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

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

that much better.<br />
Yet, learning to conjure isn’t easy at all – unplanned lightning can hit class mates, for instance. Chock<br />
full of slapstick: from pigs in the classroom to Pipi the rhinoceros.<br />
