Coordinate a great escape—speedy flight, Scouts!
Oh no! Your team has fallen into a Pixie Portal and it has transported you far off course to the Fairy Fortress, where you’ve all become captives. Fairies are a crafty folk, and they’ve offered to release you—if you can outsmart them.
How will you escape the Fairy Fortress or outsmart them to earn your release and get back on track with your Quest?
Put your thinking into play to coordinate your great escape!
