Let's Play Deductions!

[Shadow Dweller]

A playground?

Or recretional terrace for private function, family bbq...

It could serve as one.

 

Scores so far:

Van Buren Supernova: 2 (a resort, playground - recreational terrace for private function - family BBQ)

Inge l-w: 1 (garden next to a workplace complex)

joanneta1: 1 (private garden of the company's CEO)

Arcadia: 1 (private residence of someone powerful)

[Inge l-w]

Shanghai, the private garden of Huawei's CEO

[Shadow Dweller]

Shanghai, the private garden of Huawei's CEO

No, it is not.

[Arcadia]

The CEO's residence at Disneyland? :D

[Shadow Dweller]

Lol no. The question is not about who the place belongs to but what kind of place is that. So far some tidbits already correctly deduced but not the whole picture yet.

 

See the smaller structure? It is a nice place to play games while laying on top of the mattress that covered its floor. Big enough for the average adult to stretch their legs fully, with sheer drapes to cover should you decide to take a nap there.

[Arcadia]

It's the private residence of a CEO and it's next to/part of a recreational area which is next to/part of a workplace complex! Ta da! :p

[Shadow Dweller]

It's the private residence of a CEO and it's next to/part of a recreational area which is next to/part of a workplace complex! Ta da! :p

LOL! Still did not cover the whole picture.

 

Another clue; the bigger structure is one of the several spread on the property and they all serve the same functions.

[Arcadia]

Several homes, and they're all yours? :p

 

I admit it, I'm stumped..........

[Shadow Dweller]

I never said they belongs to me :D Still waiting, who can topple Van Buren's score?

 

Another bigger structure, this one is relatively standing right next of the previous one.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Private villa/cottage/bungalow with gazebo for smaller structures?

[Shadow Dweller]

Yups, that's the correct description for those two structures. This one count as resort and also situated near a walkway leading to the parking area (hidden behind plants beside the gazebo). ^^ But, what kind of place is that? Highlight on the functions.

 

Scores so far:

Van Buren Supernova: 2 (a resort, playground - recreational terrace for private function - family BBQ)

Inge l-w: 1 (garden next to a workplace complex)

joanneta1: 1 (private garden of the company's CEO)

Arcadia: 1 (private residence of someone powerful)

[Van Buren Supernova]

Hmmmmm... (scratch head wildly)

Could this be a retreat, some kind of wellness place.

 

Place to hold team-building, reunion, family events or more informal business meeting.

[Shadow Dweller]

You got it. ^^ This is a convenient place to stop for a night or two if happen to visit the aforementioned workplace complex. It also used to entertain guests and colleagues who is in the area.

 

Nobody ever ask about where the stairway leading to, too bad. :D

 

Your turn to give us a mystery.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Yipeee.. monkey dance...

Good one SD, you made us nuts

 

If it's not too late, where is the stairway leading to? XD

 

Will post a picture soon.

[Shadow Dweller]

To the first floor of the building, and there's another walkway from there that lead to the main building where conference room, entertainment, mini bar & BBQ area located. ^^ The point is, even Sherlock sometimes needs to see the crime scene himself (remember the case of the murdered sportman in ASiB? Boomerang). If he cannot do it (or failed to persuade John to wander around countryside alone), then he will ask for further information from witnesses.

[Van Buren Supernova]

I wanted to ask for more clue, but since everyone else toughed it out, I had to :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Here is next one.

1. What is happening here?

2. Which country is it?

 

If you know answer 1, you will able to know answer 2. There are enough information from the picture.

[Shadow Dweller]

Yes... And appearance can be deceiving. The first picture came right after your Hongkong fortune teller. Yours had helped to set the atmosphere of Eastern mystery for the case. Despite the projected serenity, that is a place for business and have absolutely nothing to do with spiritual retreat of any kind.

[Arcadia]

I wanted to ask for more clue, but since everyone else toughed it out, I had to :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Here is next one.

 

1. What is happening here?

2. Which country is it?

 

If you know answer 1, you will able to know answer 2. There are enough information from the picture.

Well, heck, I wanted more clues too, but everyone else toughed it out, so.... :P

 

Okay. From the way they're dressed, they look like Americans, but for all I know everyone's dressing like that these days (it's been a long time since I've been outside the States). But the sign's in English, and there's a Coke bottle -- but neither of those really mean anything anymore either .... multiple ethnicity's, so that's no help ..... can't see the TV screen well enough to tell anything from that except there's a talking head, probably describing what's happening .... ah. I got it.

 

It's District 12, and they're watching the Hunger Games.

[J.P.]

The surface behind the fence is white. First thought: it's hockey. But the area seems to narrow for a stadium and you dont's stand around. The fence suggests something is flying around here. A longish sports field of some sort.

 

Those guys photographing are both in red T-shirts, and there are two more people in red.

There are palms in the background.

[Arcadia]

If it really is the USA, the palms suggest Florida or California. The fence suggests something highly dangerous. It looks long and narrow; race cars? But I can't think of a famous car race in either state, so maybe another country? Maybe that race that Benedict was the emcee for? Am I anywhere in the ballpark?

 

 

[Inge l-w]

It looks like a race track, the fence being there to protect the spectators, the people seem to be on a trampoline on the other side of the fence, and a large screen on the near fence seems to be showing the progress of the race. Probably not US, but Indonesia or any of the many parts of the original Sherlock Holmes's British Empire.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Are people watching the practice of the Jamaican Bobsled team?

[Arcadia]

Nice one, Camper, I can't top that!

[Van Buren Supernova]

@Arcadia.. no, it's not district 12. The fence is not electrified XD. Not BC as emcee or Stanley Tucci.

And wow.. I can't even make out the writing in the sign. It's not America, but well done, you are on the right track about something highly dangerous and the keyword...  race cars! 

 

So, also good deduction about not stadium and something flying J.P.

But I also like the imagination of watching something dangerous on trampoline, Inge XD.  But no trampoline, but yes it's racetrack and the screen show progress on the race. Not Indonesia (and I believe Indonesia is never part of British Empire).

 

Not Bobsled Camper, but it's a sound deduction.

 

So, recacar, dangerous, fence for protection. 

What and where?

[SherlockedCAMPer]

The top part of the sign says viewing platform form after that it's too small.

 

 

How about formula 1 racing in Monaco?
