Melt frost.
Detective
There are letters engraved on the ring. But I can't read them at all. It's completely covered with frost. Could you bring a candle? If you melt the frost with it, you should be able to read what is written on the ring.
I found a candle. Let's light it. All right. Be careful. Don't damage the evidence. The frost has melted. The ring says "K-S+I-L." Well, I don't know much. No "I.L." or "K.S." among the city's residents that I know of.
-
engagement ring
Detective
The box was found, but empty. There is no ring on the woman's finger either. It has to be around here somewhere. Let's find it! We have to thoroughly shovel away the piles of snow to find the ring.
I found an engagement ring. It's really beautiful. I hope it gives us some clues as to what happened to the woman who was put on ice.

Recording Anomalies
Juliette
Mon ami, allow me to speak. The Master studied time, travelled through it and was about to conduct an experiment to slow down time here in the City. He even mentioned that this was only the beginning! If we collect the items that he used in his experiments, then we'll understand what his end goal was - and what his scientific research led to. Find something connected to the Master's experiments. The City will help you.
The first find! Bravo, mon ami! It looks like a compass, only it's demagnetised. The needle is spinning like crazy! Oh, and if you step further away from the Master's devices, the needle comes to a stop and points red. This device must identify time anomalies!
-
(marriage) proposal
Detective
What do you think? Why did he take off his gloves when it's so cold? There must be a big reason. Let's look around the couple.
Nice box. Looks like there was a ring in it. Of course! Look at this traditional pose. The young man takes off his gloves and kneels before the lady. So this gentleman with the initials "K.S." was courting her. At that very moment, he was turned into an ice statue by some terrible magic.
-
Missing trinkets
Detective
Look closely at the man. He is wearing a glove on his left hand, but not on his right hand. Where did the glove on his right hand go?
Did you find the young man's other glove? See, it's embroidered with his initials. "K.S.". Judging by the excellence of the embroidery and the crest on the initials, the young man appears to be from a wealthy family.
-
Start of survey
Detective
I'm glad you called. What do we know? The day the citizens came to pick up their gifts, the entrance to the store was frozen shut. Obviously, someone has been up to no good. Don't you think? Then this couple became ice statues. What's the connection between them and the store not opening? Let's start the investigation. First, examine the ice sculptures carefully. Look for clues.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers is placed at the woman's feet. These two must have been on a date. A date by a gift store? That's romantic!
-
A Cup of Christmas
Conductor
Friends, I decided to dedicate a bottle of my favorite champagne to the ball. But the Snow Queen's snow storm uprooted everything in the hall. I don't know where that precious bottle went. This job is perfect for you. Find it and bring it back.
-
guiding star
Captain Drake
When I was traveling far away, I had a magic guiding star. It always pointed me in the right direction. I took it to the hall because I thought it would look nice on top of the Christmas tree. Can you help me find it?
Now you have a guiding star! Glad to be of service.
-
Christmas Sparkle
Valerie
You are here! Looking for Christmas symbols? I made a Christmas garland, but I didn't know where I put it. Surely you can find it easily?
What is that iridescent thing in your hand? Well, it's my Christmas garland! Isn't it beautiful?
-
Waiting for a miracle
Juliette
Well, even the mistress of the mansion is helping to save Christmas? That's a surprise. Well then, I can't help but do something about it. I never celebrated Christmas as a child, but every year I waited for Santa Claus to come to our house. I even hung up my socks. It was always empty, but I believed that one day it would be filled with lots of presents.
Yes, these are my Christmas socks. I made them myself. Be careful with them. They are very important.
-
flash of a thousand lights
Mistress
According to Santa, the only thing that can defeat the Snow Queen is the power of fire from the magical fir tree standing in the center of the hall. But now the tree is trapped in the bitter cold and the Christmas fire is not lit at all. It is the hearts of those who believe in Christmas that light the magic fire in the Christmas fir tree. Gather Christmas goods with those brave souls who have not been discouraged by fear but have kept the faith. A thousand bean-bulb decorations are hidden from detection by the monsters. Find them in the hall.
Yes, this is my miniature light bulb. It's the brightest bulb in town. Why do you look so surprised? Oh, I love Christmas! Otherwise, I wouldn't have that pile of junk in my mansion every year!
-
The Weight of Tradition
Conductor
There is only one snowman left. Given the lineup, that last one would be the traditional snowman. He's made of snow, has a scarf around his head, and a carrot nose.
Look, the fifth snowman ran straight to his friends. He must be in a big hurry.
-
Stylish helpers
Conductor
Three snowmen got together and started whispering! They won't let anyone hear them. Not even me. They just said I need a fashionable friend right now. Can you find one?
Oh, and the graceful snowman soon joined the group.
-
Help from the Ice
Conductor
Next time, I need to find an ice snowman somewhere. It's more like an iceman.
They are an interesting group of snowmen. But they are all so small and gentle. I hope that's not the reason they can't defeat the Snow Queen.
