find use of Nazi symbolism distasteful, be warned that you may encounter some in this game.)
