The Singing Remedy
Flora Alvarez
Our goal is to study the effects of different combinations of sounds and aromas on the human body. We are aware of the healing properties of singing bowls and peonies. But how will they work together? Let’s find out!
You’ve learned that the bowl and the peony enhance each other’s healing effects! The five-tone sound system combined with a soothing aroma completely relaxes and soothes those plagued by anxiety.
-
A Good Night’s Sleep
Flora Alvarez
Sophia and Emma came to me hoping for a magical beauty remedy, but there’s no magic here - just self-care. I’m going to give them something special - a salt lamp. Please charge it with your artifacts!
A Himalayan salt lamp charged with artifacts makes for an excellent remedy - it can improve your sleep and breathing! As you may know, good sleep is practically the foundation of beauty.
-
A Remedy for Overwork
Sophia
Dearie, I have such a busy concert schedule, the stress is driving me crazy! Working so much is really bad for my beauty. Flora told me that I need a massage candle. Can you help me find one?
This massage candle is just what I need! Flora claims that I don’t need pills, only pleasant treatments for my mind and body. None of her solutions are simple! I just wanted a miracle cure...
-
Garden Therapy
Flora Alvarez
Sophia keeps saying, "It’s the same thing every day." She’s struggling to keep the sparkle in her eyes, and it’s starting to affect her beauty. She asked me for a remedy - so please find my gardening tools!
These are great gardening tools! I’ve been saving them for just such an occasion. How can they bring back the sparkle to your eyes? Gardening! Physical activity and being close to nature can really work wonders.
-
A Magical Tea Party
Emma Luxmore
I’ve been feeling down for a while now, so I’ve come to Flora for a mood booster. The corners of my lips are drooping and it ages my face! But she just handed me a tea set. Do you have any idea why?
You’ve opened my eyes to the true meaning of this tea set! It’s not about the tea’s healing properties - it’s about the tea ceremony. Sharing tea with good company is the real secret to lifting your spirits. Flora is a genius!
-
Healthy Food
Sophia
I’ve been feeling so weak lately! Could this be a sign of aging? I asked Flora for an invigorating tincture, but she gave me this poster instead. Take a look!
You’re right, it’s a poster promoting healthy eating habits. Flora believes that a balanced diet is the real way to health and beauty - not creams or tinctures. Easier said than done!
-
Inner Beauty
Flora Alvarez
Sophia and Emma came to me asking for a youth elixir. Well, let’s find them an effective remedy against old age. They’ll never see this one coming! Please help me find the massage slippers.
Here, these massage slippers will help you stay young and spry longer. How, you may ask? Foot massage revitalizes the body by activating its bioactive points. Everything in the human body is connected!
-
Flora’s Arsenal
Flora Alvarez
The pharmacy’s storeroom is a goldmine! I’ve found an old compounding index, but the pages are brittle with age. Please help me restore them with your artifacts!
You’ve done an incredible job restoring the compounding index! That’s decades of a pharmacist’s painstaking work. I can’t wait to study it properly. Hopefully, I’ll be able to bring these formulas back to life!
-
Order in All Things
Flora Alvarez
This secret storeroom is a veritable treasure trove. Maybe we’ll also be able to find a label stamp? Mine broke recently, and I really need a replacement. Let’s look for one.
Thank you for finding that stamp for me. Now all my medications will be carefully labeled. By the way, I just came up with a new label design - just wait, you’re going to love it!
-
Scientific Research
Flora Alvarez
Let’s continue exploring the pharmacy’s storeroom - there may be more marvels waiting to be discovered. What do you think of this unusual magnifier? I think I saw one of these in a medical treatise. Here, take a look!
You’re absolutely right! This magnifier was specially designed for examining herbs. It can magnify specimens up to several dozen times! I’ll put it to good use - I have a collection of herbs I haven’t had a chance to study.
-
Welcome to the Pharmacy
Flora Alvarez
What other secrets are hidden in the forgotten storeroom of the pharmacy? Let’s find out! These look like vintage service bells. I wonder if they hold some kind of secret... Please, examine them!
So you’ve discovered that the bells are tuned to different notes. That’s great news! Visitors will be able to make up a whole tune if they want to. Down with the boring stuff!
-
The Pharmacy’s Guardian
Flora Alvarez
There are so many fascinating curios in the pharmacy’s storeroom. Which of them could I use? I saw a snake-shaped door handle around here somewhere. Where did it go? Please help me find it.
You have no idea how special this snake door handle you’ve found is! At first glance, it looks like an ordinary pharmacy fixture, but it is actually a protective talisman. Plus, it’ll look great on the front door.
