THE STORY BEGINS

You’ve just stepped into something extraordinary.

The Moonwheel Carnival opens in an hour, but its clockwork parade has lost the starting sequence. Follow eight backstage records, find the correct control settings and give the paper performers their opening night.

Work through 8 connected puzzles: reading clues, linked ciphers, logical ordering, map routes, number puzzles, and bring the clues together for a final answer. Play at your own pace, with two progressive hints for every puzzle.

Play times are estimates and vary by group. Ages are guidance; younger players may need an adult.
