Description

This time, things are getting really wild: A real alien has landed on Earth, right in the middle of the Planetary Discovery Trail in Terfens. Only by teaming up with Karwendolin and Karla Wendel can he be saved. Along the way, you’ll encounter tricky puzzles, funny dialogues, and a mission that spans Earth and space.
Along the way, you’ll learn a lot about our solar system: the planets and their distances from the Sun are depicted to scale, and information boards explain the details.
