The Lantern Festival Case

Created and Curated by Ken Holm

Taipei, the night before the Lantern Festival. Your grandmother's shop in old Dadaocheng is full of paper lanterns, and the best of all is her great golden dragon. In the morning, its hook is empty. You and your twin brother Kai have one day, a pocketful of clues, and an EasyCard to find it before the lanterns are lit.
