About this edition
This year, as part of the competition, the competitors faced the story of Ethan Rosenberg, a child who went missing under mysterious circumstances. Ethan was last seen by his mother in the evening. There is no trace of him. As a group of investigators, the teams had to find out what happened to the little boy as quickly as possible.
The participants of this edition already know how this story turned out and, of course, how it ended. However, if you are reading this in the future and you don't know the story yet, you and your team can experience this story at any time and try to solve the mystery. Find out more in the Our Games and Rules tabs!
