one who entertains guests
Adeline Svensson
We face the important task of showing Miss Izzy how important Christmas is to people. Help Santa's successor to truly feel the Christmas spirit. First, look for a gorgeously decorated gate. The brighter the better!
You found a great gate! Thank you! I'll use this to show Miss Izzy the first aspect of Christmas - everyone's desire to invite visitors into their homes. By sharing the festive air with our guests, we bring joy to each other.

Ruined mood
Mistress
I see that it was you who became the assistan of this fledgling Miss Izzy. This girl knows nothing about the true meaning of Christmas. She brought me a present on an unsightly sled and made a mess of my precious garden decorations! Look at you, look at you!
You see that? My handmade decorations have been cruelly broken! I spent a month making them to celebrate Christmas properly, and now they're all ruined because of this Miss Izzy's lame sledding! Please explain to this silly girl how and when she should give her presents!

New Year's Prophecy
Martha
So you are helping Miss Izzy realize her own mistakes? I saw her in my crystal ball. Santa's successor was busy and confused. Her gift to me was off the mark, too. I had it nearby, but I got distracted by the jolly genie and forgot where I put it... can you help me find the horoscope for the year?
Thanks for helping me find my horoscope. What you have in your hand is like a silly joke. You don't give something like that to a fortune teller. Besides, no one wants to get their horoscope in advance. The city's stars are always changing, so a pre-made horoscope is useless.
-
Coal on snow
Conductor
Oh, the new Santa wants to hear what you think of your gifts? Yeah, I received some really unnecessary stuff this year. I hope Miss Izzy and the others understand. I brought you a present, but I guess I got distracted talking and left it somewhere. Can you help me find my snow white gloves?
As you can see, these gloves are whiter than snow. Sure they are soft and comfortable to wear. But I work in coal dust. This glove would get dirty in an instant. So I decide to return this gift to Miss Izzy. There is still time before Christmas. There will be plenty of time to make it someone else's present.
-
interesting taste
Valerie
So you're saying Miss Izzy is the new Santa? Awesome! I really like her modern take on Christmas. But can I say one important thing, using the gifts Eddie and I received this year as an example? Anyway, look at the presents!
You know what's funny about this gift? Eddie got this meat snack, but he doesn't eat meat! And I got him ski goggles, but if he gets them long before the holiday season, he won't have a chance to use them for a while<, so the joy of the surprise is halved. The timing of the gift is important!
-
Dangerous Feathers
Juliette
Adeline tells me that you and Santa's successor are collecting feedback from people in town about their gifts. I don't know much about Santa, but I'll help! Miss Izzy gave me a fashionable handbag. Let's check it out together.
Geez! I'm sorry, you scared me! There's a big moth perched on my handbag. Sure, it's a fashionable item, but I'm just a maid and there's no place I'd go out with it. Besides, I hate bugs. I'll leave this one to my mistress. Oh, and don't tell Miss Izzy. I don't want her to be sad.
-
Miracle Powder
Adeline Svensson
I bow to Miss Izzy's hard work. As Santa, she's accomplished so much in a very short time and hasn't lost her enthusiasm. But I feel that she has overlooked some things... like this new concentrated cocoa, for example. Take a taste.
How did the concentrated cocoa taste? From the look on your face, it doesn't sound good. Miss Izzy has changed the process. The cocoa made with this powder is too sweet. I asked her why she put so much sugar in it, and she said because kids like it better. But even kids don't like this taste!
-
Voices of the Holidays
Miss Izzy
I was trying to figure out how to get the gifts delivered faster and I ran into one problem. Without the elves I sent out on vacation, there was a good chance I wouldn't be able to deliver all the gifts. So I changed one thing! I think there was a Christmas loudspeaker around here somewhere, can you help me find it?
Thanks for looking for the loudspeaker! In order to get everything done on time, I've decided to only deliver the big, expensive gifts in person so that everyone else can pick up their gifts here at the department store. The loudspeaker is needed to keep the line in order when the line gets too big.
-
blank (unwritten) greeting
Miss Izzy
I was so happy when I was appointed as Santa. Because there is so much room to try new ideas and innovations! My principle is "cut where you can cut. First of all, it's about manual labor. Can you pass me that blank postcard? I'll show you something good.
Nice postcards, right? But there are so many problems with postcards! Santa has to write each letter by hand, which is very time consuming. So we decided to replace them with versatile postcards that are pre-written, with only the name field left blank. See, I can write so much faster!
-
fire and ice
Adeline Svensson
Looks like Miss Izzy is working hard to perfect her job as our new Santa. Her sleigh isn't being pulled by magic reindeer anymore, but it's flying faster than the wind! How does that work? Help me find Miss Izzy's sled. I want to see it with my own eyes!
You found the sled! Well, well, well... Miss Izzy must have replaced the reindeer with a magic engine. That's how they deliver presents so fast. The engine looks Christmassy, and instead of smoke, it spews out sparkles like fireworks... but that doesn't make up for the lack of reindeer. Doesn't it?
-
Right direction
Miss Izzy
When I took over Santa's job, I first looked into how my predecessors did things and then thought of ways to improve upon them. The thing that bothered me the most was the manual sorting of gifts. So, in order to optimize that process, I built this machine called the distributor. Here, take a look.
My distributor carefully examines each gift to determine who needs that gift the most. This way, he said, I wouldn't get gifts I didn't need! Then I let the elves out of work and sent them on vacation. They all tried to say no, but I pushed through.
-
The Essence of Magic
Adeline Svensson
I need lots of eye-catching photos to use for the article. Santa's successor is a powerful winter wizard, so she must have a special artifact, a winter magic catalyst. Can you help me convince Miss Izzy to show me the magic catalyst?
What a beautiful catalyst! We are so lucky to have Miss Izzy to show us. Just be careful not to touch it with your bare hands! I heard from a professor at the Christmas school that only the owner can touch these artifacts, and if anyone else touches them, they get frostbite.
