Can you escape the sinking Titanic? Find out in this exhilarating
adventure puzzle book as you make your way up the decks, solving
problems and meeting a cast of characters on your journey to
survival! As the book begins you are a young traveller hiding on
the lowest deck of the Titanic. You stowed away on the ship out of
a desire for adventure, and a fascination with its construction,
its awe and glamour. As soon as you become aware that it’s
sinking you must make your way up through the decks of the ship,
dodging danger and avoiding capture, and solving puzzles as you go,
from visual quandaries to codes to crack, at one point even finding
all the details in a passenger’s cabin that would allow you to
temporarily impersonate them. Each deck constitutes a separate
chapter, with many individual puzzles connecting to a single final
puzzle you must solve to move up to the next deck. As you journey
through the Titanic you will encounter other passengers and members
of the crew, some helpful, some hostile, and many simply trying to
make their own escape, and you may find puzzles to solve within
your interactions with them. Will you be able to save any other
passengers as you make your escape? The vivid illustrations and
visually striking puzzles evoke the luxuriant setting and stylish
art and design of the time, and helps bring the exciting narrative
to life. ​Visual puzzles might involve manipulation of mechanical
aspects of the ship or decoding something found in documents, while
the textual puzzles can move from logical deduction to riddles and
mathematical quandaries. Â Puzzles build on each other as
your adventure nears its dramatic finale, and surprising clues
appear as you attempt to find your way onto a lifeboat, but will
you make it off the sinking ship? Or perhaps you may even choose to
make the ultimate sacrifice, so that another may live in your
place. This thrilling and tense adventure puzzle book will keep you
on the edge of your seat as you battle to escape with your life!
