🔐 The Cipher

Every letter in this message has been shifted. Decode it. Then work out what it's describing.

Not quite — try again!
Each letter has been shifted forward by 3 — to decode, shift each letter back by 3. D becomes A, E becomes B, F becomes C...
Once decoded, the message describes a household appliance notorious for eating socks and destroying tissues left in pockets. "The revolution never stops" is a metaphor for what it does mechanically.
Act 1 · The Spinning Drum
🫧

The Washing Machine!

Go open it up and check inside — your first egg is hiding in the drum. Find the slip of paper and enter the secret code below.

That's not right — double-check the slip!
Digital Challenge · Wordle

🟩 Wordle Time

Guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries. She's a member of this family.

🟩 Right spot  🟨 Wrong spot  ⬜ Not in word

She has four legs and a waggy tail... 🐕
Act 2 · Old Friends & Hidden Words

🐕 Family Trivia

Before Bowie and Flora bounded into your lives, another loyal friend was part of the family. Her photo still hangs on the wall. What was her name?

Not quite — look around you...
She's still watching over the family from a framed photo on the wall...
A loyal, four-legged family member. Her name starts with S.
Act 2 · Old Friends & Hidden Words

📖 The Book Puzzle

Sophie has one final message for you. Somewhere in this house is a book. Identify it.

"I describe a world where humanity has finally defeated its oldest, most inevitable enemy.

But the solution became its own corruption.
A chosen few inherited a power that once belonged only to time itself —
and they were not ready for it.

My author's first name is the same as the first man to walk on the moon,
though he spells it differently.

I am not far from where you are standing."
Not quite — think harder about the theme...
Humanity's "oldest, most inevitable enemy" is something that comes for us all, without exception. The book's title is the tool most associated with it.
The first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong. The author is Neal Shusterman. One word title. Dark cover.

✓ Good. Now find it on the shelf and open it. Turn to the page that is also the answer to life, the universe, and everything. On that page, find the seventh word. Enter it below.

That's not it — count from the very first word at the top of the page.
"The answer to life, the universe, and everything" is a famous number from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Count carefully from the first word on that page, including small words.
Act 2 · Old Friends & Hidden Words

🧩 Unscramble

The word HER has unlocked these 13 letters. Somewhere inside them is your next destination. Rearrange them to find it.

Your answer:

Tap letters below to build your answer...

Available letters:

Not quite the right arrangement!
It's a place in the house. It's somewhere you spend a lot of time. You're probably very near it right now.
Two words. Think comfort, TV, and the things that fall down the back of it. _ O U C H   C U _ _ _ O N S

Digital Challenge · Sliding Puzzle

🧩 Sliding Puzzle

Moves: 0

Act 3 · After Dinner

🍽️ Decode This

The puzzle is solved. Now decode what it revealed.

🐔+🫘+🧀🔥
Not quite — look more carefully at each symbol.
Read each emoji as a sound or word. 🐔 sounds like the first part of something. 🫘 are a legume. 🧀🔥 is a grilled cheese — a specific one, from the eastern Mediterranean.
Chick + peas + grilled halloumi. It's a dish this family knows very well.
Act 3 · After Dinner

🎵 The Next Step

What has 88 voices but only speaks when touched? What knows both black and white but has no grey areas? What filled the room on rainy afternoons when someone in this family was practising?

Find it. Search it carefully. It is hiding something.

That's not quite it — keep searching!
88 voices. Black and white. It's a musical instrument — and someone in this house plays it.
The message is in an envelope hidden somewhere on or near the piano — try under the lid, behind the music stand, tucked into the sheet music.
Act 3 · After Dinner

💭 Solve the Riddle

Your piano clue was: SPARKLE

"SPARKLE is my only promise.

In another life, my name describes a person —
but no one in this house does my job by hand.

I prefer the night shift: loaded after dinner,
emptied before breakfast, never thanked.

I share a wall with the sink
but we have never spoken.

What am I?"
Not quite — think carefully about "my name describes a person"...
"My name describes a person" — what do you call a human who washes dishes for a living? Now imagine a machine that does that job instead.
It lives in the kitchen, next to the sink. You add a tablet and press a button. It hums while you watch TV.
Act 3 · After Dinner
🍽️

The Dishwasher!

Open it up and check inside — Egg 3 is waiting on one of the racks. Enter the code from the slip.

That's not right — check the slip again!
Digital Challenge · Memory Match

🃏 Memory Match

Pairs found: 0 / 6

Act 4 · The Final Egg

🗝️ The Final Riddle

The memory cards have delivered your final clue. Now think carefully.

"Every version of you lives inside me.
The hopeful purchase. The reliable favourite.
The thing that still has its tags.

I have a rail, but no train has ever used it.
I have doors, but I am not a room.

C.S. Lewis made one of me famous.
You visit me twice a day
and remember neither time.

Where is the last egg?"
Not quite — think about what C.S. Lewis wrote...
C.S. Lewis wrote The Lion, the Witch and the... what? That same thing holds your clothes.
You open it to get dressed each morning and again at bedtime. Inside: a rail with hangers, your clothes.
Act 4 · The Final Egg

The Wardrobe!
