Ages 6–8

When Emma visits his uncle in a mountain village, he must solve number puzzles and learn words in a new language to find the hidden path back home.

Emma arrives at the mountain house. Uncle Silas greets him with a smile. They have a secret mission today! To find the path, Emma must learn the mountain way.

First, they find a sign. Uncle Silas says the word in the local language: Unu. It means one! Emma touches the first stone. He is ready to learn.

They walk further up the path. Two birds fly overhead. Uncle Silas says: Doi. Emma counts two feathers on the ground. He smiles at the new sound.
