The letter of the day sets the next step, supported by the playing cards and the investigation documents. Children crack secret codes, solve rebus puzzles, take on observation tasks, act out charades and answer quiz questions. On 24 December the large final puzzle brings the search for the missing key to its conclusion.

The printed parents' guide explains the preparation, the hiding places and the solutions. A phone is also needed at certain points of the investigation.

The calendar is aimed at children aged 6 to 10 who investigate together with their parents. It is recommended for ages 6 and up, and younger children need help with the reading. Because it carries no dates, it works in any year. It is printed and assembled in France by a supported-employment workshop. As a present it fits advent, Christmas and St Nicholas Day.

The printed parents' guide walks you through the preparation, the hiding places and the solutions, so every answer is in your hands. The material arrives ready printed, which means there is nothing to craft or print out yourself. Keep a phone to hand, as it is needed at certain points of the investigation.

Since one to five players can take part, the case works just as well with a single child as with the whole family. And because the calendar carries no dates, it makes a present for St Nicholas Day, for advent or for Christmas in any year. The whole investigation runs without a screen and is played at home, with the documents spread out on a table or on the floor.

What age is the calendar meant for? It is recommended for ages 6 and up. Younger children need help with the reading.

Do we need a phone? Yes, a phone is needed at certain points of the investigation.

Can the calendar be played in another year? It carries no dates, so it works in any year.
