Description


An edge-of-your-seat adventure packed full of puzzles, spooks and mystery!

Amity has run off into Badwell Woods.

Her brother Claude goes after her, only to discover his little sister’s scarf dangling near a house in the trees.

Has she gone inside?

He enters, not expecting a three storey-building with NO stairs. And a party laid out when there’s nobody else around.

Only when the front door locks behind him does he realize it’s a housetrap.

And they’ve been caught . . .