-
iced candy
Conductor
The first snowman story says there is a snowman made of ice cream. Chocolate? Or vanilla? You'll know when you find out.
Vanilla ice cream snowman. I'm glad you found it. Not the one with a sweet tooth.
-
star spirit
Conductor
Santa's letter will no doubt tell you that you must find the magical snowman that is the good spirit of Christmas. Let's find it!
Can you beat the Snow Queen with this little star snowman? Well, you'll have to try.
-
The end of the team
Captain Drake
I don't remember much about the fifth and last reindeer. I think it was made of jewels. What do you think?
Emerald reindeer! The last one on the team, the most important one, is made of pure emerald. How did you find him?
-
Golden figurine
Captain Drake
The second to last ornament is a golden reindeer. I hope the card scammers don't come steal it, blinded by the value of the gold.
A pure gold reindeer! In the past I would have kept such a treasure for myself no matter what!
-
Third Racer
Captain Drake
The lore also mentioned a bronze reindeer. Can you find it?
The third animal on Santa's team is a reindeer! You're a great hunter, you're a great hunter!
-
ice cube
Captain Drake
According to the legend, the second reindeer is made of snow and ice. With all this snow on the ground, it would be a challenge to find it, but you can do it!
I'm glad it wasn't summer. The snow reindeer would have melted.
-
Team First
Captain Drake
Together we will defeat the Snow Queen! Santa's letter mentions magical reindeer and a sleigh that glides down the path of the stars. As a child, I once heard a legend that if you collected magical reindeer figurines, the Aurora Borealis reindeer would descend from the sky. Can you help me find these rare figurines?
This is amazing! Amazing craftsmanship! This silver reindeer is alive and about to leap into the sky.
-
Last clue
Juliette
We need one last lead on Santa. Maybe a Christmas box? Let's see if I'm right again.
Yes, this is it. It's Santa's last clue! Look. I was right again. It's hidden in the Christmas box.
-
Christmas Decorations
Juliette
I feel like I need to find some Christmas decorations next. How about some pine cone decorations? Have you seen anything like that?
I found my Christmas pinecones. Which means we're one step closer to a solution!
-
sweet find
Juliette
I have a feeling the clue to the next cipher is attached to some Christmas candy. I don't know why I think that. Maybe it's woman's intuition. Or maybe I just want something sweet.
See, I told you so. Christmas candy with a letter with incomprehensible symbols. I'll have to decipher it as soon as possible.
-
Second clue
Juliette
I probably need all of these pieces of paper to understand the clues about Santa Claus. Find more items with letters on them.
Was the second letter attached to Christmas decorations? Let's look for the other ones.
-
First clue
Juliette
I know what's going on, Monami. The Snow Queen wants to destroy Christmas. But Santa Claus is in the way. But if people stop believing in Christmas, Santa Claus will lose his power. Then the Snow Queen can approach the magical fir tree and make wishes come true without anyone stopping her! In other words, to save Christmas, we must save Santa! Santa must have left some clues in the hall.
Well, a glass of champagne. Does it come with a letter written in mysterious symbols? Maybe I need to find some of these messages to understand the clues about Santa Claus.
-
Autumn Anomalies
Isabelle
My anomaly locator started to buzz in my hands the moment we approached the valley. But something tells me that this isn't just to do with the anomalies. What secrets does this seemingly quiet place hide? Let's go and take a look around the Valley.
We found a wagon in the valley. This place is overflowing with the gifts of autumn, and straw bales have been placed cozily around the fire. Strangely, there are no horses or wheel tracks on the ground. Could the wagon have gotten here by air? And it seems that it didn't have a soft landing.
-
Interplanetary Transport
Cardsharp
My dear friend, an exceedingly intriguing idea just came to me. One thing from the future could just be the City playing a joke; two or three is chance; four is coincidence, but five is a pattern. If you find a fifth item, then we'll be absolutely certain that the Mater, whose Laboratory of Time we have the honour of being in, has travelled to the future!
Oh my god! Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! If it's not a spaceship model. My friend, do you understand what this means? You have proven that the person who created the laboratory of Time travelled not only to the past, but also into the future!
-
Personal World
Huntress
Mein freund, we can firmly say that the Master, who created the Laboratory of Time, travelled to the past. But to say that his next step was to travel to the future, will need more proof. Find an item brought back by the Master. Will it turn out to be from the future?
What a puzzling thing. Judging by the material, the Master obviously brought it back from the future, and according to Valerie's enthusiastci screams, it's called a Virtual Reality Helmet for gaming. It's placed on the head? Let's try it... Nothing has changed, only I somehow see myself on the streets of the City of Shadows. And a gargoyle is flying at me! Where's my sling? Take this, creature!
-
3D Image
Martha
An incrediable place, this Laboratory of Time, and no less mysterious is its Master who created it! Did he really travel into the future? Locate the next item and confirm or refute our assumption.
