The Last Christmas Present
A scavenger hunt in words by JG Heithcock
Release 3 / Serial number 220926 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.34 lib 6/12N) SD

Great Room
A great fir tree stretches up to the ceiling, covered in ornaments and illuminated with twinkling lights. Wrapping paper and presents are strewn about.

Behind you, to the south is the Kitchen.

A curved set of stairs leads upwards to the Balcony that runs around the Great Room.

Two glass french doors open up to the entrance to the front garden to the west.

An archway leads east down to the Guest Hall.

The wooden box sits amidst the wrapping papers, closed.

>open box
You open the wooden box, revealing a Map.

>x map
As you take the map from the box, you see it is a single long sheet of paper, carefully folded on the left and right sides. Each folded section seems to be part of an area of this house.

The first page of the map

Folded up like an accordion, it looks like the Marauder's map, but instead of the castle of Hogwarts, you recognize your house. There is a tiny banner with 44 Westwind on it. Where your tree house would be, there is a tree formed out of words like the whomping willow.

There are more folds underneath.

Luna struts in and sits down in a corner, watching the proceedings.

>unfold map
You unfold the left and right sides of the Map and see...

The second page of the map

The map shows what appears to be the grounds around the house. You can see a tiny version of the house, with its tiny banner, next to a miniature whomping willow.

Below the house are lines of words, flowing around a dark section labeled The Dark Forest - clearly the Briones Hills behind your house.

There are more folds underneath.


>unfold map

The third page of the map

The lines are formed from words, some made up, some are the name of the object drawn. The center of the map has a drawing of the waterfall, with steps going up beside it. On the right side of the map is the edge of the house with the entrance to the garden and two alcoves, to the south and north. On the far left, to the east, is the archway that goes to the road. On the bottom, to the south, are the curved steps leading to the garage.

There are more folds underneath.

The fourth page of the map

The lines of the fourth page show the Great Room and the Kitchen (marked House Elves Only on the map). Where the Christmas tree would be, there is a large label with the words "The Great Room".

Underneath that label, to the south, is what looks like a paramecium made from the words "Kitchen Island" repeated over and over. It is labeled "House Elves Only". 
On the left, to the west is the doors to the front garden, labeled "Porticus Imago".

On the right, to the east, are the steps leading down to what would be the Guest Hallway with the steps up to the Balcony beneath.

In the bottom right corner of the Kitchen area is a curved room labeled "The Cauldron Cupboard" that looks like it would be the larder. At the bottom is a round circle labeled "Flue Network" where the Pizza Oven would be.

In the bottom left corner is a label "Way to the Forbidden Forest".

There are more folds underneath.

The fifth page of the map

The map shows part of the upstairs. The left side, to the north, is a diagram of a room labeled The Study. Next to it is a diagram of your bedroom, marked Morgan's Room. There is also an odd shaped area next to your bedroom marked The Room of Requirement and some other smaller areas.

There are more folds underneath.

The last page of the map

The last page of the map looks like your Papa's office. The stairs going down to it has a label that reads the Restricted Section. The bar has the label Potions Room. His office is labeled the Room of Secrets. In the corner, where the aquarium would be, is a label for the "Grindylow".

The middle of the map is a square made of two flaps. The top says Hogwarts School of, the bottom says Witchcraft & Wizardry.


>unfold flaps
You pull apart the top and bottom flaps.

The top flap has what looks like a riddle written on it, the bottom has what appear to be clues, in the middle you see....

Sixteen paper arrows form a ring looking very much like a wind rose. The center of the wind rose has a single letter N with an arrow pointing up. It looks as if the actual rose is missing.


>read riddle
 Four snitches hold the secret
  to where your treasure is hid.
 Four winds blew them far away
  and through the house they have slid.
 This map you hold will help you
  if you search on every grid.
 Assemble the clues below
   and always be intrepid.


Let the snitch hunt begin!

>read clues
 A stern north-northeaster blew your first clue up-and-away to hide.

 The fourth escaped outside, following this house's namesake, the west wind.


>unfold flaps
There seems to be something written on the other side of the clues. Some advice perhaps?

>read advice
 For the first clue, you might need to ask Neville's help, he really gets it.
 For the second clue, Dobby would tell you to tickle a pear.
 For the third clue, Fred and George point to someone 'Pacing in his study'.
 For the fourth clue, Mrs. Weasely likes to listen to Celestina Warbeck for inspiration.

>fold flaps
You fold the advice flap back down.

You can make out the following letters:
 "     illum           the re           ction             ry."

You can also see a regular oven and a microwave here.

Mama peeks in and offers you an encouraging smile and then leaves.

Great Room
A great fir tree stretches up to the ceiling, covered in ornaments and illuminated with twinkling lights. Wrapping paper and presents are strewn about.

Behind you, to the south is the Kitchen (marked House Elves Only on the map).

An archway leads east down to the Guest Hall.

Dash is batting a toy mouse.

Two glass french doors (marked Porticus Imago on the map) open up to the entrance to the front garden to the west.

A curved set of stairs leads upwards to the Balcony that runs around the Great Room.

The wooden box sits amidst the wrapping papers, open.

Guest Hall
A short hallway with steps going back up to the Great Room to the west, a guest room to the south and a guest bathroom to the north. At the end of the hallway, to the east, is a bookshelf that goes from floor to ceiling.

The archway leads back up into the great room to the west.

Sam is watching you expectantly.

On the bookshelf is a brown book (in which is a final clue).

A big room, with a comfy chair and steps leading down to the bathroom.

Still in the box, now silent.

As you open the box, you see it is even in your favorite color!
