"You have $20 and five minutes inside Aunt Matilda's attic. What treasure are you taking home?"

Aunt Matilda never cared much for the main road.
She preferred hidden passages, secret gardens, and places that rewarded the curious.
If you find yourself wandering St. George Street this week, keep an eye out for the Hidden Corridor.
Follow it to the end and you may discover steampunk treasures, peculiar gifts, literary oddities, and a few surprises Aunt Matilda left behind.
Some adventures begin with simply opening the right gate.

Can you spot it?

Fun fact:

Victorian travelers often returned home with collections of unusual objects from their journeys.

Aunt Matilda appears to have taken this idea a bit too far.