-
A Vintage Trinket
Flora Alvarez
What kind of useful finds are hidden in the secret storeroom of the pharmacy? Let’s check! As soon as I entered, I spotted this porcelain leech jar. What a lovely discovery! Let’s take a closer look.
This leech jar is a rare find! Hand-painted, first-class porcelain - they don’t make them like this anymore. Did you know that leeches have been used in medicine for two thousand years?
-
Aid from the Ancestors
Flora Alvarez
To find a cure for the woman whose consciousness is trapped in the fog, I have called upon the image of Asclepius’ s-sacred serpent, whom my ancestors served. Seal it with your artifacts!
The vessel bearing the sacred serpent’s image is securely sealed. By turning to it, I can enter a temple sleep right here in the pharmacy - and the recipe for healing will surely come to me.
-
Trouble Brings Us Together
Flora Alvarez
This City seems like the perfect place for my pharmacy. I’m deeply moved by the story of the poor woman whose consciousness is scattered in the fog. It’s horrible! Maybe I can help her.
-
A Shot in the Dark
Abbot Paku
Let’s establish a connection with the fog. We’ll place cards in the center, and I will use them to address the patient’s subconscious mind. The cards will give us a sign! But first, let’s charge them with the energy of the artifacts!
Look! All of the items activated! Someone is answering us through all the channels. An unknown force has turned the card over - it’s a Star, which means hope! And a woman’s face appeared on its back!
-
The Fog’s Visage
Kira Woodville
How do we make contact with the fog? There was a mysterious portrait case - I wasn’t involved, but the Security Service has the data. I’ve requested a copy of that exact portrait. Study it!
This portrait was commissioned by the Shadow. An artist painted his fiancée but failed, resulting in the portrait having a hundred faces. Flora spoke of a cure for the Shadow’s beloved! Is this the same person?
-
Making Contact
Rayden Storke
Since we’ve decided to chat with the mysterious lady of the fog, let’s arm ourselves with a special device. I have a guy I know who’s into this kind of thing - he gave me his radio. What do you think?
You’re right, it’s a spirit radio. That guy used it to communicate with spirits. But it’s not just a receiver - something’s been tweaked in it. I didn’t think much of it before, but it’s just what we need now!
-
Reaching Out
Kira Woodville
We need to reach out to any consciousness the fog may have. Is that what the spiritualistic stuff is for? I sent word to Alford Stone, and he gave us a crystal ball. Take a look!
The pendant ball is tiny, indeed, but Stone asked us not to underestimate this item. He says it once belonged to a powerful sorcerer - time to see if it works.
-
From the Depths of Time
Flora Alvarez
It will take more than wisdom to contact the consciousness of the fog. I have an ancient amulet from my ancestors - it has helped me in my travels. Let’s find it!
Thank you for finding the amulet of serpent wisdom! If someone really is there, it will help me interpret the signs of the fog. I’ve never heard of such a disease, and I doubt my medicine would have helped.
-
A New Prototype
Abbot Paku
The task is difficult, but we can try spiritual methods to communicate with the consciousness of the fog. I’ve taken a small amount of fog to start with - we’ll try to establish a connection. Do you think this is enough?
So, you think the fog in this mortar is enough to contact the hypothetical consciousness? Hmm, that reminds me of the story from the Lower City about soul particles scattered in the fog.
-
What the Darkness Fears
Rayden Storke
Move aside! It’s time to get the Disciples out of here. We’ll scare them away with the purest light. I found a powerful lamp in the closet. Let’s amplify it with artifacts and purify its light!
Well done! Thanks to you, we’ve created a powerful beam of light purified by filters and artifacts. Those Disciples fled the pharmacy for dear life! Take that!
-
Invisible Protection
Abbot Paku
We’ll fight back against the Disciples, but the sooner Flora gives her husband the cure, the better. I made an optical illusion necklace from a display case mirror, but I dropped it. Help me find it!
Thanks for finding the camouflage necklace! I’ve put it on Flora. It doesn’t work perfectly, but at least she’s harder to spot now. With the Disciples confused, she’ll have time to give the cure to her husband.
-
A Silent Threat
Flora Alvarez
We must drive out the Disciples and protect the cure no matter what it takes! I’ve studied the effects of s-sound. Some may heal, while others may disrupt. Find the ultrasonic ocarina!
Give me the ocarina! S-some creatures are afraid of its sound. I hope it works on the Disciples! Cover your ears, just in case! It’s working! Some of them have fled!
