We loved solving Japan so much we went back to the kiosk and asked if we could solve the other country they were testing that day, which was Germany. In Germany, Professor Dementor has created a mind controlling pretzel and everyone who eats one becomes a zombie who wonders around aimlessly like they are on vacation. Must have been a lot of customers! :) Your assignment is to figure out a tune that can be played that will reverse the mind control.

Your first location takes you to a miniature village that is plagued by giant squirrels. When you arrive at your location it triggers the clock on the church in the center of the town to light up and chime and various people in the village raise their hands like zombies and their eyes glow red…

While we were here two gentlemen noticed the chimes and lights on the church and kept watching it to see if it would do it again. I wonder how long they waited? I think that is the best part of this adventure. When something happens other people who are not on the adventure can’t figure out why things are happening. :) The next location was a store that has a display of beer steins over a mantle. When you are there it triggers the beer steins to start singing. Again… a lady was just taking a picture of the steins as they started singing. She jumped and wasn’t sure if she had done something….

The next location leads you to the toy store, Der Teddybear, where you trigger a train above you that has a coded message lit up on its back car…

The next location takes you to a cuckoo clock store where you have to find the correct clock display which triggers this clock to start up giving Wade more notes to figure out the correct tune needed.

Now we are back outside where we have to find a snack area and we are asked to give an answer as to what is on a particular shield. The next location we have to find is the Christmas store where we have to look for a display of nutcrackers. The large nutcracker in the middle lifts the lid of the gift he is standing on revealing the final notes needed.

Last stop is to play the correct tune and stop Professor Dementor. Once you find a particular window and stand looking across the street at the candy shop the doors above the shop open to reveal a German girl chasing Professor Dementor trying to hit him on the head….

Now that the world is safe once again, we are sent to a barrel to return our communicator…

I am hoping while we are still here for a few more days that we will be able to stumble upon another testing. I would love to solve a couple more countries and the kids are all anxious for more as well. All in all it was definitely the most fun we have had as a family at Epcot. When it is open there will be 7 countries that you can solve. For us, each country took about 30 minutes to solve.
