Merlin Mystery Solution: Part 11
The Merlin Mystery prize wand
Go to the Merlin Mystery Solution Index.
This is Part 11 of my solution to The Merlin Mystery by Jonathan Gunson and Marten Coombe.
This post provides the full list of 75 solution objects in their correct order. It also confirms which page of the book each object comes from to make it easier to check.
Obtaining this list can take several hours of work turning back and forth through the book, even when you know exactly what you’re doing.