Oh, I'm afraid even I don't know what this thing is. Hmm. I can definitely say that it's safe, and if you press the button... Look! Our Earth has appeared above its surface! It looks like the astral bodies that I invoke! The blue translucent sphere spins, shows us continents, magnifies Euqope, its countries an dcities, a green dot blinks somewhere near Italy, and... It's all gone! What was it?
-
Flight on a Board
Alex
Valerie's just a cutie, right? And always sharing interesting ideas! I watched a movie about travelling to the future, well, before I became so... see through. Anyways, the main character flew on an anti-gravity board. Do you want to look for something similar?
Wow! You've found a flying skateboard! Not that I couldn7t fly, but with a skateboard it seems more human. Strange, why won't it work? Ah, yes... On the reverse side it says: "Hoverboard. Use over a water surface." It's a pity, I would have taken it for a spin.
-
Language Barrier
Isabella
Valerie's like a child, for heaven's sake! Just look at how she's running around the laboratory. Thank heavens she's not touching anything else... Now abck to the Master's research. He went into the past, so maybe the next step was to travel into the future? If you find objects from the future, this will confirm my theory and point us towards where to go next so we can ultimately learn why the Laboratory of Time was created.
A curious thing you found: a multi-faced bracelet in which floats phrases in different languages - German, French, Chinese... even in Esperanto! I know what kind of bracelet it is! It's a universal translator because Esperanto is a universal language, which was invented in the 19th century. Will we really all speak it?
-
Explorer in the Depths of Time
Martha
Within the laboratory's walls we found various objects that showed us where the Master went in his studies of time. Judging by everything, he learned to travel to the past. But why? Was his "Grand Goal" to discover how to time travel? I think we're one step away from learning the answer to this question. I'll perform a ritual that will help locate the Master's secret records, which he did along with his most powerful artifacts. The things you collected from the past will help me in this, but I need a drop of the City's magic. Will you bring me some artifacts?
The ritual is complete, and I'm amazed by what materialised in my hands! It's the Sphere of Events, an artifact that helped the Master travel back in time! I feel a powerful aura emanating from it. A power the likes of which I've never felt before. And here are the Master's records, which he hid along side the sphere. What do they say? Read fast!
-
A Wager on Diamonds
Isabelle
I think I know how to get solid proof that the lab's owner actually visited the past. Find the Order of the Bath that, according to the Master, he won from Admiral Nelson in a card game. If the order really is in the laboratory, we won't have any more reason to doubt that the Master is more than a simple collector of antiques.
The same legendary knight's cross of the Order of the Bath, which granted Nelson nobility and the rank of Rear Admiral! You actually found it! Now I have no doubt about it: The Master is a real time traveller!
-
Left-Handed Notebook
Detective
If the Master was the genius, crackpot scientist that I consider him to be, he could make a Philosopher's Stone entirely by himself. Look for something the Master couldn't create on his own or buy from collectors - something he could only pull from the past. Maybe an item belonging to a famous historical person, but was considered lost?
Whoa! These are the legendary records of Leonardo da Vinci! He made a lot of records using mirror writing, thereby encrypting the secrets of his inventions. After da Vinci's death, the records were scattered throughout Europe, and many were lost... The Master could only get his hands on them in the past!
-
Final touches
Huntress
My hands and feet are warmer, my ears are protected. But I can't just walk around in this winter cold without a coat, can I?
Did you find my coat? Let me see. It has a nice lining. The outer fabric keeps out the cold wind. It has a hood, too. It's a nice coat! Now you don't have to worry.
-
Highest warmth
Huntress
Those boots you're wearing aren't very long. You need to find something to protect your feet from the freezing cold. Fur gaiters would be good.
The fur gaiters are so much more stylish. They are warm and look great.
-
warm yarn
Huntress
It's so important to keep your feet warm. I have nice boots on, but I need to find some woolen socks too.
Yarn socks with pom-poms? That's new. But the important thing is that they're warm. Now is not the time to worry about looks.
-
fur that protects the ears
Huntress
Ears are sensitive to the cold. You'll need a hat or a pair of furry ear muffs to keep them from freezing.
Well, these earmuffs not only look warm, they are very stylish. I wish I had one of those. It's getting colder and colder.
-
warm hand
Huntress
I heard the story from the mayor. I heard that the Snow Queen has Santa Claus locked up. That's terrible! We have to save Santa Claus. He is the only one who can stand up to the Snow Queen and stop her plot to turn the world into an icy wilderness. Can you feel it? The cold is getting worse and worse. It's freezing, especially in the halls. We need to dress warmly if we are to accomplish this mission! Mittens first. It shouldn't be too hard to find them.
You found it! With these warm mittens, my hands won't get frostbite!
-
Santa's Pickles
Detective
Well, we found all the evidence. We even know who the killer is! But we still don't know what happened to Santa. Will we find out when we find the Christmas artifact?
