Colmar, Christmas night 1962. Auguste Kessler, master gingerbread maker, had promised that the twenty-fourth door of his Advent calendar would reveal, after Midnight Mass, who would take over the House and the recipe. When the family comes home from Saint-Martin, he is lying dead in his workshop, and door 24 is empty. You are Inspector Klein's team. The witnesses did not look at their watches: they remember a carol, a story on the radio. His granddaughter copied down twenty-three letters out of twenty-four. And the courtyard, under the snow, kept only one trail.
What's included

- ✓10 days of portal access, counted from your first opening, not from the purchase
- ✓The full solution online, which opens once you have named the culprit
The Christmas case in the catalogue, for families from age 12: an Advent calendar to be read the way you read a book, a radio that does not keep to the newspaper's times, and a snowy courtyard that remembers footsteps. The solution is not in the PDF: it lives on a portal that your code opens.
