TOP 2: A slightly sticky curse

The Humachai and the Curse of the Invisible Flower

This morning, a strange silence filled the valley. A great misfortune has occurred: Voloi did not wake up... and he disappeared. Since then, the water in the well has turned black. The Humachai, the protective spirits of the place, are frozen in stone. No more singing, no more color. Everything seems suspended. But there remains hope... Your backpack Adventure-Games®.

Inside you will find everything you need to carry out this mission. You will have to observe, solve puzzles, explore the places, and above all, never give up.

To save the Humachai, you will have to:

  • Find Voloï's trail,
  • Pick the invisible flower,
  • Find the diamond stone.

Each step brings you a little closer to the truth. But be careful, only those who know how to open their eyes—and their imagination—will triumph. Take the hand of those who accompany you. For families, take up the challenges, share your ideas, be curious. Because maybe, just maybe, if you succeed... the well water will turn blue again, and the Humachai will come back to life. The story is in your hands. Will you be the heroes of this adventure?
