Thank you so much for this wonderful family gift! You saved us a huge amount of time and gave us a ready-made way to entertain everyone before the holidays. Our child completed each task with real enthusiasm and learned so much about different winter traditions. On the final day he kept asking if the adventure could continue!

We did this Advent home mystery with our kids (9 and 12), and it was such a fun experience. The children (and even the adults) learned a bunch of surprising facts about Christmas and New Year traditions from different countries, all wrapped into a playful, game-style format. The kids looked forward to a new Message and task every day. I also loved that the challenges can be adjusted by age and difficulty, so both our younger and older child stayed equally engaged. It’s a really fun way to learn something new together and make the holiday countdown more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Description
For years, Dr. Wondermaker worked at the Holiday Factory, spreading joy and light across the world.
But one winter, drained of energy, he brewed a magical elixir to become more efficient — and accidentally awakened his darker side: Dr. Wonderbreaker.
Driven by pride and resentment, Wonderbreaker created the New Year Apocalypse, a device designed to erase holiday cheer from the world.
When Wondermaker returned to his senses, he was horrified. He secretly began building a counter-device — The Deactivator — to restore celebration and joy.
But just before it was completed, the Deactivator exploded, and its pieces scattered around the globe.
Now your child becomes the hero in this festive escape-style adventure!
Each day of this 14-day Escape-Advent, your child receives a letter from one of Wondermaker’s eccentric scientist friends around the world.
Every letter brings a new challenge — inspired by real-world winter traditions — to collect a missing piece of the Deactivator.
From riddles to audio clues, DIY crafts to clever games, this printable kit combines interactive storytelling, hands-on creativity, and global holiday discovery.
