La Corriveau, the witch, is preparing her mythical riddles. Take along your horseshoe, four-leaf clover and rabbit foot : you’ll need all the luck you can get to foil her booby-trapped games.


 

THE SPOILS OF THE SOLDIER

A great mystery is being played out in Martello Tower 2. A treasury may be hidden there. Unravel the military plots and load up the clues. Keep your eyes open and your mind alert for the spoils may be within your reach.  At attention!!!  Or rather… Watch out!

THE SOLDIER'S DRILL

Get your guns, soldiers! The enemy is waiting outside our walls. Time is running out at the Martello Tower. You have only two hours to learn how to load a gun, make cartridges, load a cannon and become acquainted with a soldier’s garb and military discipline… Whew! Will you be ready on time?

 



THE CURSE

The Plains of Abraham have fallen under a terrible spell. Your job is to unravel one by one the strings of this evil spell by solving the riddles, puzzles, mysteries and secret codes surrounding this curse.