-
Meticulous craftsmanship
Miss Izzy
Why did Santa choose me? That's easy. The rules forbid me to tell you why, but I'm sure it was because of my academic success! For my special achievement, I even received a grouse brooch. I still have it. Take a look and I'll tell you what it means.
I'm so proud of this brooch. I really should hang it up, but I still want to wear it. It is a special award I received at Christmas school. The Hata Ori Dollar is a symbol of hard work. That's why it's only made for the valedictorian. And that representative is me.
-
Layers upon layers.
Miss Izzy
I know an interview would be something to brag about, but I'm going to be honest with you. Do you think I make mistakes? Yes, I do make mistakes, but really only occasionally. For example, the look of the present. I can't do everything perfectly at the moment, so I have spare wrapping. There you go.
I keep a spare package of presents in case one of the wrappings comes off. I have to make sure that Santa's gifts are delivered in perfect condition, no matter what, so I always have them ready to go in case of a mistake.
-
New Taste
Adeline Svensson
Miss Izzy is very concerned about the time. Have you noticed how she keeps glancing at her watch? And she has lots of ideas. For example, she's come up with a new stick that's smaller and tastes better than ever. Here, I've got two right here, want to taste them?
I didn't expect it to be this sour! Well, the tag says "lime". But it doesn't taste like Christmas. I'll have to tell the new Santa to pay more attention to the recipe. But don't be harsh. Everyone makes mistakes.
-
Reproduction of artisan
Miss Izzy
The cardboard reindeer are the centerpiece of this place, which may sound far-fetched, so let me explain. You can pick out any pair of reindeer you want. There are about 100 of them on the premises of this department store. It looks simple, but it's very effective, and I'll tell you why.
The pair you chose is the handsomest reindeer. Let's take a picture! Unlike live reindeer, cardboard reindeer don't need to feed or sleep. Plus, people in town won't have to wait in line to get their Christmas pictures taken! I'm sure everyone will appreciate this idea.
-
Samurai Tales
Adeline Svensson
I don't get it. Shouldn't a Christmas department store be a holiday paradise? Where you can feed the reindeer, ride the slides, and warm up with a cup of hot cocoa? Who would want to get lost on the conveyor rail? I think that's the manager's office. Maybe Miss Izzy is waiting for us inside?
We finally arrived! Look at all the gadgets and buttons! It looks like you could set up a merry-go-round or an arcade game just by touching them. But that won't make it any more fun. That woman doesn't even try to make it look like Christmas. I'll ask her to make the place more enjoyable!
-
scrubbing and washing
Adeline Svensson
This time I followed the card scammer's every move to find out what dangerous things he was up to. The card scammer is not a walker, but he walked to the banks of the River of Oblivion, put something in his bucket, and came back humming a tune. Did you see where he put the bucket?
Yes, that's the bucket the credit card scammers took to the river of oblivion. Be careful. He may have baited and caught an aquatic monster. What, the bucket only contains water from the river? If so, why would the card cheater need something like this?
-
Hot Topics
Adeline Svensson
I'm pretty sure the credit card scammer is up to something shady, but I can't find any direct leads. I did spot him taking a bulb of garlic to the suburbs. The garlic was fogged overnight and then retrieved by the card scammer in the morning. Let's check it out.
Wow, the fog has completely changed the shape of the garlic! Look, it's blackish and doesn't even smell good. I'm not a vampire, but I wouldn't try it. And I don't think even the monsters in town would be attracted to this garlic bait. I wonder if the card cheaters have decided to summon a new beast?
-
vanishing sweetness
Adeline Svensson
I saw a card scammer with some ghost sugar. It's something you can make from sugar cane along the canals in town. It doesn't taste good to humans, but the miner trades ghost sugar for rare artifacts. Bring me some and I'll see what I can trade for it.
I'm so glad you got Ghost Sugar. It's not sweet, but it's very pretty. The miner didn't want this sugar, but the gargoyle almost took it from him. Maybe the card cheater is making bait to catch the monster... I doubt he would admit to such a thing unless he was caught red-handed.
-
Underground greenery
Adeline Svensson
I also saw a card scammer come out of the dungeon. Very suspicious! Then he went to the harvest festival with a jar of something green. He didn't have it when he left, so that means he's hiding it somewhere. Let's find out what it is!
This investigation would not be possible without your help! The jar of herbs you found was in the possession of the card scammer. The grocer said it was rosemary, but it's not regular rosemary. This is a variety that only grows in the shade. I'm sure he got it from the dungeon. The card cheater must have needed it to make some kind of potion.
-
Secret Fruits
Adeline Svensson
The card cheater is obviously up to something dangerous. We spotted him heading to a harvest festival in the middle of the night. Seems like odd behavior, don't you think? I tried following him yesterday, but I lost him in the dark. But he dropped something. I think it was an apple. Can you go find it?
It really was an apple! Thanks for finding it. What's so funny? It's shaped a bit like a butterfly in the night, but... oh! I remember now. This is a night apple. One of the rare fruits sold at the festival. Night apples grow on the border of fog. Don't eat them.
-
What eats pumpkin
Detective
The guy from Dub Deal, don't you think he's awfully keen on finding monsters? He said he saw a carnivorous plant eating a pumpkin. I haven't found anything to corroborate that testimony yet, but let's find out what kind of carnivorous plant it is.
Look, it really is a carnivorous plant! Watch your hands. They can bite...what, just a pumpkin in the shape of a turban? Hmmm, sure, it's shaped like a turban when you flip it over. But Double Deal says we should exclude this pumpkin from the contest and examine it carefully.
-
Rough surface variety
Roger Doubledeal
Have you found any more monsters mixed in with the pumpkins? I did find one strange one. It is a rough-skinned creature, like a sea monster. If I were in your shoes, I would find out what it is. You are responsible for the safety of the people of this city. Find that sea monster.
So you found a sea monster! It may be a pumpkin, but it should be worth checking out for magic. I've heard that some monsters are good at mimicking non-living things. 'Did you bring this from the odd vegetable contest? I see. Safety first, you know.
