In the kit (25 pages)

A long, demanding escape game for 10 to 12 year olds. The Frostling has hacked NORD-OS, the North Pole's central computer: the workshop is blocked, the reindeer have forgotten how to fly, the present factory is switched off. The ethical hackers decode binary, crack a Vigenère cipher, search the Yeti's grid, put the reindeer back in order, reveal a pixel picture and get through an arrow firewall. Each password is typed into a real online terminal (on a computer, tablet or phone), which repairs a module and gives the information needed for the next level. Without internet, terminal cards let the adult play the computer. Full guide, graded hints, illustrated solutions, badges, invitations, a little cybersecurity handbook and certificates.

In the kit

  • The Game Master guide and a page to adjust the difficulty
  • The online NORD-OS terminal, and its cards to play without internet
  • 12 hint cards with a fold-over flap
  • The Frostling's message and Santa's mission order
  • 6 levels: binary code, Vigenère cipher (with its square), Yeti grid, reindeer order, pixel picture, arrow firewall
  • The final reset and the "System restored" page
  • Hacker notebook, restore board, 6 access badges, 4 invitations
  • The little cybersecurity handbook, the certificate and the illustrated solutions

Frequently asked questions

Will I receive anything in the mail?

No, these are PDF files. You get them right after payment and print them at home, as many times as you like.

How do I add my child's name?

Open the PDF in any reader (Adobe Reader, your computer's or phone's built-in viewer), click the “Name” box, type it, then print. You can also write it by hand.

What ages is it for?

Ages 4 to 8. Younger kids follow along with a grown-up reading the texts aloud; older kids read on their own and do many of the activities independently.

Does it take a lot of preparation?

No. Just once at the start, 10 to 15 minutes: print and cut. After that, a few minutes per evening depending on the kit. The exact time is shown at the top of each page.

What if we miss an evening?

No problem: the next day, your child simply opens two envelopes. Nothing stops the story from going on.

More questions (8)
When should I buy it?

Whenever you like: the PDF arrives instantly by email and you print it when it suits you, even on the evening of November 30 for a December 1 start.

What language are the files in?

Every purchase includes the English, French and German versions.

What if I lose my files?

The link in your confirmation email stays valid. Lost it? On the “Find my kits” page, enter your email address and we will send it again.

I didn't receive the email. What should I do?

First check your spam folder or the "Promotions" tab: our shop is brand new and some email providers are still cautious. Add commandes@minuitmerveilles.com to your contacts for future emails. Still nothing? On the "Find my kits" page, enter your address and we'll resend your links. Your files can also be downloaded from the page shown right after payment.

Can I download on my phone?

Yes. The link works on phones, tablets and computers. To print, open the PDF on the device connected to your printer.

How do I print it well?

Choose “Actual size” or “100%” in your print settings. Black and white is fine. For the cards, slightly thicker paper (60 lb / 160 gsm) holds up better.

I'm a teacher. Can I use it in class?

Yes, with the classroom license: choose “Classroom (30 pupils)” on the kit page. You print for your whole class and receive an invoice for your school.

Can I get a refund?

Yes: if a kit isn't right for you, write to us within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked. A file that won't open is of course replaced or refunded.