The moment the evidence was combined with the Christmas artifact, the city of shadows showed the crime! In the swirling snow, the Grinch snuck into the hall while Santa's attention was momentarily diverted and opened the gate leading to the North Pole. From there, the Snow Queen emerged, trapped Santa in a block of ice, and whisked him away to her castle.
-
criminal profile
Detective
After laying out all the clues, I came to a conclusion. The culprit must be someone very close to Santa Claus! He must know his price very well, given this grand scheme. I bet we'll find the killer's image at the crime scene.
It's a Grinch doll wearing Santa boots and hat. Needless to say! The elves were so mad that their work wasn't appreciated that they tried to replace themselves by making Santa a dead man!
-
Christmas Tea Party
Detective
We know how the killer found Santa's house, but how did he do it? He's not just an old man. He's not someone you can easily twist with one hand. He has very strong magical powers. It's the Christmas spirit that countless children put into it. Let's find the killer's weapon.
Poisoned tea. ...... That's how the killer got Santa Claus! You wouldn't have drunk from this cup, would you? Santa must have blacked out after drinking the poison. And then the killer attacked.
-
Ways and Means
Detective
Reading this, it seems clear that the killer hates Santa and wants to replace him. He also has an accomplice. The "Mistress." So now we know the purpose and motive. But how did the killer get to Santa? He is not an easy man to find.
A child's letter to Santa Claus? I see! With the magic of Christmas, all letters addressed to Santa Claus will be sent straight to Santa! All the culprit has to do is follow the letters!
-
motive
Detective
Following the promise of every detective novel, the next step is to find out the killer's motive. Look for clues that might indicate a motive for this Christmas crime.
Snow globes? Are you trying to tell me that the killer wanted to get his hands on this? Yeah, I got it. It's another letter. "My world." So, we're saying that the killer's intentions are embodied here. He wants to take over the world. Don't you think?
-
Start of survey
Detective
This is amazing. Half of this gorgeous hall is covered with ice. It's so cold. And this place seems to have been abandoned by the Christmas spirit of kindness and warmth. Not even Grandpa Santa Claus in his rocking chair. There is no doubt that a crime has been committed using magical powers. Let's search everywhere and gather evidence that might help us find the culprit.
Wow! There's a needle stuck in a Santa figurine! The killer seems to really dislike this kind old man. ...... Look, there are words carved on the base. Why does everyone always pamper Santa Claus? It's his little assistant elf who does the work. ......" I can't read the rest.
-
Forbidden beauty
Detective
There is one more item that belies the talents of an excellent dancer. Buddy, I've heard about Mata Hari, the dancer who was also a spy. If I am not mistaken, there is one of her accessories in the mansion!
A beautiful oriental crown. Mata Hari lived in Indonesia. She was famous for her oriental mystical dances. Thanks, buddy. Now we have everything we need to save Julie!
-
Ritual Movement
Martha
The hand movement is one of the most unique aspects of dancing. Simona Alvarez, the "flamenco rose," had mastered it perfectly. Julie once complained about the roses in the ballroom. The rose that Alvarez had braided into her hair. You can find them, can't you?
The fiery red roses are the very incarnation of Simona Al-Arez's dance. It may seem simple, but it is the fire of sincerity and genuine passion that makes it unique.
-
Dance of the Rulers
Valerie
Not only professional dancers know how to dance. I once read that Queen Elizabeth I of England danced the Volta to perfection. It's a ballroom dance, with intricate moves. The mistress definitely has some item that belonged to that legendary queen. You'll have to find it.
What a glittering collar! It is truly fit for a queen. I don't know where the mistress got this, but I'm sure we could all do better.
-
point shoes
Detective
If you're in need of a famous dancer's belongings, I know what I'm looking for next. I think I've seen a showcase with ballet shoes somewhere in the mansion. They definitely belonged to someone famous. Can you help me find them?
Look, there's a label on the shoe. They belong to that beautiful ballerina, Lily Londer. I hope Julie's dancing will be as graceful as hers!
-
Nymph Accessories
Cardsharp
To make Juliette's dance truly great, you'll need to get items from the best dancers of each era, each of whom is imbued with a piece of their talent. Let's start with Isabella Danis's flower crown. The mistress of the mansion once had it in her collection.
In her dances, Danis encouraged a return to ancient traditions. That's why her crown is similar to that of the nymphs. I don't know about you, but the mistress has a talent for collecting rarities!
-
Hear My tone!
Alex
Our orchestra is still missing one small thing. We need a penetrating, resonant sound that attracts the listener. Trumpets are too rough, cornet is not loud enough... how about a flugelhorn? Find it.
The ordinary trumpet is too rough sounding, the gentle sound of the flugelhorn is what we need for the ball. Now we have all the instruments to play the magic waltz!
