While rummaging through the attic for hats, masks, and capes, they stumble upon an old memory box. Inside are trinkets, old photographs, and a faded postcardfrom Ghoulias parents! They embarked on a voyage long ago but never returned from their trip. Where could they have possibly ended up
Its time to put on some sleuthing gear; finding out will require detective skills and a lot of imagination!