-
Miracles of the Pharmacy
Abbot Paku
We’ve got to fight off the Disciples, but there are too many! I can mix the pharmacy’s medicines into an immobilizing dust to stop them in their tracks. Can you help me?
With your help, we’ve created an immobilizing dust. I’ll disperse it on the Disciples and see if it’ll affect these dark creatures. Alright! Several of them have collapsed to the floor and aren’t moving!
-
Trapped in Time
Kira Woodville
The pharmacy’s crawling with Disciples! I’ve been meaning to try my slowing trap, but I can’t find it anywhere. Hurry! Help me find it!
You’ve found my slowing trap! It’ll warp time for any Disciple caught in it and give the agents a chance to neutralize them! We’ve got the best scientists working in the Security Service!
-
Let There Be Light!
Abbot Paku
We must get these lights back on to fend off the disciples! They have an advantage in the dark. There must be bottles of ether in the pharmacy that we can set on fire. Let’s see!
Well done, you’ve made an ethereal lantern! Can you see the shadows flickering? It’s the Disciples! Looks like the Shadow got wind of us and decided to send his puppets this time.
-
A Long-Awaited Medicine
Flora Alvarez
To prepare the elixir, I will take the ginseng, pearl, s-snake venom, orange blossom, and thread from the wedding tie. The technique is complicated, so I’ll need your help. And some artifacts, too!
Thank you for helping me make the potion! I can’t believe I’m holding it! I’ll give it to my husband right away. S-stay alert! The Shadow could show up at any moment.
-
A Wedding Custom
Flora Alvarez
For the medicine to work, we need to add s-something to keep my husband from eternal oblivion. Something tied to his wedding vows. Can you find a cut tie?
Thank you for finding the tie! Traditionally, it’s cut at a wedding and given to the guests. We didn’t have any guests, so Fabio kept it. He s-swore on it to make our lives happy!
-
Eternal Love
Flora Alvarez
The potion for Fabio requires "personal" ingredients - we have to collect them. We’ll need an item that proves my love. I’ve been puzzling over it for ages. Just look at these orange blossoms.
These orange blossoms decorated my hair on our wedding day. I wanted to ensure they’d never fade, just like my love, so I treated them with a solution from my pharmacy.
-
The Power of Asclepius
Flora Alvarez
To cure my husband, we need to add snake venom to the cure. The s-snake is the ancient symbol of Asclepius, the god of medicine. I’m sure I have some left in my pharmacy. Let’s find it!
That’s exactly the kind of snake venom I need! It’s dangerous, of course, but with the right dose, it can heal. Because of this, people often have mixed opinions about snakes. Trust me - I would know...
-
A Symbol of the Soul
Abbot Paku
The cure for oblivion requires unique ingredients. Let’s gather them. The heavenly pearl in a shell is said to have magical powers far beyond ordinary pearls. Can you find it?
Excellent! We’ve got the heavenly pearl. Where did Flora find it? It’s a miracle! The pearl symbolizes the soul within the body and the close bond between them - just what poor Fabio needs!
-
The Root of Life
Abbot Paku
The awakening elixir’s recipe calls for ginseng root infused with the power of dawn. It’s an extremely rare ingredient - I’m amazed Flora got her hands on it. But where is it? Let’s search the pharmacy!
Here’s the dawn ginseng! Flora was starting to worry there. In the East, it’s believed to have the power to bring life to the dying and infirm, and the energy of dawn is said to drive away the darkness of oblivion.
-
Newfound Competition
Flora Alvarez
And now we’ve come to the end of my story: I didn’t make the cure. Wonder why? The answer lies in the mark on the wall. It’s like an eye in the s-sky, constantly watching me. Use some artifacts to get a better look at it.
When I returned to the pharmacy, I found a stranger here demanding the cure. I refused, so he left this mark - it shares everything it sees with him. The moment I make it, he’ll be back!
-
Around the World
Flora Alvarez
Don’t jump to conclusions about me - I’m almost finished with my s-story. Desperate to save my husband, I traveled around the world in search of a cure. And I finally found it! See this pot with the herb?
You have examined the rarest herb in the world. I only found one bush on the Altiplano in South America and took it with me to make medicine for my husband. I had one chance!
-
An Unfortunate Accident
Flora Alvarez
Just stay with me. One night, I transformed in my sleep. When Fabio woke up and saw a giant snake in the bed, he was frightened into oblivion - his tools have been collecting dust ever since... Just look at them...
Did you notice the thick layer of dust on his work tools? Fabio has been on the brink of life and death for a long time now. It’s all my fault! But I’m doing everything I can to cure him.
