Your mission is to find the controversial diamond necklace that helped trigger the French Revolution. In 1785 France was ready to burst into the flames of revolution. That year a Church official, the cardinal de Rohan, ordered a diamond necklace to be made in the name of the queen, Marie Antoinette. The French people assumed that the necklace was another example of the queen's extravagance. They were enraged. A scandal erupted. The queen denied any knowledge of the necklace. Eventually it was proven that the cardinal had actually intended all along to give the necklace to his court favorite, the comtesse de La Motte. The cardinal and the comtesse were punished for their trickery. Soon after, the angry French people revolted, and the necklace disappeared. You must travel back to eighteenth-century France to find the missing necklace and learn what role it played in the Revolution. But be careful.
