United Kingdom

While Laura was running through the snowstorm away from her friends, she slipped and fell down a hill. She landed onto a cold and dark surface.

When she opened her eyes, she realised she was on a large ship. Laura asked a member of crew where she was, they replied: “You are on the Titanic”.

Laura was shocked and scared as she knew the Titanic would sink. Laura was trying to leave the ship when suddenly she saw the knight running towards her. She turned around and ran in fear.

The knight caught her, took her away and trapped her in a book.

The others followed Laura through the snowstorm and ended up in the Titanic, but Laura was nowhere to be seen.

Separated into three groups, they began to search the ship. After searching High and Low they came across a piece of paper containing a riddle that said EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO FIND OUT

However, the group was left clueless of what it meant; therefore, they decided to go and look for the Captain.

Upon finding the captain, they showed him the riddle and the captain said: “The riddle seems to be directing you somewhere, where knowledge is in abundance”.

Sophie suggested: “Oxford University Library”.

Marco asked the Captain: “How do we get there?” The captain replied: “There is an underground railway where we send books to the Oxford University Library. Some of our most precious books were sent there earlier today.”

The group then asked the captain if he had heard or seen a girl and a knight roaming around the ship. “I saw a small girl and a stranger running towards the library”, answered the captain.

The group immediately ran towards the library only to discover the knight alone crying of desperation, because the book where Laura was imprisoned was missing.

Remembering the captains words they rushed towards the underground railway. Hiding amongst the books they got on one of the carts and travelled towards the Library, but jumped off just before arriving. When climbing out of the railway, they saw a gate …

…with strange looking talking heads. The group approached them, then the heads started speaking to them questioning them of where they were going. One of the children replied :“We are looking for the Library”. All of a sudden the heads started shouting out different directions.

The group then realised that the heads were trying to confuse them. They all decided they could not believe what the heads were telling them, so they decided to ignore them. Nicos realized that one of the heads seemed sincere and decided to follow his directions taking everyone with him.

``I didn't disturb you. You called me’, Katharina explained. The group saw the smoke arising amongst the books and rapidly ran that direction.

When they arrived they found Katharina with the witches. `Could you please help us, we are trying to find our friend Laura, who has been trapped in a book somewhere in this Library’. ‘If you want our help you must prove your intelligence; you can do this by answering three quizzes, ‘’the witches replied.

The first question is: ( 3x7) =?

The second question is to translate this: `` Η δεύτερη ένδειξη είναι να βρεθεί στο δεύτερο όροφο του μουσείου Pitt που θα σας βοηθήσει να ανοίξετε … ‘’

The third and final task is to answer this question: ``Who travelled on the Beagle to study the evolution of the species? ``

‘When you have the answers that prove your knowledge, return here. Remember, you only have two hours.’ Running towards the museum they divided into three groups: one group to work on the maths problem, the second on the translation, and the last to look for the answer to the third quiz.

At the totem pole they met up and exchanged information. ‘The answer to the maths problem is 333.’

The translation from Greek is … `The second clue is to be found on the second floor of the Rivers Pitt museum that is going to help you open … ‘

The science question brought us to the Darwin`s exhibition.

The group rushed back to where the witches were and gave them the answers. The witches said: `You are running out of time to save Laura. We will help you find her, because you have proved your intelligence; but remember, we can only reverse the spell for two months’.

‘To keep Laura alive and a teenager you must follow the treasure map in her possession. You will find the first clue for the treasure map at the Totem pole’.

When the group reached the totem, it woke up and said: `Please do not hurt me, I will give you the first clue’. “Go to the East where the sun rises”.

They started to think and realized that the answer to the first clue would take them to Turkey. ``I guess we are going to Turkey. ``

Will our friends be able to find the treasure that will keep Laura alive?
