Strange Signs in the Snow
The ski holiday became the strongest trail so far: sparkly wool, sheep stickers, messages and signs that someone had been nearby recently, but never quite in time to be seen.
Briefing
What Isabella and Isaac know
The ski holiday became the strongest trail so far: sparkly wool, sheep stickers, messages and signs that someone had been nearby recently, but never quite in time to be seen.
The important part is not to decide too quickly. A Magic Sheep clue should be interesting enough to save, but mysterious enough to wonder about.
Folded note
Mystery note
Every search ended with no sheep, no neat hoofprint trail and no final explanation. The signs looked intentional, but the case stayed open.
The case stays open because the signs are interesting, gentle and not quite finished explaining themselves.
Official position
The investigation remains open
There is currently insufficient evidence to confirm the existence of Magic Sheep. However, wool has been found, messages have appeared, stickers have been discovered, several adventures have occurred, and nobody has provided a convincing alternative explanation.

The Discovery of the Magic Sheep
First clues
Isabella first became interested after a magical sheep story. Then grown-ups began remembering oddly similar details: shy sheep, kind hearts, and signs that never quite proved anything.

The Kind-Hearted Rule
A hidden note
A message said Magic Sheep are extremely shy and only like being near people who are kind-hearted, caring and helpful. That made the whole investigation feel more personal.

The Great Ski Holiday Investigation
Ski week overview
The ski holiday became the closest Isabella and Isaac have come to finding Magic Sheep. Not a sighting, not proof, but a whole chain of snow clues that kept appearing just before or just after anyone was looking.
