But Jude's stolen prize was protected by a curse which threatens to wreak havoc on the family business.

When Claude's little sister, Amity, runs off in forbidden Badwell Woods—where children disappear—Deliah, Sam and Claude follow her to a mysterious mansion.

Not long after they find a terrified Amity, hiding from 'ghosts', the floor beneath their feet starts to twist and turn: the rooms are changing places. The house has rearranged itself like a giant Rubik's cube. To escape, they must solve the puzzle—and the century-old mystery of a girl who disappeared.