-
In Sickness and in Health
Flora Alvarez
I’m not dangerous, believe me. Just hear me out. My dreams came true: I had a job I loved, and my lover proposed. But s-something unforeseen happened. Look at this photo!
If you look closely at that wedding photo, you can see my s-snake essence. It started to show through my face sometimes. It was just for a moment, but I was petrified that I wouldn’t be able to keep my human appearance forever.
-
Love and Transformation
Flora Alvarez
I’ll tell you my s-story and prove I’m not dangerous. After my transformation, I found myself in the pharmacy business and tried to get the attention of the man I loved. Find the broken pillbox!
The pillbox you found is a memento. My beloved is a carpenter - I used to break things as an excuse to call him over to fix them. He didn’t have time to fix this one - we got all chatty and ended up on a date instead.
-
A Souvenir from the Past Life
Flora Alvarez
I understand you’re responsible for this city and must protect it from danger. But, please, hear my s-story - just know, it’s hard to believe. See that framed skin?
This framed s-skin used to be mine. I kept it as a memento. I’m from an ancient lineage of temple snakes, which allows me to transition into human form.
-
A Bizarre Find
Rayden Storke
I finished inspecting the pharmacy and found an entire shelf of books on snakes. Coincidence? I’m not sure. Can you help me look through them? Maybe there’s a clue hidden in their pages. The artifacts will illuminate the lines we need!
While studying these books about snakes, I came across something peculiar: alongside the medical books, there are also legends. There’s a whole legend here about snakes turning human. Now why would this be in a pharmacy?
-
Unequivocal Evidence
Kira Woodville
We’ll need hard evidence to prove a snake is living in this pharmacy. Let’s keep investigating. This looks suspicious... What’s wrong with this stack of used prescriptions?
The holes in the prescriptions look like fang marks. Flora claims she used a hole puncher on them to mark unclaimed prescriptions, but she didn’t have it to show us.
-
A Snake’s Entertainment
Rayden Storke
We should check if the snake is in the pharmacy in case Flora lied to us. She could be keeping it for venom to use for her medicines. Look - she must be! Why else would that tree branch be there?
You think this tree branch is here for the snake? It is like a soft featherbed for one. Would you look at that? It even has a few scales stuck to it. The pharmacist can’t deny it now.
-
An Important Clue
Kira Woodville
Let’s examine the pharmacy for traces of the snake - I have no reason not to trust the townspeople who claim they’ve seen it. I found the oddest thing: it looks like a snake’s sweater. What do you think?
You’ve confirmed my hunch - this really is a snake’s sweater. Makes sense - how else would the snake survive the winter? How’s Flora going to explain this one?
-
Additional Heat
Rayden Storke
I don’t trust Flora - I can smell she’s hiding something. Maybe it’s the snake? Let’s try to find its tracks! When we came in, I noticed a hot water bottle set apart from the ones for sale. Let’s check it out.
Thank you, that’s the hot water bottle I was talking about. Did you notice it’s still warm? Snakes are cold-blooded, right? The pharmacy owner is in serious denial about how these things are connected.
-
Favorable Atmosphere
Kira Woodville
We’ll check the pharmacy for signs of the snake. The pharmacist swears she hasn’t seen one, but it’s our job to make sure. Did you notice the humidifier? That’s quite unusual for a pharmacy. Let’s examine it!
The humidifier is running at full capacity. But what for? Could it be for a snake? Flora says the humidity is necessary for some of her medications.
-
A Mysterious Incident
Rayden Storke
The townspeople complain about a huge snake on the loose near the pharmacy. Let’s find out who’s responsible and catch both of them. I’ll write down every step of the case in the Diary.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
Suspicious Silence
Rayden Storke
The pharmacist made the place look pretty, but it’s still a bit wretched. I usually avoid doctors - they’re always trying to fill you up with all kinds of nasty stuff. Let’s go in carefully!
Hmm, it smells like licorice cough drops... Look at all this stuff on the shelves. I wouldn’t be surprised if there really are snakes in here. Unless the witnesses just have a hallucinogenic side effect from some kind of potion.
-
Remedies for the Soul and Body
Kira Woodville
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
Quiet Fun
Detective
Judging by all the tinsel and lights, this must be the place. My gut tells me Jul’s attacker is lurking nearby. Let’s enter carefully so we don’t scare him off or get caught in his net!
The boulevard looks so festive! Look at this place: a twinkling Christmas tree, a decorated carousel, bright candy figures... Everyone must have had a blast before they were captured.