-
deeply emotive study
Detective
Will Julie dance for the ghosts soon? And when she does, will I finally get to hold her in my arms? But you know what's still missing from the orchestra? Density, emotion, power... yes, the bassoon! It's got it all. Buddy, go to the ballroom and find me a bassoon.
Now I've got a bassoon. I'm not particularly fond of classical music, but I swear, if this instrument will save Julie, I'll listen to Beethoven for a month!
-
read-base
Valerie
The orchestra definitely needs a cello. It would go well with Juliette's dancing. Alex said that bass sound is not only needed for rock music! Find the cellos in the mansion. Hold on Julie, I'll get the orchestra ready in a minute!
I've always loved the soft deep sound of the cello. Better than the squeaky sound of the violin! But maybe I just haven't met a great violinist?
-
soft rhythm
Mayor
Hurry up, or dear Juliette will be dancing for many more nights! Wouldn't the sound of the violin alone dampen the youth, beauty, and passion of the dancers? Something needs to soften that sound. My guess would be the clarinet.
Never judge an instrument by its appearance. The clarinet has this enveloping sound that fits any piece. Now we are one step closer to our goal.
-
A lament played by a bow
Martha
I have gathered excellent dances for Juliette, but how can I ask her to dance without music? To fulfill the ghost's request and free Juliette, we need to collect the instruments used in the best orchestra this city has ever seen. You must find the violin inside the ballroom. This instrument is called the queen of orchestras.
What a stunning old violin. Look at it. It is inscribed by the famous master craftsman Guarneri. If I am not mistaken, it is the very same one used by Niccolò Paganini!
-
The Mystery of Brown Skin
Alex
One remaining item will complete Juliette's dance. What's missing? Her eyes don't quite have the same enigma as those of the oriental temple dancers. And that brings me to what is needed. It's the ballet La Bayadere. It's set in India. See if my guess is correct.
You've done it again! This jug captures the warmth of La Bayadere's brown-skinned hands. This ballet piece itself is wonderful, too. It is a tragic love story between an Indian princess and a brave warrior.
-
Southern Night Passion
Detective
You don't think those three ballets are all that are performed around the world, do you? There's a Spanish passion poured into Juliette's dance. That fan in Don Quixote hides the Andalusian passionate gaze. That one would perfectly convey this important emotion, man. Would it be in the mansion?
Yes, this is the fan from Don Quixote! Do you feel this energy? I remember Juliette joking with this in her hand. That Don Quixote was a supporting character in the ballet. Oh, how I wish I could see her smile again!
-
Simply enjoy
Valerie
Julie's dancing has no emotion. It needs a carefree vivacity. When it comes to everyone's favorites, what could be better than Giselle? The lilies convey the right emotion. Find it!
Lilies from the ballet Giselle! Look at this wonderful flower! Gentle Giselle was a friend to everything in the world. She never thought that anyone could be up to something evil. You can see her image in Julie's dance!
-
unlucky bird
Isabelle
Julie's dancing lacks grace. Where can she go to get smooth, graceful turns? Help Julie perform Odetta from Swan Lake. With the light feathers of a beautiful white winged bird, she must be able to convey her emotions correctly! Find the swan feathers. Hurry up, please.
Julie told me that these feathers used to adorn the heads of the ballerinas at the Mariinsky Theatre. She said it was the best production of Swan Lake ever performed and she was the one who played Odetta in it. I hope Julie is right!
-
Christmas nuts
Martha
In the City of Shadows, there are a lot of objects that have an aura about them, about past events and their former owners. Since we cannot call our best dancers from the past, why don't we look for their famous possessions instead? The spark of their talent remains in those items. That will help Julie do her perfect dance. The Nutcracker is one of the most famous ballets of all time. Could you help me find the items from this piece?
This toy looks just like Krakatuk, the magic nut from Hoffman's fairy tale about the Nutcracker. What a sad fate. A beautiful prince turned into a child's toy!
-
Greek Artistry
Cardsharp
My friends, every last piece of jewelry will bring you one step closer to protecting Juliette from being held captive by a ghost. The mistress of the mansion once boasted that she had acquired a belt that once belonged to the famous American dancer, Isabella Danis. Let's find that jewel, shall we?
I can only envy the jewelry collection of the mistress! Isabella Danis got her inspiration from ancient Greek dances. Her belt is in the style of the ancient Greeks. Bravo, my friend. Now you have everything you need!
-
swan neck
Martha
I think this collection lacks grace. We need a beautiful necklace. I saw one at the mansion. It's a velvet choker with diamonds. It belongs to Milena Kushaminskaya, and it will give Juliette her natural suppleness. Find it.
It is said that the diamond in this necklace was given to Milena by the future Emperor of Austria. He couldn't resist the grace of a natural ballerina!
-
Passion for the Latin Region
Martha
I'm looking for a famous dancer's jewel for Juliette. The next gem I need belongs to Angelica, an incomparable flamenco dancer. Her large earrings still have a bit of Latin American passion in them. Find the golden hoop earrings in the mansion.
