What happened to the excavation team that suddenly
disappeared without a trace? The answer lies in
the pages of this diary, which were thought to have
been lost. Once more, you must solve 63 puzzles. To
do so, you need: this book, a pencil, a smartphone,
tablet or computer with Internet access, courage
and good judgement. A real challenge for EXIT
pros – for on-the-go and in between games.
→ Exceptional youth thriller to go with the bestselling
game
→ Unique implementation: solve puzzles without
concern for the book
Party in a run-down amusement park that is clouded in secrecy? Who
can say no to this – in any case Mina can’t! And the rumours about a
killer who has been waiting for years for someone to stray again onto
the site? Sure! But then the way out is suddenly blocked and one after
the other disappears.

What’s that, holes in the book? Yes, and special ones at that! Toddlers
love to look through something somewhere and use their fingers
to feel what’s behind it. This is why the punched holes guide the
gaze and small fingers into mysterious worlds. Who or what lives in
the ocean? Which animals hide below the soil? Each time a page is
turned, insight into the animals’ living environment becomes more
intensive.
Magical, lifelike drawings show animals in their mysterious habitats.
And at the end of the journey deep into the earth and deep into the
ocean, a small treasure waits to be found.
Look Deep into the Ocean

Yes, Mia is a witch – just like aunt Polly! And aunt Polly is the person teaching Mia everything about
conjuring. Both of their faces have a birthmark that changes colour depending on their mood and betrays
their feelings. Lying is therefore not so easy. But conjuring to assist humans and animals works
that much better.
Yet, learning to conjure isn’t easy at all – unplanned lightning can hit class mates, for instance. Chock
full of slapstick: from pigs in the classroom to Pipi the rhinoceros.

Really close to a large, dark forest and observed by many forest

Marco Sonnleitner has been
a big fan of The Three ???
since his own childhood. He is
bubbling over with ideas and
can skillfully and effortlessly
implement them in texts with
strong, witty dialogs.
→ Even more exciting: now the enemies of The
Three ??? have a chance to speak, too!
→ The truth is on locked pages
While diving in Scull Cove, The Three ??? come across a strange story:
during a storm, the sailing boat of a harbour worker sank here. A man
who knows the sea capsizes near the coast? Very strange! When
Justus, Peter and Bob are attacked by unknown persons while they
investigate the wreck, the situation becomes dramatically more
severe.
