The Mission

Tonight, the Carnival Needs Detectives!

Opening night at the Starlight Carnival! The Ferris wheel is lit, the popcorn is popping, and the Ringmaster has polished the Golden Star prizes for tonight's champion players. But โ€” disaster! Magnifico the Magnificent, the carnival's mischievous magician, has waved his wand and hidden eight Prize Stars in booths all over the midway. Then he locked the Ringmaster's prize vault with one final code and vanished in a puff of purple smoke, leaving only a note: "One last game before the gates open at sundown. Solve my eight booths, detectivesโ€ฆ if you can!" Your team's mission: visit every booth, solve its puzzle, and recover all 8 Prize Stars. Each star carries a number โ€” keep them safe! You will need every star at the vault.
How to play: Work as a team of 2โ€“3 detectives.
๐Ÿ”Ž Each booth hides one puzzle and one Prize Star. Type the answer into the booth's lock โ€” a correct answer opens the way to the next booth.
๐Ÿ’ก Stuck? Hints appear the longer you work: Hint 1 after 2 minutes, Hint 2 after 4, the Final Hint after 6, and the Answer itself after 10. Using hints is smart detective work, not cheating!
๐Ÿ“– The Story and Clue Help buttons on every booth hide useful information โ€” read them!
๐Ÿ“ Use the Notes page (top of the screen) to keep track of codes and star numbers.
๐ŸŽต Want music? Tap the Music button at the top for a cheerful carnival waltz while you play. It's off by default โ€” only your team can turn it on.
