Room descriptions:
Mystery of the Missing Story Time
You've arrived at the library ready to join in the weekly story time, only to discover the story room is empty. The children's librarian is always on time, so you know something must be wrong. That's when you realize - there's no story book set out ready to read! The librarian must have gone in search of the missing story. Can you follow the clues and help find the missing story (and librarian) before all the children show up?
Spy Academy
Ready to start your first day of training at the elite, top-secret spy academy, you show up to discover the office in chaos. The director has just received intel that a spy from a competing academy has infiltrated the building, and is attempting to steal top secret files and sabotage the institution. Not knowing who to trust, the director has decided that uncovering the name of the double agent would be a perfect first assignment for you and your new team! If you fail this mission, it will mean the destruction of the academy. Can you use your spy skills to uncover the culprit?
Wizarding Exams
The end of the school year at Wizards U is almost here - all you have left to do is pass your final examination! Only, when you arrive at the testing room, there are no desks, no parchments - and no examiners! What could this mean? You realize that instead of a written exam, the professors have created a text of skills. Can you follow the clues and pass your class?
Escape the Mummy's Tomb
You and your archaeological team have been studying the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, when you notice an unusual detail in one of the hieroglyphs. Upon closer inspection, it leads to you to a previously undiscovered room in the complex - or at least, that's what you thought. As you begin to examine the room, you realize there are multiple skeletons. Not mummies - much more modern than that. Sensing danger, you and your team turn to leave, only to discover that the doorway you came through has been sealed, leaving you trapped! Your only hope now is to discover the hidden clues in the mysterious tomb that will lead you to freedom. Do you have what it takes to escape the mummy's tomb, or will you be the next victim of the mummy's curse?
