Midnight Observatory Mystery Adventure Kit
Midnight Observatory Mystery Excavation Adventure Kit
The sky is changing. The observatory's patterns are scrambled. Look closer.
Midnight Observatory Mystery invites young Explorers into a desert observatory where the next clue is written in the sky.
Kids begin with a six-lesson online science adventure. Explore Sun, Earth, and Moon models, follow shifting shadows, and rebuild a month of Moon observations. Compare daylight records and star charts to recover the observatory's final coordinates.
Then comes the excavation finale. Open the kit to uncover six assorted geological specimens, compare their features, and match each find to one of six specimen Discovery Cards. After the discoveries have been identified, open the sealed Gemling Mystery Mix blind bag to reveal one surprise collectible Gemling.
Enjoy the six-compartment dig as one big discovery experience or save compartments for smaller celebrations after lessons. Every theme uses the same geological specimen collection. Assortments vary and are not selected to match the online lesson topics.