-
A Fairytale Wasteland
Detective
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
Quiet Neighbors
Adeline Svensson
You’re just in time! A good journalist is always the first to know the City’s news! The first rule is observation. Let’s walk around the house to see if we spot anything unusual.
The surroundings are quiet, the house looks neat and well-maintained from the outside, and there’s not a single sound coming from inside. Look, the door is open: Looks like the residents are quite welcoming.
-
Christmas Tunes
Terry Tofficus
In honor of the Christmas concert, I’ve prepared a surprise for my fellow elves. Now they’ll be able to listen to Christmas carols whenever they want. Help me assemble my gift with your artifacts.
With your artifacts, we’ve assembled the Christmas record player! I’ll give it to my colleagues after the concert. The performances will also be recorded, so they’ll be able to listen to them later!
-
A Noisy Orchestra
Terry Tofficus
Let’s double the fun by adding some musical accompaniment! Rhythmic instruments are just what we need. The audience will love it! Could you help me find the instruments at the fair?
Peppermint humbugs, thank you! The sound of these jolly instruments will make a great background for my number. Here it is, the spirit of Christmas cheer! I’m sure they’ll ask me for an encore!
-
In Harmony
Terry Tofficus
Butterscotch! I completely forgot about a very important tool needed for my act. I’m talking about the tuning fork, of course - I can’t hit the right note without it! Please look for it in my candy store.
Thank you for finding this tinkling tuning fork! You’ve saved the audience from my off-key singing, hee-hee! Finally, my voice will be perfectly tuned and sound sweeter than freshly made caramel.
-
The Festive Starlight
Terry Tofficus
A Christmas lantern is a traditional part of each performer’s gear at this concert. Its light always accompanies us elves as we sing. I’ve already prepared one in my store. Could you get it for me?
Thank you, you’ve brought my Christmas lantern! It’s shaped like a Christmas star, which elves consider a symbol of joy and hope. The light from the lanterns will surely warm the hearts of the townspeople!
-
Cheerful Scores
Terry Tofficus
For my performance, I have chosen the most cheerful and upbeat song I’ve learned in rehearsal. Please help me find the joyful sheet music - I left it somewhere at the fair.
Thank you for your help! With this joyful sheet music, I’m sure I’ll stay on track during my performance. Plus, it’s in such handy and festive-looking folders. I know the concert will be a sweet success!
-
Stage on Rails
Terry Tofficus
I’m in charge of setting up the stage this year. An open Christmas train car will be perfect for this: all we need to do is put away the presents and set up a bench. Could you help me with that?
Sweet lollipops, thank you! Now each elf will be clearly visible during the performance. This train-car stage is just what we need for a festive concert at the fairgrounds!
-
The Christmas Issue
Terry Tofficus
Peppermint humbugs, the Christmas issue of the Hidden City Times is almost ready! Ms. Adeline is about to finish the new print run. She needs your artifacts to meet the deadline!
Caramel curls! The article turned out even better than I expected. Our readers will love the story of an elf discovering that helping others is sweeter than victory itself. It sure has a ring to it, don’t you think?
-
The Clacking of Keys
Terry Tofficus
Popping sugar! The interview’s about to start. Wish me luck! While we’re talking, could you please get Ms. Adeline’s typewriter?
Perfect timing, we’ve just wrapped up the interview. Thank you for bringing the typewriter; Ms. Adeline is ready to start writing the article. Can’t wait to read the latest issue of the Hidden City Times!
-
In a Flash
Adeline Svensson
Terry looks fantastic! Let’s take his picture! Could you help me set up the camera on the tripod? Just like my voice recorder, this camera is always by my side. And it takes stunning photos!
Thanks for your help; we’ve captured some great shots! Terry looks like the embodiment of Christmas itself, sparkling with joy and kindness. Now, let’s get on with the interview.
-
Looking Sharp
Adeline Svensson
We’re almost ready for the interview. Let’s start by taking some photos for the article. Terry’s photo will be on the front page, so we should spruce him up a bit. Could you get my makeup kit?
My makeup kit has saved me more than once before big events. It’s got everything we need to make our elf shine bright like a Christmas star! Come on, let’s get him ready.
-
A Healthy Voice
Terry Tofficus
I’m almost ready, but I need to warm up my vocal cords first. Ms. Adeline said it’s going to be a long interview - and butterscotch, I don’t want to lose my voice! Could you grab the vocal remedies from the shelf?
Thank you for the vocal remedies - these are my best new recipes! This caramel syrup with herbs will keep my voice strong, and the peppermint drops will make it sound nice and clear.
