All is not well in StoryWorld… not well at all! The dastardly Story Thief is at large and causing havoc! He has been taking well-loved story characters and putting them in the wrong StoryWorld. Poor old Puss in Boots is lost in The Jungle Book, Cinderella’s shoe has been stolen by Robin Hood, the Queen of Hearts has put Goldilocks in jail at the back of the croquet ground, and the Gingerbread Man has been eaten by Hansel and Gretel!
The Hive has been contacted by Sherlock Holmes - yes that’s right, even the great Sherlock Holmes can’t figure this one out! He’s looking for a group of detectives to help him crack the case, and we reckon we know just where to find them.
Have you got what it takes to join Team Sherlock and catch the Story Thief? There’ll be challenges from the White Rabbit, croquet competitions, witches to escape from, jungles to survive and Mad Hatter tea parties to endure! Prove your archery skills to impress Robin Hood and you might just get an invite to join the Merry Men! You’ll also have the chance to create your own story by chronicling your quest to catch the thief.
This case is of the utmost urgency, we must act fast before all our favourite fairy tales turn into fairy tragedies! If you think you can handle the heat, then be sure to bring your best detective skills as you work alongside the brilliant Sherlock Holmes to give these stories the happily-ever-afters they deserve!
