Highlights

Littlewick's giant whale lantern has vanished. Unopened battery packs are missing, and a suspicious CANCELLED sign has appeared on the gate. The Halloween parade needs a detective team.

Match Jo's lantern labels, follow the muddy cart route, check the battery count and compare both wheel tracks. Then choose the missing panel patterns and sort the village rumours from the facts. Nobody is murdered or hurt, and the ending brings the lanterns back out.

FOR FAMILIES
Designed for children roughly 8-12 solving with adults. This is design guidance, not an age range validated by families. Reading, simple sums, matching and map directions are involved; adults can read aloud and help. Suggested 2-6 players with adults. No verified playtime is claimed.

A COMPLETE TABLETOP INVESTIGATION
Six evidence tasks and a final team report. Record the team's deduction before opening Closing Evidence to explain the notice and the reason behind it. Everyone investigates together: no character acting, host or advance solution reading. No hidden clues around the house, cutting, props or app. Ordinary paper and pens; play at your own pace with no real timer. Spooky village atmosphere, missing equipment and a false notice; no murder, violence or jump scares.