-
A Journalist’s Companion
Adeline Svensson
I’ve always wanted to interview an elf! Luckily, Terry was braver than his shy colleagues, who just blushed in silence. I’ll go find a place for the interview, and you could help me find my voice recorder.
Thank you! I don’t go anywhere without my trusty voice recorder - I feel completely helpless without it. For a journalist, it’s important to capture every word. Get Terry, we’re ready to begin.
-
A Helper in Good Deeds
Terry Tofficus
I’ve brought my tools. Let’s assemble the Book of Good Deeds! But my magic won’t be enough to activate it; we’ll need your artifacts as well. Bring them over and let’s get started!
Thank you! Peppermint humbugs, we did it! With the Book of Good Deeds, I can now help every resident in the City. And thanks to Ms. Adeline and her ad, we’ve got a whole list of people in need!
-
Teleportation Lights
Terry Tofficus
Almost everything’s ready to assemble the Book! The only thing missing is my greatest invention - the teleport map. I’ve made it to mirror every corner of the City. Can you help me get it from my store?
The lights on the teleport map are real portals! By simply touching the map, you can instantly get to wherever you need to go. Now, I’ll go get my tools. Be back in a jiffy!
-
An Observant Bookmark
Terry Tofficus
Someone’s here about my ad in the Hidden City Times! Quick, write down the guest’s request in your notebook - we’ll add it to the Book later. And please bring me my enchanted bookmark. You’ll find it in the store.
Thank you for finding my enchanted guiding bookmark! Its prism can easily locate the words and passages the owner is thinking of. Talk about Christmas magic!
-
A Vigilant Assistant
Terry Tofficus
Caramel curls! I’ve invented a special help page for my Book that notifies the owner of tasks on their agenda. I left it somewhere in my candy store. Please find it!
Thank you! The help page automatically crosses completed tasks off your list and adds new ones. It highlights tasks with a magical glow to show you when and what you need to do. It’s a real wonder!
-
Rainbow Writings
Terry Tofficus
The perfect choice for the Book of Good Deeds is rainbow ink, made from the first snow collected in a blizzard under the northern lights. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it is also useful. Could you take it off the shelf, please?
Thank you for your help! Text written in rainbow ink can change color. If the matter is urgent, the text turns red; if not, it turns green; if something can wait, but only for a while, it turns yellow. How sweet!
-
A Secret Keeper
Terry Tofficus
Santa’s lists inspired me to create the Book of Good Deeds. Every part of it is magical. For example, the book’s contents are protected by a chameleon-skin cover that opens only for its owner. Can you get the cover from the store?
This palm-shaped spot on the camouflage cover is a magical energy reader that responds only to the owner’s touch. In the hands of strangers, the book will appear as a recipe book!
-
New Priorities
Terry Tofficus
This year’s award went to the Toy Master! His creations are beautiful, and the kids love them! He’s invited me to complete his best invention. Can you lend me some artifacts for this?
Your artifacts have taken my skills to a new level. I filled the Toy Master’s invention with candies based on a special Christmas recipe! Have a sweet and merry Christmas, everyone!
-
Holiday Chaos
Detective
Listen, buddy, I’m just glad that Terry turned out to be selfish and not a scary kidnapper with a sticky net. We’ve dispelled the spell of his wish, and Caramel Boulevard is back to its pleasant Christmassy chaos.
-
A Christmas Treat
Terry Tofficus
Pear lollipops! My heart is full of gratitude. And not just for the Detective and friends, but for the whole City! I’ve prepared a special gift for the townspeople. Help me bring it over.
May every bite of this caramel cake sweeten your Christmas! I realized that my calling is to make others happy. I’m even thinking of staying in the City after the fair to help the townspeople.
-
A Hint of Autumn
Martha
One of the downsides of being a medium is that you could never surprise us. The spirits told me what gift the elf had in store for me. Let’s get the caramelized apples from Terry’s shop.
These caramelized apples remind me of fall. Terry managed to revive my best memories with this gift. I’m glad to see him bring out the best in himself, too.
-
An Original Flavor
Mistress
What a surprise! I’m being rewarded. Indeed, my contribution is hard to overestimate—the elves are back at the fair now, and I’ll finally be able to decorate my estate! Come, let’s go get my gift.
Thank you, you’ve surprised me! Such wonderful licorice dragees—an exquisite flavor for true connoisseurs. The Candy Master has truly outdone himself. Now, don’t hold me up! I’m off to get my decorations.
-
A Creamy Treat
Juliette
The Detective invited me to the caramel shop for a gift! Ah, mon ami, maybe he’ll invite me for a cup of cocoa afterward? Let’s find out. Come with me to pick up the gift!
