In Volume 2, you’ll follow Mary Godwin, Percy Shelley, and Claire Claremont to a ball at Castle Frankenstein (yes, Castle Frankenstein was a real place). You’ll construct a 500-piece circular puzzle of the castle floorplan in order to work out just what happened that fateful evening.

Then you’ll have to solve a set of fiendish puzzles in order to learn how to construct the elaborate origami roofs for the various castle buildings. Finally, you’ll progress through a series of “advent calendar”–style diary entries while searching out details in the castle, each time placing a new window into the 3D puzzle. By the time you’ve finished, you’ll have finally learned Mary’s terrible secret…and created a beautiful object you just might want to keep on your mantle forever.
