The Three Investigators Advent Calendar 2026 (German)

Over 24 days the story moves on chapter by chapter. You read the chapter of the day and solve the puzzle that goes with it. The solution picture tells you which door comes next, so nobody has to guess.

At the same time the investigation wall grows: a pinboard that fills up with clues step by step until it is clear who took the jewellery. The back of the box puts it plainly: become the fourth detective and help Justus, Peter and Bob with their enquiries.

The calendar holds 24 gimmicks for Die drei ??? fans and the colour-illustrated booklet with the story and the puzzles. The packaging shows examples such as the cult magnet Vierter Detektiv, a prism, coloured stones and material for the investigation wall. What sits behind the remaining doors stays a surprise until you open them.

The calendar is made for school-age children who read German and enjoy puzzles. Anyone who knows the books meets Justus, Peter and Bob again straight away. The investigating is shared: the three detectives carry the story, you take on the puzzles.

As a present it fits Advent, St Nicholas Day or Christmas, opened well before the holiday itself. Because it contains small parts, it is not for toddlers.

The pen and the adhesive tape are not included, and nor are the other everyday household materials. Put them ready before the first door is opened so the investigation starts without interruption.

Since the solution picture reveals the next door, it pays to work through in order and leave the other doors shut. If you are giving the calendar as a present, hand it over before 1 December so the first chapter can be read on time. And because the story and the puzzles are in German, it suits children who enjoy reading that language.

Is the calendar in German? Yes, the story and the puzzles are in German. It suits children who read German.

What is behind the doors? 24 gimmicks for fans. The box shows examples such as the cult magnet Vierter Detektiv, a prism, coloured stones and material for the investigation wall. No chocolate is included.

Do I need anything else? Yes, a pen, adhesive tape and other everyday household materials.