Ah, it’s a gift from Terry! I was hoping they were from someone else. Thank you. I’m crazy about tender toffees—they just melt in your mouth! Since Terry’s no longer a contestant, let me check on him.
-
A Timeless Classic
Detective
Terry Tofficus has a gift for me. Is he trying to appease me? Hmm, but I’ve already cleared him of all charges. I’m not a sweet tooth, but let’s pick up his gift.
Oh, a jar of some excellent salted caramel! Thanks, buddy. How did Terry know that was my favorite confection? Was it your tip? Hmm, looks like he used some elven magic. Sneaky.
-
Frosty Freshness
Icy
I’m so glad we were able to disenchant the elves. They’ve brought Christmas cheer back to the fair! And Terry’s got a sweet present for me. Let’s go get it!
Thank you! These are my favorite frost peppermint candies! Nicolas and I used to eat them all the time at Christmas School. Their refreshing sweetness is unparalleled!
-
A Christmas Gift
Terry Tofficus
Peppermint humbugs! I heard a voice say, "I’m glad you’ve realized the essence of Christmas"—and a box appeared in the snow near my shop. Lend me some artifacts to open it!
Is it... a Christmas tree woven with magic? I can feel it pulsing with great power. The Christmas Spirit must’ve sent a gift for our efforts. It will help us disenchant the elves!

Festive Tunes
Terry Tofficus
The Music Master’s shop has also suffered because of my wish. Help me retrieve the musical instruments and sheet music and put them back on the shelves. It’s nothing but charcoal and soot in there now.
Thank you! These instruments will bring the sound of Christmas back to the fairgrounds. I’m overflowing with joy—helping others is even more satisfying than winning! Wait a minute... Someone’s around...

A Taste of the Holiday
Terry Tofficus
Licorice dragees! The Detective is a great cook, and he’s willing to help me cook for the Master of Christmas Dishes to fix my wish. Let’s help him prepare some snacks!
The smell of these street snacks drifts all along Caramel Boulevard. When the Cooking Master returns, he’ll have lots of things to present at the contest. Thank you! The stalls are bursting with treats!

Childhood Joys
Terry Tofficus
If we want to disenchant the elves, we need to help the Toy Master, too. Let’s go to his shop. Jul promised to help us with the toys for the children. Let’s make them together.
Sweet! Now the Toy Master will be able to compete in the contest—look at all the bright toys we’ve made for him. The kids at the fair will be delighted!
-
Christmas Entertainment
Terry Tofficus
Without the Master of Entertainment, there’s no one to run the holiday carousels. But we’ll get them back up and running and change my sour wish. First, please help me turn the rides back on.
Thank you! The merry rides can now delight fairgoers once again! Valerie has volunteered to fill in for the Master of Entertainment while he’s enchanted. We already have new visitors!
-
A Festive Mood
Terry Tofficus
Caramel curls! To undo my wish and disenchant the elves, I have to help them win the contest! Let’s start with the Master of Decorations. Can you help me make some decor for him?
My wish caused the decorations on the counter to turn to coal. Thanks to you, the Master will now be able to compete with these new Christmas decorations! Wow, helping is kind of fun!
-
The Echo of the Wish
Icy
Terry’s confession caused an anomaly to appear in the air. It’s as if a living photo appeared out of snowflakes... Is that the echo of the wish? I need some artifacts to fulfill the manifestation.
The artifacts show that Santa was upset by Terry’s wish, which absorbed his frustration and bitterness, causing the wish to transform... Things are bad. Wish magic is the hardest to crack!
-
The Power of the Northern Lights
Icy
Now I’m pretty sure we’re dealing with Santa’s magic. If that’s the case, he’s the only one who can break the spell. But for now, let’s use my strongest remedy—a staff that holds the power of the northern lights.
The power of the northern lights worked! The elves are free from their captivity! No! No! The staff’s effect reversed! That was my best idea... What do we do now?
-
Holly Dust
Icy
We can’t give up—let’s double down on our efforts! This time, we’ll test a remedy that can handle even the darkest magic. Help me scatter around some Holly powder.
Did you see that? As soon as the Holly powder touched the candy, charcoal smoke rose from it, but it was immediately absorbed back inside! Our only hope now lies in my strongest remedy.
-
A Moss Weave
Icy
Let’s try another means of restoring the elves’ original appearance. Help me wrap the candy in a moss blanket! I’ve woven a powerful reversal spell into it, so this could work.