-
hide and deceive
Detective
You can never be too careful. If the pumpkins look like monsters, then actual monsters could be mixed in there and even attack citizens during the festival. There is something lurking in the pumpkin. A snake or a bird of prey? Let's catch the monster.
What did you catch? A monster or another pumpkin? Hmmm... this one's a Tsurukubi pumpkin. It looks like a hideous monster with eyes that are plotting something, like it's mocking us. It must be a rare vegetable, but let's leave it out of our investigation until we get the full picture.
-
Vigilant Citizens.
Roger Doubledeal
I hear you are looking for a monster hidden in a pumpkin. No, I have a good intuition and I had a feeling that you were. Let me give you some information. I saw a scary goblin peeking out from behind a pumpkin. Look for them. Such a good tracker, I don't think the goblin will be able to get away with it.
Yes, this is the head of the dreaded goblin that was mixed in with the vegetables. What, is it some kind of pumpkin called Warty Beauty? Well, okay. My job is to warn you. I'm glad I was able to get there in time. It could have been a real goblin.
-
Capture and neutralization
Detective
We have a particularly good harvest this year. There are a lot of unusual vegetables on display at the festival here. I've never seen anything like this before, but watch out for the pumpkins. There could be monsters hiding inside. Look, that one is barely even hidden. See that green alligator? We're going to catch it!
All right, I got the alligator! Did it bite you? What's that, it's a pumpkin! Well, it's definitely just a vegetable. It looks very strange, but I'm pretty sure it's not a monster. It's a blue hubbard, a kind of pumpkin, apparently. They say it's well rooted in the city. Oh well, we'll keep an eye on it.
-
hot reaction
Mistress
Juliette made me a pot of tea using her new teapot. The tea wasn't bad, but when I tried to scold her I got choked up. Twice. I got so fed up with the boring magical prank that I broke the teapot. But Juliet told me they sell such pots at festivals. Bring me one. I'll check it out.
I'm sure it was this brightly colored teapot that the "Mere Old Man" broke. Even the sensation of a graze in the throat is the same. I'm going to find out what kind of magic is in this teapot. ...Surprisingly, there is no magic in this teapot. There is only the earthly energy of the clay and the enthusiasm of the potter. Another joy of creativity. I'm sick of it!
-
bountiful harvest
Mistress
Positive magic is everywhere. It's a good scheme, no doubt. Even Juliette is feeling better these days...and it's annoying. She's praising the vegetables, telling them how delicious they are. It's not like Juliette. Bring me the vegetables you got at the harvest festival. I'll see if they've been drugged.
Don't bring those vegetables too close to me. I can see they're full of the sun's energy and it's not good for my skin. It's funny... all we have is nature's magic. The Autumn Goddess is a nature magician, so she's still a suspect.
-
Fluffy and comfortable
Mistress
Juliette didn't have time to sew, but I found a pumpkin-shaped cushion on her armchair. It must have been magic because it was so soft and comfortable. I couldn't stand it, so I threw it out the window. The gargoyle took the cushion, but the pumpkin cushion might be a clue. Can you go get it back for me?
I'm pretty sure I found this pumpkin cushion on the armchair. Did you get it back from the gargoyle? What, do they have these cushions at fall festivals? So silly Juliette was seduced by this magic at the festival. I'll check out the magic then... oh dear... it's the joy of creativity!
-
The Goddess Conspiracy
Mistress
I love flowers. Surprised? Not really. Flowers give me energy. The problem now is that flowers have so much energy that I'm allergic to them. Maybe it's magic. Go find some fall flowers. Juliette is getting a lot of flowers from somewhere.
You're right! You look just like the flowers that annoy me. Can you sense the positive energy that comes from this flower? Let's take a look at the source of that energy. Oh... just sun and rain, that's nature's magic. Is my enemy the Goddess of Autumn?
-
Morning Singing
Mistress
There is no doubt that someone is up to something bad with me. There's been a bird chirping uncomfortably at my window all day. I've had a terrible headache. Make sure that little rascal is enchanted.
The bird that has been squawking noisily at me all day is surely Ts" This is her, isn't it? Let me see. Don't worry, if it's not magic, it won't hurt you. Well, it's not magical. No wonder he's so healthy and full of energy. It's just so obnoxious.
-
healthy signal
Inspector
Navigating the magical maze with portals is like swimming in an endless ocean. I'm thinking of building a signal because lost people need a signal to get home safely. To do that, I need cider and stepladders. Can you help me find them?
Yes, that's it! Now if we put the Ipple cider on this sturdy stepladder, it should look like a signal. People in town wouldn't miss this. And by no means is it because the scent is enhanced by the magic of the Goddess of Autumn!
-
get one's teeth into (metaphorically)
Adeline Svensson
Crows flock to the maze to eat the fresh corn. Sprinkled with magic and baked to a golden brown, the corn attracts them. I tied it to a fishing pole and held it up high for all to see. Do you see the markers on the corn I made?
Okay, it looks like you found the corn marker right away. I'm sure the others won't miss it either. I'll leave it at the most important fork in the maze. That way, my friends will be sure to make their way to the exit. Oh, I can't wait for them to come back. I'm getting very hungry!
-
Arrows baked to a golden brown
Huntress
I love baked potatoes so much that even if they weren't magical, I'd still be curious. I know I'm not the only one, so I made an arrow out of a slice of baked potato to point the way out of the maze. Hey, see the arrow?
With these baked potato arrows, people in the city can easily find their way out of the maze. But I'm worried that the crows flying in the sky might steal it because it looks so delicious and drool-worthy. I've got some gargoyle repellent on me, so I'll see if it works on crows.
-
Delicious Markings
Juliette
The Autumn Goddess made me a wonderful cranberry sauce. It smells so good and looks delicious! If we mark the way to the exit with a sauce boat full of this sauce, people in town will be able to get here in no time. What do you think? Good idea. Now help me find more cranberry sauce.
Thanks for delivering the cranberry sauce. I'll use this to mark my friends' return as soon as I can. Oh my, this sauce really is delicious. Thank goodness the Autumn Goddess made so much of it. There will be enough for Thanksgiving dinner when we all get together.
