A vibrant and stylish activity book and the fourth title in the series, filled with mazes and search-and-find challenges.
This book features 15 brilliantly intricate mazes. Trace your way through each maze, search for hidden objects, spot clues and solve extra mystery challenges as a key member of the maze detective team!
The series has sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into 30 languages.
In different pages, the audience can find different details in each maze scene based on layered stories which took IC4DESIGN for 3 years to finish.
It was a very long journey to develop the idea from the rough sketch step by step to the final publications.