The moss blanket reverses magical effects. Look, it worked! Quick, let’s get it off the elves! Oh, no! They’re candy again. The elves must have been enchanted with the strongest magic of Christmas!
-
Aromatic Spruce
Icy
I don’t give up after failing just once! Let’s try my spruce incense—its smoke restores the original appearance of creatures. Help me light it.
Thanks for your help with the spruce incense! The smoke briefly broke the spell, but the elves became candy again. What kind of magic is opposing us? It’s like the spell was cast by Santa himself!
-
A Magic Revealer
Icy
I arrived as soon as I could! I’ve prepared a few remedies to free the elves from their captivity. Let’s start with mistletoe ointment. Let’s apply it to the candy surface.
Mistletoe is perfect for uncovering what’s hidden. Look, the candy took the elves’ shape for a moment, but the transformation didn’t happen... That’s okay! I’ve got more remedies at my disposal!
-
The Moment of Truth
Detective
The Secret Revealer is almost ready. We need to put all the parts together—I can do that easily. But I’ll need some help with the activation. Buddy, can you lend me some artifacts?
The artifacts have activated the Secret Revealer! I’m starting the search... No way! The elves have been turned into candy figures decorating the square! Well, Terry’s not getting away with this now.
-
A Clear Gaze
Martha
The spirits will help me enchant the base of the amulet. We need this part to find the elves. I’ll write a spell to clear the gaze on it. Can you bring that satin garland from the Christmas tree?
Thank you for bringing the garland. The spell has been activated. All that’s left is to assemble all the parts of the amulet and test it. The spirits assure me that’s the Detective’s role.
-
A Sharp Mind
Mistress
Alright, I’ll collect the next part of the Secret Revealer. By the way, I’m sacrificing some of my supplies for it! I left the Nazar eye here somewhere... Well, don’t just stand there—find it!
Finally, we’ve found the Nazar eye. It will reveal what’s hidden from the ears and eyes, but it must be expertly enchanted by a cold-blooded person with a sharp mind... That would be me, of course!
-
Lion’s Courage
Detective
Buddy, I’ve been challenged to carve a lens for the amulet out of ice only with my hands. I need to do it with the first Christmas snowstorm. We should take care of it together. Care to help me?
Thanks, buddy! The Secret Revealer’s ice lens will reflect the invisible. The Mistress insisted that it had to be made by someone brave and strong. Ugh, her compliments make me uncomfortable.
-
Upbeat Music
Valerie
Jul told me everything. Let me help! That elf-detection amulet requires sonorous bells. I saw some on a sleigh decoration at a nearby house. Shall we get them together?
We’ve got the sonorous bells! Hooray! Their sound will break the spell and help us hear the unheard. Someone as merry as Christmas itself had to bring this part of the amulet—that’s me and you!
-
A Kind Heart
Juliette
The Mistress asked me to gather the first part of the Secret Revealer. For the base, I need branches of the spruce tree from the elven lands—the kind that decorates the City square! Can you help me gather them?
This spruce base will drive away evil intentions. According to the Mistress’s instructions, the branches had to be gathered for her by a good person with pure thoughts. I’m so glad we did it, mon ami!
-
Coal Magic
Martha
The spirits told me how I could uncover what happened to the elves on the boulevard. I’ll need a few chestnuts that turned to charcoal and some artifacts to help me see more clearly.
The artifacts’ glow reveals the truth—the elves are still at the fair. But the magic shrouding the masters won’t let them be seen, heard, or touched. The nature of this magic is very strong.
-
Written Mysteries
Detective
Buddy, my gut tells me that the Candy Master is involved in the disappearance of the elves. Look, he’s hiding something in the snow—a crumpled piece of paper! Let’s wait till he’s gone and take a look.
The crumpled piece of paper Terry hid is a list of contestants with their signatures and today’s date! The elves were here, but they’ve disappeared. Looks like Terry Tofficus is covering his tracks!
-
Weird Candy
Juliette
What’s going on on Caramel Boulevard? Everything I touch turns to charcoal. Could I be the problem? Mon ami, you try it—try grabbing the bags of candy.
Look, the candy in these bags turned to coal as soon as you grabbed them! So it has nothing to do with me. Oh, what a relief!\n The Detective is just rude.
-
Abandoned Helpers
Detective
I have a feeling Terry’s connected to the disappearance of the elves. He’s busy preparing for the contest—the others were doing the same just before they disappeared. Why don’t you check out that toolbox while I explain.
This toolbox was left behind. It belongs to the Master of Decorations. This elf disappeared while he was working. And there’s no trace of his footprints in the snow nearby.