-
With a golden brown grill.
Adeline Svensson
The dark magic is gone from the corn maze, but the maze itself is challenging. To make it easier for the townspeople to find their way out, use the Thanksgiving feast as a guide. I made one out of a roasted turkey. Can you make sure I can see it properly from a distance?
If you were able to find the signposts to the delicious-looking turkey, that means it worked. The Autumn Goddess has put plenty of magic in the roast, so we should be able to get the attention of all the missing people and give them the quickest way home. Can't wait to see them again!
-
friendship
Juliette
I'm worried about the people missing in the maze. Because they are my friends. I'm so grateful to the city for having met such wonderful people. They are all very kind people. Especially the detective. He recently gave me a cute hug ring. I wonder where he took it? Have you seen him?
Thanks for finding the hug ring. It makes me so grateful to the city for letting me meet my friends in this place. Maybe if we can gather this much gratitude, we can erase the negative energy of the dark magic stored in the maze. Give me back my friends!
-
power of love
Lady
Mysterious cities have their challenges, but so do all places, don't they? Besides, challenges also open doors of possibility for us. I am forever grateful that I met my beloved gatekeeper here and that spring blessed our union. Look at the cherries ripening in my garden.
These heart-shaped cherries look and taste amazing. And it's all because my garden is protected by nature's fairies for no other reason. Please pray that the strength of my love for the gatekeeper and I will remove the negative energy of the corn maze and open a way out for the lost souls.
-
A delightful anomaly
Isabelle
I want to clear the negative energy out of this maze, and I'm grateful to the City of Shadows for giving me the opportunity to research some unusual anomalies. My dream is to one day encounter a delightful anomaly. Funny, sun-drenched...what's that shining thing over there? Is that a sun bunny? Help me catch it!
The sun rabbit is very nimble, but you caught it well. Now we can figure out how this anomaly works. I see, it makes the clouds go away. Just what we need in the city, I'll try to create a summoning item that will activate the sun bunny on a cloudy day.
-
Phantom rapture
Martha
If we can unravel the negative energy of the people of the city and replace it with the positive energy of sincere gratitude, we can get them out of the maze. I am so grateful to the city for their magical help with a difficult problem. I think I see a smile through the fog! See, what I see now is just an illusion?
You saw the fog smiling on you, too. That means our way is the right way. My gratitude was accepted. And it was the first step in getting my friends out of the maze. This smile makes me feel warm and friendly. I haven't seen a smile like this in a long time.
-
Lured into a cage
Huntress
My story is almost over, so I hope I can find a way to save those who haven't returned from the maze yet. I used the branches to weave a trap to catch the birds. It worked. After all, I had known how to make traps since I was a kid. I left the turkey trap in the maze, but I'm sure you'll find it soon.
My traps seem to work pretty well, don't they? I put in the ripest, most delicious berries I could find. The turkeys were irresistible, and one of them was caught right away. It was a little tricky, but the hunt was successful, I guess.
-
Feast of the forest
Huntress
I wanted to go back to the City of Shadows, chasing turkeys. After all, I grew up there. I found nuts and berries in the woods, ate them, shared them with friends...but there was no one around. Still, I picked some up and brought them with me. Go ahead, try some.
Delicious? As I feasted on nature's feast like that, I became convinced that I was in a real forest, not a corn maze. Then I changed tactics and continued hunting. Wild turkeys love berries, so I decided to use them as bait to catch them.
-
Secret Hunting
Huntress
I'm not sure what helped you escape the maze, so I'll detail everything. It's hard to get close enough to a turkey to shoot an arrow. Turkeys are more cautious than gargoyles. So I decided to camouflage myself with leaves to keep a low profile. Did you see any of the floral ornaments I used for camouflage?
Yes, this is the camouflage floral ornament I made from fallen leaves. I thought wearing it would help me blend in with the natural greenery, but the turkeys hadn't let their guard down yet. For the record, it's much easier to get rid of ghosts! I'm good at dealing with monsters, but I guess I forgot how to hunt.
-
Rustic Weapons
Huntress
At first I thought the forest was an illusion hiding a way out of the maze, but it looked real. As time went on, I got hungry and decided to hunt a turkey. The tracks I found belonged to that turkey. I made a bow and arrows, but I left them near the maze. Can you go find them?
I used this bow and arrow to hunt turkeys. The weapons I carry with me only work on monsters, not regular animals. So I had to make a simple bow and arrow with what I had on hand.
-
Around the corner.
Huntress
It was nice to be back in town and see everyone, the maze wasn't easy at all. Of course, I'll tell you how I got out. I didn't see any monsters. All I saw were turkey tracks. They're still there. If you look carefully, you should be able to find them soon.
Yeah, those are wild turkey tracks. How did they end up in the maze? That's part of what I wanted to know. I followed the footprints and "I turned a corner and got pulled into a portal and found myself in the woods. When was that? It's hard to say. I didn't see any people, but I also didn't notice any dinosaurs.
-
strange noise
Adeline Svensson
Perhaps the corn maze is haunted by an evil spirit. Could it be that it took on the form of a monster to create the illusion that it was the victim? That would explain the search going awry and the detective's note. I also hear what sounds like whispering. Maybe an evil spirit is whispering. Let's check it out. Be careful.
Thanks for figuring out that the whispers are coming from the farmer's windmill. I guess it's the rustling sound of the windmill blades as they rotate. That's what I suspected. So it couldn't have been an evil spirit. But then what about the monster the detective saw?
-
The quieter the river, the deeper
Inspector
The monster the detective encountered was huge. If it was a monster magically created by Cthulhu? The monster is said to have lived in the labyrinth of Atlantis. Yes, it must live under water. Just now we heard the sound of splashing water. Is there a pond around here?
As I said. Sure, there was a hidden watering hole in the maze! But not the abode of Cthulhu, I'm afraid. I checked it out, and this is no magical pond. It's just a barrel full of rainwater where little birds bathe. But I am relieved to know that my friends are not trapped by that sea monster.