Yes, these are Angelica's earrings! She was called the "Queen of Flamenco". And the Brazilian dancer was honored to have her dance named after her!
-
Step lightly
Martha
That's Serena Bombardo. Like a fragile butterfly, she beat an incurable disease. With the help of art. Her brooch must still be in the mansion. Can you help me find it? The brooch will give Juliette her fortitude!
This butterfly brooch is amazing. Did you know that Selena, who was supposed to die of tuberculosis, lived to be 80 years old and became the most famous actress of all time? Talent is nothing without a strong will!
-
Spanish Elegance
Cardsharp
I guess the magic of the ghost of the dancer keeps Juliette dancing the waltz. I'll have to look for some jewels made by some of the best artists in history. You're lucky the mistress of the mansion collects famous jewels. She wouldn't have missed the emerald moon of that passionate Spaniard, Amelia Diane. Can you help me find it?
You've found a beautiful gem in Amelia Diane! When she was young, she charmed the Great King with her dancing. After her wedding, Amelia was presented with a pile of jewels, but the emerald moon was her favorite. In fact, it originally belonged to the Great King's elephant!
-
The Heart of Easter
Detective
The delicious smell of spring is inspiring, but don't let up just yet. First, let's look around and find what the nature spirits call "the heart of Easter. There is no time to have fun. Once Easter comes, the lady will be sent back to the human world, never to return! Let's take a decisive step forward and save them both, shall we?
So the spirits have set aside a vacant lot for the traditional spring picnic. Aw, it's a real Easter bunny! Chocolate eggs must be hidden in the hare, too. How romantic! Here's the lady and the gatekeeper proving their love to the natural spirits.
-
Looking for benefits
Juliette
You mentioned in your message that the souls need to go to the "tea house" for us to benefit. But there is no one waiting for us at this old torii gate. Surely we should be brave enough to enter this heavenly place. Why don't we look for what boon we can find among the cherry blossoms in full bloom? You go in first, dear friend.
This place is heaven. There's a kettle on the furnace. It smells like herbs. The wind chimes hanging outside are swaying in the wind, making a cool sound. In the garden, cranes are strolling gracefully.
-
Whom the Bell Tolls for
Valerie
Look! There's a strange whirlwind going on behind the big gate of the Witch's Dwelling Place. I don't know where that whirlwind came from. This gate is covered with some kind of thick plant vines. I have to get inside quickly. We need to cut these overgrown vines. Do you have a knife or scissors?
Wow! What an amazing temple. Martha's ancestors must have kept this hidden from the city all these years. The four witch elephants are standing facing the bell in the center of the "Witches' Dwelling Place. This sound...it's giving me goosebumps. Why did this bell start ringing?
-
The Beauty of Nature
Detective
Buddy, I'm one step closer to having the right attire to set Julie free. Nothing a real lady deserves more than a few well-chosen flowers. You'll find it!
You have done it again! This bouquet is nothing short of stunning. It's like it was made for Juliette! I hope the damn ghost is pleased!
-
Light step
Huntress
Hey you, I heard something unfortunate happened to Juliette. I don't know much about balls, but I do know one thing. Without good shoes, you can't dance or hunt. You have to search through the mansion to find shoes for dancing. I bet Julie will flap her wings like a bird during the waltz!
These shoes are perfect! With this comfy shape and soft soles, Julie can dance all night and her foot muscles won't get tired. Only a silly princess in a fairy tale would come to a ball in glass shoes!
-
Touching Passion
Martha
What now? What part of your attire should be considered in order to wow the ghosts? A lady may bare her shoulders and show her collar while dancing. But wearing gloves is not just a matter of etiquette. There is a deeper meaning. Please look for opera gloves at the mansion, and hurry up!
Well done! Not everyone who wants to dance with a lady, deserves to touch her fingers. Of course, not everyone is worthy to kiss her hand!

Sacrifice of Beauty
Valerie
You know what part of the dancer's body needs to be perfect? The waist, of course! They must be corseted with a very thin silk bodice woven from a whale's whiskers. There should be such a thing somewhere in the mansion!
Amazing! What a beautiful bodice! These little diamonds and pearls and silk flowers! ...it's exactly what I had in mind. Everyone's eyes are glued to Julie!
-
Walking on Clouds
Valerie
The perfect attire for the belle of the ball doesn't start with a corset and shoes. The train of the dress is what matters! You feel so noble when you walk with the long train of a dress that doesn't weigh you down. It's like walking on clouds. Will you come and find me?
What a lovely train! What a wonderful feel, the softness of this thin cotton muslin.

Frozen Joy
Detective
Can you feel the enchanting ball back in the world? The dead silence of the ballroom is gone! You can hear the tapping of heels and the rustling of dresses on the floor. Is this someone... dancing? Let's go inside the enchanted ballroom and see what's going on.
