      THE INVESTIGATION BEGINS . . . 

      Like every summer, you spend your vacation with your grandparents in a medieval town in Normandy, France. As if this weren’t unusual enough, your grandfather also happens to be a security guard at the local history museum. You’ve always loved the museum, and one night you tag along on one of his night shifts. But as chance would have it, that night there’s a theft! But what did they steal? And why did they steal it? Collect clues, question suspects, stay on the thief’s tail, and discover the mysterious treasure they’re seeking!

      Solve the puzzles, chase the criminal, and recover the treasure by exploring the medieval town and its history!

      HOW TO READ THIS BOOK

      On the inside of the back cover, you’ll find a museum map and a town map to help you find your way around. Both of them show you the main locations you can visit. You can move around freely using these maps. You don’t have to follow a specific order.

      Some numbers, however, have dotted lines around them. To get to these places, you’ll have to solve puzzles using your smarts—and sometimes specific objects. You’ll be told when you’ve unlocked access to them. And there are some locations that aren’t on the map. You’ll find them yourself over the course of your investigation.

      On your adventure, you’ll come across objects and clues in bold in the text. Like a magnifying glass, for example. You’ll want to make a note of each object in your inventory, located in the back of the book on page A3, and keep track of each clue on A4.

      When you are in a specific place and want to use an object, you can create a combination. You can find all the possibilities at the back of the book, on A2, and on the inside front cover.

      How do the combinations work? You’ll find some numbers in the tables. These numbers point you to sections in the book you can visit by using the corresponding objects. Some objects can be used in pairs, like a magnifying glass and a newspaper.

      If you want to use the magnifying glass, you can see what will happen by going to 140. If you use the magnifying glass and newspaper together, go to 141. To use the newspaper on its own, go to 142. Read these sections now to practice.

      Beware! If you don’t have an object in your inventory or it’s not given as an option in your combination table, you can’t use it.

      Throughout the adventure, your cat, Professor Whiskers, will be by your side. He’ll give you hints throughout the book. But this feline can be fickle, and his hints can be quite cryptic.

      As you may have noticed, this book is illustrated. For some puzzles, there are clues hidden within the images, so pay close attention to those details.

      Try to remember everything you can. . . . You never know what might be important! And don’t hesitate to make a note of the clues—there’s some space for this in the back of the book on page A4.

      Have fun!

      A night at the museum

      You wake up to meowing.

      Shh, Professor Whiskers! Let me sleep.

      Meow!

      Oh, that cat! It probably wasn’t the best idea to bring him with you tonight. Wait . . . that means you fell asleep on the job.
