Hi all,

I'm in group 12 for the second challenge. Saddled with the tricky genre of Mystery and featuring a carrot. 

The bit I'm finding most difficult for some reason is the location: A Conservatory

In the UK (Where I'm from) a 'conservatory' is a glass construction attached to someone's house, but I think that in the US a 'conservatory' is what we would call a 'conservatoire;' a school for the classical study of music or other arts.

I'm hoping it will be fine if my story is set in either location, but I just wanted to check with some Americans. Does conservatory apply to both definitions?

I'm American and my first thought for "conservatory" is the glass room like you mentioned, like in Clue/Cluedo, so I think you'd be fine to use that. The other meaning, for a music conservatory or similar, would also work. 

Good luck!
