Scene Breakdown (Spoiler-Light)

The pack focuses on three distinct Asian locales:

  1. The Night Market (Dec 27): Set in a bustling Taiwanese night market after hours. Look for "Ancestral Tablets" hidden among the food stalls—they are often camouflaged against wooden signage.
  2. The Silent Pagoda (Dec 28): A vertical-scrolling puzzle. The trickiest find here is the Jade Cricket, which blends into the moss on the lower-left stone lantern.
  3. The Kintsugi Studio (Bonus): Unlocked by finishing both days. You are searching for broken pottery pieces among gold-veined artifacts. The "Missing Handle" is frequently mistaken for a chopstick rest.