-
deep scratch
Adeline Svensson
We're looking for the home of the monster that took our friends in the maze. And now I find the footprints of a monster with big claws. Probably a giant crocodile. According to our investigator, such a monster used to live in the Egyptian maze. Let's look for the clawed foot, the master of these footprints.
Yeah, it sure looks like this wooden rake is a foot with a claw. Wait a minute, let me try... no doubt. The marks I found were caused by a rake. It was simply used to plow the ground. That's frustrating. It's not the monsters I want to see, it's the missing people.
-
killing
Cardsharp
Listen, Red Cause Cafe is a haven for the playful and the passionate. If you live here, you have to play the slot machines and win at least once... well, the Crystal slot machine, for example. Excuse me? You already have one? Then it's easy enough to win again!
You won, great! Now hand over your winnings. Yes, all of it! Why are we giving it to you? What's it for? Come on, you want to rent a room at the Red Rose Cafe...? I lose. There are no rooms available at the cafe. I was bluffing!
-
In the path of the snake.
Inspector
If we are to find our friends, we should look for the roost of the serpent that lived in the ancient Celtic labyrinth that was in Avalon. I saw traces on the ground and thought they might be the tracks the serpent had passed through. The tracks lead all the way to a large bag of corn. Let's find out what was there.
Behind the sack of corn, there is no sign of the monster or entrance to its roost. Upon closer inspection, the grooves that looked like snake tracks were apparently created by dragging this heavy sack of corn all the way here. In other words, the monster the detective encountered in the maze was not a snake.
-
Horn Threat
Inspector
What kind of monster did the detective encounter? Maybe it was a minotaur - a beastman with the head of a bull. The Minotaur may have lived in the labyrinth of Crete and was brought here by magic. The corn stalks are scarred as if the Minotaur had scratched them with its horns. Let's find out who damaged the corn.
Did you find the corn scratch? Ah, a crow! Well, you can certainly see that this big bird ate the corn cobs and the weight of the corn has broken the tips of the stalks. But the detective would not call a crow a monster. We have to look for another possibility.
-
Changed amulets
Adeline Svensson
We still haven't found anyone in town who went missing in the corn maze. Their footprints have been lost and we don't know where they were headed. But I did find some berries mixed in with the corn. I was surprised! I wanted to retrieve them, but they were chained up. Could you check them out?
You're right, indeed, this chain looks exactly like a card scammer's good luck charm. It's really supposed to be a card connected to it, not a berry. This accessory is not a simple artifact. It could be enchanted. We may need Martha's help to figure out the mystery.
-
Signal light
Juliette
I can't wait to find those missing people and get the hell away from this creepy place and celebrate. It's getting darker and darker. Oh, I see a light up ahead! It looks like a lantern light. The guide said, "Do you think it belongs to someone? Let's go and check it out.
The guides always carry lanterns like this. I wonder if he's around here? Unfortunately, I don't see anyone around. I took a closer look and found that this lantern is a little strange. There seems to be a glowing acorn in it. What's going on in this maze?
-
Dangerous Beauty
Mayor
Apparently, those who went missing were making crafts with natural materials, so it's not surprising that it took this long. But there is no such contest being held for a holiday event, and it does seem odd behavior. I also picked up something that looked like a weapon. Here it is, take a look.
Indeed, these shurikens are strange. But a woman hunter once drove off a gargoyle that attacked me with such a shuriken. It was made of metal, though. She said she made the blade perfect to fight the monster. This shuriken looks like a fallen leaf in autumn, but it is definitely hers.
-
wood carving
Adeline Svensson
I'm not an expert at tracking, but I could easily find the footprints of a townsperson in the maze. They left footprints on the muddy ground. Hurry, we should be able to catch up soon! Hmmm, the footprints have suddenly broken off. We have to look for other tracks, like broken stems or branches. Look around.
You found a broken branch. This is another clue. It looks a lot like the key that Valerie had around her neck. It even has her ferret's teeth marks on it. Wait, why is there a twig in the corn maze? The questions just keep getting deeper and deeper. To get answers to these questions, let's first find the missing people.

Mayor's Neighborhood
Detective
Buddy, it's dangerous to be the mayor's neighbor. I don't mean that in a "bad" way. He's a great guy. But if I were you, I'd think twice before having a 100 year old ghost as a neighbor. All right, if you want to take a look around, I'll go with you. Let's go.
As I said before, City Hall is a treasure trove of secrets and traps! Our ghost mayor doesn't seem to care, but we don't. You need a normal house. A house like that mansion. They say there are almost 150 empty rooms there!

Mark of Tengutake
Mayor
It is strange that the people of the city cannot get out of the corn maze. They look at me with suspicion, as if I have maliciously lured them in, but if they follow my footprints, they will soon find the missing person. Look, there's something shiny over there. It might be a detective's badge.
Surely this is a metal badge like the one the detective wore. Hm? Why is there a mushroom on it? Apparently, the situation is more complicated than we thought. This looks very similar to the detective's badge, but with a different design on it. What does it mean? We need to find out if this is a clue to the detective.

Doubtful Vegetables
Adeline Svensson
There is no sense of evil in this place, but the townspeople are trapped in a maze of cornfields and somehow they are not responding to our calls. We suspect a kidnapping, so we've started to interview them. We're looking for clues, and your observational skills are reassuring. Let's look into it together.
Did you see anything suspicious? Well, there were some fall decorations, some fruit, and some vegetables, but nothing to indicate that the missing person case was a setup. But I don't believe that people in town simply got lost in the maze. There must be something we're missing. I'll have to check again.

Wrapping for confectionery
Valerie
Juliette told me that the detective has a sweet tooth, so I bought him a bunch of snacks. I'm going to stuff them in Santa's pants. I bet he's never had candy in those before! Now, find me some pants!
This is a Santa costume for a party. That'll do. Thanks for looking! Do you think this will be enough to fill my pants with candy?

Horrible Fables
Bartholomew
I recall that Mrs. Holland was a big fan of fables. For example, a story about a little girl and her evil stepmother who tries to poison her. But the story had a happy ending. The baroness often used fake medicine bottles for Halloween decorations.