Do you see it? The soundless ballroom is dead silent. There are lifeless dolls dressed for the ball. There's someone there, it's Juliette, isn't it? She's alone in the moonlight, dancing to music that only she can hear! Julie! ...No...she can't seem to see me...she's looking past me! I touched her hand and now it's slipping away as we dance! What the hell is going on?
-
Beyond the Line
Detective
We're at the entrance to the old mansion. Juliette is already inside. I'm bubbling like it's my first time on the job! Just the thought of Julie in another man's arms... I have to know the truth, even if it means a bitter end!
Look at this magnificent ballroom. The guests of the magic ball are standing in a row, frozen in place forever. This sight always makes me sad, man. Why would Juliette have a secret meeting in this disgusting place? But where did she go? I have a bad feeling about this, buddy...

liar's sleeve
Inspector
What a scam by Master F! Not fair. During the game I saw him fix his sleeve once. It was an almost imperceptible movement, though. I thought maybe I was mistaken and he was hiding a card in his sleeve.
I'm surprised you found it! With the card in hand, we can confirm that Master F was cheating. But it shows how lucky the card cheaters are that Master F, with all his Fantastic Four talents, still had to cheat!
-
eyes of a liar
Cardsharp
Everyone is working so hard to help me. I'll remember this until the day I die! I know a few card tricks, so I'm in... for example, Master F. used to refill his pipe with tobacco several times during the shuffle. He had a mirrored tobacco container! Let's find out.
Oh! It's so polished, isn't it? I used this instead of a mirror. The crook was checking my cards in the mirror.

Bullshit Card
Adeline Svensson
Based on your research, I could write a book, not just an article! Imagine. Master F. has been cheating card cheaters in the game! Let's find evidence of his lies. Book cards. With these cards, you can change the name and color by simply turning the "page".
I interviewed a famous gambler and I asked him about book cards... he was terribly critical of the use of these things.
-
Bullshit Shuffle
Alex
Even the mafia doesn't cheat when it comes to gambling. Otherwise, fortune would be forever away from you. But Master F. doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. Don't worry. We'll definitely catch him! He must have had a pair of playing cards with the wrong cards in them. Can you help me find them?
Excellent! Scammers use this a lot. They use it to put the removed card back together with the fake card. With this kind of evidence, they can take Master F to court!
-
A pair of liar's cards
Detective
No one thinks Master F won an honest game. Card cheaters are the best winners in town. And Martha senses the deception. But if this is true, then Master F's victory is null and void! We must gather evidence that Master F. committed fraud. Then the card cheater's fortune would return. Was Master F using marked cards?
That's it! A real card with a real mark on it. Looks like an example of card fraud. When I was just a cop, these cards hurt me a lot.

Calculation of probability
Adeline Svensson
This investigation is taking an unexpected turn! The winner of the tournament bet on odd items that for some reason Master F needed. What was so special about these items? Let's find out quickly! Let's look for the abacus that left the hands of the fourth winner.
Only the abacus can calculate probabilities. I once wrote an article about this, but it was a very boring topic. Look. There is a piece of paper attached to the back of the abacus!

read someone's thoughts
Huntress
Master F really needed what the winners bet. Let's find the impenetrable masks that the third member of the Fantastic Four bet on.
During a match, my fencing teacher wears a similar mask. So I can read my opponent's intentions just by looking in his eyes. I wonder if the winners of the tournament learned those things?
-
Perfect Memory
Valerie
I bet the winners bet on something magical. Let's find out quickly what Master F got! I was checking the list and found that the second winner bet on "The Art of Memory." I've heard this name before. Could you help me find it?
The art of memory is a system that works on the human imagination. It trains our memory to remember information better. It's served me well... and I remember that well!
-
dexterous feat
Martha
Detectives are staring at the Fantastic Four's disappearance as having something to do with a bet on the tournament final. What did they bet on? The original winners bet on the Dodger's glove, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a regular glove. Find the glove. Then we can see if my guess is correct.
These gloves are no ordinary gloves. I see signs of powerful magic. We're not wrong. Let's look for other things that members of the Fantastic Four have bet on.
-
Most important
Alex
We need to find out what Master F got from the Fantastic Four while the card cheaters were gambling. At my dad's casino, all the important bets on the final were written down on a special list for the record. I wonder if they do the same thing for the Mystic Tournament? If we can find the list, we can find out what the Fantastic Four members were betting on.
That's great. I got the list! It helps that I've been to the casino... but I just don't want to set foot in a place like this again. The betting is weird!
-
New organizers
Detective
Our goal is to build the dice of death. To do that, we need something in Master F's possession. He is, after all, the tournament organizer! What we need is this. A symbol of his authority here!
This original stick belongs to Master F. It's the same as the entire Mystic Tournament. You'll have to behave carefully when you get to the finals.
-
consecutive victories
Inspector
While searching for items to make death dice, I found out that Master F. has only recently started winning. But given that he was able to become the administrator of the Mystic Tournament, he must have won many times before. Let's see if we can find the winning cup among Master F's trophies.
