THE STORY BEGINS

You’ve just stepped into something extraordinary.

At Lantern Lane Bakery, Mira has found a bundle of jumbled preparation notes. The neighborhood breakfast must leave at dawn. Recover the right order, plan the bake and match its dispatch seal through eight connected paper puzzles. This is a pretend bakery: you need pencils, not cooking equipment.

Work through 8 connected puzzles: classification, recipe arithmetic, timetables, ordering logic, map tracing, mirror patterns, code lookup, 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.