I thought there were no more feelings left in my heart, but as I decorated the mansion, I began to feel warm and fuzzy. I began to remember many things. I could even recall things like the fake medicine bottle that the madam had used as a fireplace decoration.
-
run through the night sky
Bartholomew
During Halloween, the mansion used to be as sparkling as it was. The mansion must be decorated as it was back then. Then I would be able to remember something important. The baroness had hung many flower crowns in the shape of something ..... Which one was it, I think it was a velvet bat. Let's look for fluttering flower crowns.
The fact that I found the fluttering flower crown means that my memory was correct. The magic of Halloween is slowly lifting the evil curse that was placed on that mistress. Hopefully by the time the mansion is decorated, I will be able to remember a lot more. I'll hang up the flower crown. Perhaps there will be more to remember.
-
A Time of Hardship
Mayor
The collectors came at a time when the city was in the midst of distress. The city was split in half by an earthquake, and communications were down... The seismograph records show just how serious a disaster it was.
This is an important record of history that has been carefully preserved. You see, the strength of the earthquake is recorded as "8". That was a very powerful earthquake! The collectors helped the city recover from the aftermath of the quake.
-
Fascinating Decorations
Bartholomew
I am in the process of collecting the decorations that Baroness Le Verrier used to use to decorate her mansion on Halloween. As I began to collect, my memory became clearer and clearer, and I was able to recall that Madame used to keep a fake witch's cauldron at the front entrance. Have you seen anything like that?
The witch's cauldron with glittering balls in place of the well-found pill bottles certainly matches my memories exactly. Much of my memory has been lost. All because of a real witch who called herself the mistress. I had no idea that the wicked witch really existed!
-
Family Traditions
Bartholomew
The baroness was a big Halloween fan and decorated the house with a combination of her grandmother's and her own new decorations. She had hung a gold-colored snake wreath on the door, and somehow managed to recall every detail of it. I need your help to find it.
Thanks for finding the golden snake wreath. This is part of the Baroness's estate and was intended to be given to her sons. .... I shall hang this on the door of the mansion. It must look as it did when the good lady was still alive.
-
Luxurious darkness
Bartholomew
I want to decorate the mansion as Baroness Le Verrier did when she was once happy. For me, Halloween is a glamorous occasion, and for Juliette, a chance to rest. I remember when Madame made a glamorous Halloween bouquet. I made something similar. Please take a look.
This spooky bouquet is a likeness of the one Mrs. Holland used to make for Halloween. Of course, I do not have the same delicate sensibilities as Madame. But I tried to reproduce her bouquet from memory. If she liked it, I would make a few more and display them in her room at the mansion.
-
First Project
Mayor
Indeed, I was mayor of this city before the collector arrived. He arrived before the "distortion" happened. He was a talented young man with big ambitions and didn't look like the type who would be involved in crime. He showed up with a diploma, letters of recommendation, and several more projects. He may still be around here...look for him.
From this sketch, you can see that the collector liked to build various devices from a young age. That in itself is not a crime.

Winter Vacation
Martha
Plants, like all other living things, need rest. The spirit of hibernation helps plants survive the cold and emerge again in the spring.
Did you find the spirit of hibernation? Was he sleeping in a quiet corner? That's so like him...
-
Flowers and Fruits
Martha
Without the fruit spirit, not even the tiniest bud can appear... much less a flower or fruit.
You've found the fruit nymph. And look, the trees are starting to blossom. Keep up the good work.

bestowed upon the nobleman
Shaad
We often hear that the mistress is a witch. Is she proud of it? Let's give her something that will elevate her status as a witch. Then I will have achieved my goal and obtained an invitation to the mansion. The altar of the goddess Isis is perfect for that. Please help me find it. I will explain my intentions later.
Excellent! You have found the altar of Isis. According to the vampire elders, this goddess is especially famous for her magic. Since the altar invokes a spiritual image of the goddess, not Isis herself, it does not enhance the mistress's magical powers. Still, it is impressive.
-
Gift of the Goddess
Shaad
Did you know that the Mistress is concocting a magic potion and I must be invited to her. For that purpose, I have prepared this alabaster chalice. It was purified in the temple of the goddess Hathor. With it, you can give the medicine a magic power with special potency. Please bring the chalice from your desk.
Thank you very much. This is the chalice of Hathor that I present to the mistress. The potion made with this chalice will be truly wonderful, but a little intoxicating. Hathor, the Egyptian goddess, likes to tease. But when the mistress finds out about it, I will have already obtained the invitation.
-
Generous capacity gift box
Valerie
It's always fun to come up with a gift that will surprise the recipient. This year, I'm going to go all out and come up with the most unique and awesome ways to wrap gifts. Maybe we can share our ideas with others. I'm thinking of putting Juliette's gift in a pot. Can you help me find just the right one?
I've been looking for a red pot like this! There's plenty of room for all my stuff... I'm going to put the presents inside, put the lid on and decorate it with green ribbons. Juliette will be very surprised!
-
Hospitality Clock
Lady
He had the most accurate clock in town. Even the Spring Spirits would have been happy to use it. I wish I had it so I could lend it to Martha. But it's gone. Please bring it back.
Yes, this is the "table clock" from the "mansion." It is enchanted to tell the exact time in this city. Now, give this to the psychic. Now she can create the celestial sphere.
-
Astral Echoes
Cardsharp
There's a harmony to the time that flows in the celestial astral sphere. Like music. The clock we should be looking for...hmmm, something like the golden "gramophone clock". Bring it to me. But here's the deal. Martha will use the energy for that celestial sphere, and I will take the golden part.
Will this golden "gramophone clock" soon be mine? I will give it to Martha first. Let her use it as much as she needs for the ritual. The rest is mine.
-
Reality Time
Valerie
Are you asking me if I miss time in the human world? Not at all! I'm already old over there... just a couple of years. Look at the bicycle clock. It's from the real world. Let's go get it and give it to Martha. With it, Martha can build a celestial sphere.