This championship cup belongs to Master F. Just as I thought. He started winning consecutively at some point. These winning cups were carefully stored. It is obvious that they are valuable to him.
-
First Victory
Valerie
I'll help Martha find Master F's possessions while she prepares for the ritual of making the dice of death. He's a gambler. He must have some memento of his first win. Look, there's a key chain with a card chip on it! Let's take a look. Do you think this belongs to Master F, too?
This keychain is obviously Master F's. The letter "F" is engraved here. The chip is new. Looks like a recent acquisition.
-
fatal accident
Martha
I need more of Master F's stuff to make the dice of death. I could read his aura. Looks like the broken gemstone played an important role in his life. Can you find them at the Red Rose Cafe?
I can see the past of this gem. This ring was broken when Master F proposed to a woman and she turned him down.
-
Beginning of the Journey
Martha
In order to get the tournament security to let me into the finals room, I have to show them the dice of death. This item can be made, but it requires a personal possession containing Master F's energy. Many players have amulets. Find Master F's amulet.
The coral horn amulet brings good luck in the game, but this amulet has run out of power. Master F was not a very lucky player.
-
Shadow of a resting player
Detective
Thanks to some witty citizens, we've got nothing left for us to do. Everyone will be doing their own investigations! I don't care. We'll just focus on rescuing the card cheaters. Looks like there are ghost prints on the dishes. Let's take a closer look.
Ah! These prints must belong to a participant in the Mystic Tournament. Let's give them to Martha and have her find the entrance to the tournament.
-
Shadow of a thrown dice
Adeline Svensson
So the search for card cheaters has reached a new level. Those in charge need items that have passed through the real world to get to the Tournament of Mystery. That's truly sensational. Shall we look for items that have obviously passed through the reality interface? I see the dice are covered in blue flames!
These dice really crossed the barrier between the interfaces of reality! I can touch the flame and it's not hot. It's like it doesn't belong in our world. I'll hurry up and give these dice to Martha.
-
Tournament Visitor Shadows
Valerie
I'm worried about the card cheaters. I need to find the entrance to the Mystic Tournament as soon as possible. If you need another item from the real world, I can help! I saw a hat floating around here with a blue glow. I wonder if it belongs to one of the players. Can you help?
I told you. Invisible man hat! This is going to make me a detective's assistant one of these days. But first, let's take this to Martha. We need her to read the hat's aura and find the entrance to the tournament.
-
Shadow of the Gambling Room
Inspector
As a detective I am challenged by this town. This is an investigation that affects the interface between two realities! But I will succeed and find the entrance to the Tournament of Mystery. Though invisible to the eye, the reflection is real. Something must be reflected in Miller's lampshade. Can you help me?
I knew it! The entire gambling room is reflected here. The Tournament of Mystery is now in full swing. I'll show this lampshade to Martha right away.
-
Shadow of the Card Game
Martha
The entrance to the Mystic Tournament has to be somewhere close... see that blue shadow? This can only happen when the interface of two realities touch. I'll find the entrance to the Tournament with an item across this boundary. Find something in the Red Rose Cafe that is glowing blue.
The ghost card, exactly what we need. This card is at the intersection of two reality interfaces, but there is only one visible between us.
-
Tournament Announcement
Inspector
The detective showed me all the old case files that Red Rose and the missing person were involved in. The mysterious tournaments were held in secret, but the gamblers must have had access to them somehow. In other words, the tournament must have been announced somewhere. Can you find something like that for me?
Just as I thought. The inscription "Tournament" only appears when the card depicting the Rose is pressed. The date of the event coincides with the date of the disappearance of the four men.
-
Tournament Location
Alex
I was intrigued by the fact that the police had tracked down a missing person and found nothing at the Red Rose. After all, the Tournament of Mystery was being held here. You saw it on the invitation. There's a roulette table over there. Let's take a closer look.
Just as I thought. The roulette table is a portable rug. I've seen these things before. Which means the mystery tournaments were held in secret. That's why the police could get so little information.
-
Tournament Wagering
Adeline Svensson
I see the detective and his partner have started working on a new case. I don't want to miss it! You're looking into the disappearance of a card shuffler and a mystery tournament? Then you should definitely be looking for a card shuffler. It's a tool used by professional card shufflers. It was probably used in the tournament.
I did a lot of research and this Schaffler was also mentioned in the disappearance. Look at the note from the original owner that was hidden in the foundation. There was a lot of money at stake in the mystery tournaments.
-
Tournament Winner
Valerie
To find the card cheaters, I need to find out everything I can about this mysterious tournament! I looked through the detective's case files and it seems that one of the missing persons had a special dice shaker. The owner has disappeared and the shaker has never been found. Let's find it!
This shaker is so small! Look, it has initials engraved on it. From this I can guess that someone won this shaker in the first tournament and from then on it was considered a lucky charm.
