    Good luck!

  • Your friend has invited you over to their house. Once you get there, you go to their room. Your friend is not there, but they have left a letter for you.

  • Image field 12

  • The letter says:

    I have a surprise for you! We're going on a trip. But before we can leave, you have to find your plane ticket. I'll meet you at the airport. Have fun, and good luck!

    P.S. Look on my desk for the first clue.

    You need to find the plane tickets your friend has hidden.

    You go to the desk to take a look around.

  • On the desk is a colorful graph with letters.

  • Image field 69

  • There is a note from your friend next to it. The note says:

    Find the right letters and you will know what room to go to next.

  • Office! That must be where you'll find the next clue. You decide to go to the office.

  • That's not quite right. Try again!

    Hint: Look at the color of the top box. Then find the letter in the box that is the same color.

    The first three letters are OFF.

  • You go to the office. There are five backpacks and five suitcases lined up against the wall. You look at the back of your friend's note. It says:

    I've hidden the next clue in one of these. To find the right one, remember these rules:

    1. The clue is not in the yellow backpack or the red backpack.

    2. The clue is not in a blue suitcase.

    3. The clue is not in a backpack with a stuffed animal keychain.

    4. The clue is not in the middle backpack or suitcase.

    5. The clue is not in a suitcase with a band around it.

  • Image field 26
  • Which backpack or suitcase do you open?*

  • You look inside the suitcase and see some old photos. You decide to take a closer look.

  • It's empty. Try again!

    Hint: The clue is in one of the suitcases, so don't worry about the backpacks!

  • The photos show the Eiffel Tower being built. Each photo has a letter in the corner. Maybe they spell out where the next clue is?

  • Image field 25

  • Book! You decide to look at the bookshelf.

  • That's not quite right. Try again!

    Hint: Put the photos in order from the beginning of building to the end. The letters on the photos will spell a word.

  • The bookshelf has a lot of books on it, but there is one that is sticking out farther than the others.

  • Image field 42

  • You decide to open the book.

  • Some old postcards fall out of the book when you open it.

  • Image field 37

  • You decide to put the postcards back.

  • You find a page with empty spots for the postcards.

    You realize that each postcard has a number in the corner. Maybe if you put the postcards back in the right order, you will find a useful code.

  • Image field 46
  • Image field 47
  • What code do you find?

  • That's the correct code, but what could it go to?

    You look around and see a box on the bookshelf. There is a combination lock on the box.

  • Image field 51

  • You turn the combination lock to 3-8-6. It opens!

    You decide to look in the box.

  • That's not quite right. Try again!

    Hint: Match the shape of the postcards to the shape of the empty spaces.

  • Inside the box are plane tickets.

  • Image field 23

  • You look at the different tickets. You aren't sure which ticket is the right one!

    As you move the tickets around, you see a piece of paper under them. You decide to take it out and look at it.

  • You unfold the paper.

    There are pictures of nine flags from different countries around the world. Your friend has written a note to help you. It says:

    You're very close! To find out what country we're going to, you need to pick the right flag. To find the right one, follow these rules:

    1. The flag does not have yellow on it.

    2. The flag does not have orange on it.

    3. The flag has white on it.

    4. The flag does not have green on it.

    5. The flag has blue on it.

  • Image field 59
  • Which flag do you pick?*

  • The Australian flag is the right one! You take the Australia ticket and go to the airport.

  • Image field 56

  • That's not quite right. Try again!

    Hint: The correct flag is red, white, and blue.

  • Image field 9

  • Congratulations! You arrive at the airport, find your friend, and go on an amazing adventure!