This "bicycle clock" looks just like the one I had in my room when I was in Boston. It will help you make a "clock ball". Give this to Martha.
-
morning dew
Martha
All living things need water. It is the basis of life. Find the spirit of the morning dew. Its power is essential for plants.
Did you find it? Now the plants will not suffer from thirst. Wow. The spirit of the morning dew protects the fragile seedlings.
-
Theater Manager
Mayor
I see that Martha is trying to protect the people of the city from the hands of Mr. N, the theater of delights director and madman. His power to take a person's personality and turn them into a puppet is too powerful. Go find the Bacchus stick, the symbol of his power.
A statue like this of Dionysos holding a walking stick used to hang in my old office. The stick is called Thyrsos, and its head is decorated with pine cones, an ingredient in the famous Greek wine.
-
The Divine Goblet.
Conductor
The Greeks had the same god for theater and alcohol! How do I know that? Look how many Bacchuses are on wine labels! Let's find his goblet and kick the director...in the ear.
Adeline said this isn't a goblet at all, it's more like a cantaloupe from ancient Greece. Let's have Martha hold the container and make a mask of Bacchus to catch the director!
-
Dangerous Gifts
Shaad
In the basement of the mansion there is something very important for vampires. We must go there, but to do so, we need to be invited by the mistress. Do you know if she is fond of necromancy? If so, I am sure she would appreciate the Anubis amulet. The amulet should be around here somewhere.
This amulet can open the door to the world of the dead, so handle it with care. However, it is only for a brief moment, when the stars are in a specific position. It is very difficult to calculate and I have never succeeded. However, I will not mention these details when I give it to my mistress.
-
Daring Dances
Juliette
I read that wherever Bacchus was headed, there was always fun! Quite the opposite of a monster who kills people on stage! Go find me the tambourine of the Priestess Minus Dionysus. We must put an end to that man's tyranny.
Minus was a playful priestess of Bacchus who fell into ecstasy with her tambourine during the festivities and dances. I wish I could be that relaxed.
-
Time for Souls
Alex
When I went to the world where the spirits of the dead live, I had an "octopus clock". I had an "octopus clock" when I went to the world of the dead. So I threw it away. Now all I have to do is find it. Martha could use it to make a "clock ball.
Yeah, this is the "octopus watch" I had. Oh, I remember... give this to Martha. It's just too hard for me. If she makes a clock ball, she won't be late for tea.
-
Golden Gifts
Shaad
You should understand humans better than I, a vampire. I would like you to help me find a gift for the mistress so that she will invite me to her mansion. Is the mistress obsessed with her own beauty? I found Cleopatra's cosmetics somewhere. Let's find it.
There is no doubt about it. That is Cleopatra's Cosmetics. At least, that is what the vampires call this golden magic powder. Apply this powder and you will instantly become beautiful. The effect is temporary, but the only way for the mistress to know is to invite me.
-
Lunar Road
Juliette
Dear friends, there is a beautiful moon over the city! The "spirits of the moonlight" are about to pledge their allegiance to the new Queen Salem. Why don't you find an amulet that embodies that oath?
The amulet created by the Spirit of Moonlight shines gently and powerfully. The Moonstone is perfect for Salem. With it, she will never be lost in the darkness again.
-
flying magic
Isabelle
The shadows flying quietly in the autumn wind are said to be the "spirits of twilight flight. They too would like to present Queen Salem with a symbol of their blessing. Look for them.
You found an amulet of "transparent pars". This is the symbol of the Twilight Spirit of Flight. With it, Salem can fly with grace. Faster than the bats.
-
Night vision
Jack
The "Witch's Eye Spirits" must have left a token in the City of Shadows to bless the new Queen Salem. Without it, the coronation will not be complete! Find that thing, and hurry.
Excellent, my human friends! You have found the amulet of the Witch's Eye Spirits. With the Cat's Eye Stone, Salem will be able to see into the darkness of Halloween. Far more than the humans.
-
unexplored trail
Helen
The spirits of the Secret Path have embodied the blessings of Salem in the form of amulets. But where do we find them? Look to the stars in the sky, and let the stars guide us. We must look for the amulets of the spirits!
You found the amulets of the "Spirit of Secret Paths"! The milky agate is the symbol of the Milky Way. It is also the symbol of the star-lit, unmapped path.
-
Cool antiques
Shaad
I intend to visit the mansion, but in order for a vampire to enter someone's home, he must be invited by the owner. This is a magical rule that never changes. I believe that if I present a lavish gift, the mistress will invite me to the next ball. We have prepared an unusual fan to give to her. Please take a look.
It must be a very beautiful fan. It is even enchanted to send a cool breeze. Did you read on the fan that it belonged to Queen Nefertiti? Even more wonderful. I know that the mistress is interested in Egyptian artifacts, so I am sure she will be happy to receive this fan.
-
very delicious
Priestess Miu
I can't find one more kitten, a dune kitten. This kitten loves the holidays, because during the festivals she gets lots of treats as an offering to the goddess. She loves the holidays, because during the festivals, she gets a lot of treats as an offering to the goddess. Look near where the treats are placed. Help us find Fluffy's sweet tooth.
Yes, this is the girl! Thank you so much for your help. Thank goodness this dune kitten is a big candy lover. Otherwise, she would have disappeared somewhere in the fog. This kitty loves to explore and is fearless and tireless. I will send her back to the Goddess. Now she will finally be at peace.
-
Festival catch
Salem
Miu asked me if I'd seen any goddess-busted kittens of the caracal variety with earrings. Come to think of it, the cook said she'd seen a strange cat recently. Hey, did you hear him yell that someone stole a mummy sausage? It must be a kitten. Let's go get it!
You're not only observant, you're also fast! You were able to catch a caracal. You're so quick, even though you're just a kitten. Let's take him to Miu. Don't you want to go until you've finished your mummy sausage? You really must have the patience of a goddess to take care of these kittens!
-
a rare treat
Detective
Buddy, I hear you're looking for goddess busted kittens. Let's get them together quickly before they get lost in a foreign land. Otherwise, we'll piss off the goddess. Miu told me that one of the goddess' kittens looks like the Sphinx. Let's take a closer look at the Halloween decorations. Perhaps the kitten is pretending to be a puppet. Find a sphinx that looks like the real thing.
It's like the real Sphinx! As usual, you're brilliant. It's not easy to find a kitten dressed like this, hiding amongst all the glitter and festive decorations. To be honest, I wouldn't have been able to tell if it was a doll or a kitten if it weren't for the curious twinkle in the kitten's eye. I'll go deliver this kitten to Miu myself.
-
Toys for brown tigers
Jack
Are the sacred kittens of the Goddess Bust visiting me? Well, the goddess must not be too happy. For these naughty kittens might just run away into the mist. I was casting a Halloween spell on a pumpkin lantern when I saw a brown kitten. I said, "Come on, kitty," but she ignored me. You might want to see if it's the kitten of a goddess.
Mm, that's definitely the kitten I saw. According to Miu, this is an Abyssinian breed, as red as the pumpkin I liked. This little furball tried to play with the pumpkin as if it were a furball, but it was still a little underpowered. Let's send him back to the goddess and wait for him to grow up a little more.
-
Flight of bats
Priestess Miu
Let's hurry and find the Goddess' kittens before they get lost in the fog. If I find them, the Goddess' heart will be at peace and I can go into town to celebrate Halloween. Those bats over there are making a lot of noise. It seems one of the kittens is trying to catch them. Let's go check it out.
Thank you for catching our agile hunter. She is one of Goddess' kittens, an Egyptian Mau. She loves to play and jump around, so she has started chasing bats. Oh, I think the kitten scratched the vampire Ludwig who was out for a walk in the sky. I'll apologize for that later.
-
offering to the spirits of the dead
Salem
I hear you are going to help me collect the symbols of the blessing of the spirits and finish the coronation ceremony. Thank you. I'm having so much fun. Every day more and more Halloween spirits recognize me as their queen. I'm sure that the "Spirit Reflecting the Night" left the symbol of blessing somewhere in the city. Will you help me find it?
What a beautiful amulet! The "sparkling opal" in this snake mold reminds me of the surface of a lake at night. What you have found is a sign that the "spirits reflecting the night" have accepted me.
-
get good luck
Jack
I can't just sit back and relax when Selem is in danger and Halloween and calamity looms over the entire city, I'm no longer King of the Night, but I have a lot of experience with magic. I may not be King of the Night anymore, but I've got a lot of experience with magic, and if I'm part of the ritual, I'll be useful. Find me the pumpkin coin. I'm counting on you.
Thanks for finding the pumpkin coins. When I was still King of the Night, I used to pack good luck into these coins. I gave away almost all of them to people in town at Halloween parties. I'll take these coins to Miu. Maybe I can do something to make the ritual a success.
-
soul at ease
Priestess Miu
I see that there are many creatures in this city who have been endowed with magical powers, and we will surely find five newcomers to perform the ritual. Now we must wait for signs from Kaa, or Inset, the keeper of souls. If you accept the invitation, Inset will show you a canopic jar with his own face on it. Have you seen it around here?
We were lucky to find an inset canopic jar! Now the inset will be part of the ritual. The remnants of Isfet and its dark soul will be kept in this Canopic Urn forever after losing its name. Cruel, but otherwise the city and its wonderful inhabitants will be swallowed up by chaos.
-
Moon Magic
Jack
The leader of the werewolves would love to participate in the ritual. He has a superhuman sense of smell. He says the unreasonableness of the spirits of chaos reeks of trouble. The werewolf will show up at the beginning of the ritual if we light his wolf lamp. But where is the lamp, 7 help me find it.
You found it! This is the wolf lamp I was talking about. The leader of the werewolves approaches this light and participates in an unnamed ritual. This is tricky for evil spirits. We cannot underestimate the werewolf's magical power, especially on a full moon night.
-
Check the list
Priestess Miu
In order to deprive Isfet of his name and all his power, I will ask the goddess Renenet, the goddess who bestows names. Will you be able to participate in the ritual? I have already prayed and am waiting for signs. In my vision I saw a magic pointed brush. Let us see if it appears.
Thank you for finding the pointed brush of the law. It is a good sign. Invisible to the eye, the goddess Renneneto, who gives names, will participate in the ritual and help us to take the name of Ispheto, the bringer of chaos, forever. She will erase all the names of Ispheth from the books of the living and the dead.
-
Surge of Power
Ludwig
I hear that an ancient evil spirit is stalking the streets and terrorizing humans and Halloween. How dare they turn the Queen of the Night into a mummy. It must be stopped! The priestess Miu is preparing a special ritual? I will gladly participate. Please give Miu this elixir as proof of my consent.
Yes, it is. It's a vampire elixir. I won't tell you how to make it. Humans cannot make it, but you can try, and you will be filled with energy if you drink this elixir. This is exactly what the brave priestess needs. Valerie has already told me about the priestesses.
-
unforeseen development
Priestess Miu
I do not know why I see your wonderful city instead of the darkness of Duat. Has the decision of the gods changed? I could always pray to Bast for an answer, but my voice does not seem to be reaching the Goddess now. I used all my energy to track down Isfet. Do you want to try the artifact? Fine, let's give it a try.
I do not know which deity bestowed upon you the artifact with magical powers, but I feel the bust reply and see the essence of things in my inner eye. Oh the energy from the other world is so rich... you are celebrating a festival of spirits, the magic of which affected the movement of the vessel.
-
Judgment of the Gods
Priestess Miu
To restrain those who bring chaos, Bast consulted the nine gods and pondered Isfet's sin. Here is the balance of truth. Is it the fog of the city that is helping the great Bast to continue my story? You might say so. But look at this balance.
The balance of truth revealed that darkness reigned in Isfet's heart and not even the faintest light. The ancient gods made the decision to send the vessel containing Isfet to the endless depths of Douat, the underworld, and take away its power to harm the living. I applauded this judgment.
