Adventní kalendář 2023 bude!

Často v poslední době slýcháme jednu opakující se otázku. Pokud bychom parafrázovali slavný český film, tak by vypadala asi takto: “Nezlobte se, že vás zase obtěžujeme, ale my jsme se nezeptali, jestli máte zase kalendář. Máte na letošek adventní kalendář? A mohli bychom ho vidět?”

Novinky o hrách

Konec Výletů za šiframi

Jak jsme již delší dobu avizovali, všechny tři hry z knížky Výlety za šiframi, jsou nyní ukončené. Proč se tak stalo a co dělat, pokud knihu máte a hry jste nestihli, se dočtete níže. Rozhodně nemusíte zoufat, od jara (pokud vše půjde dobře) bychom dvě z her chtěli spustit znovu a samostatně. Ke hrám se tedy konečně dostanou i ti, co knihu nemají!

Prázdninové cestování

Přejeme krásné letní dny! Ať už máte odpočinek za sebou, zrovna balíte nebo pilně pracujete a schováváte si volno na poslední týden letních prázdnin. K bazénu nebo oceánu, na chatu, pod stan nebo do přímořského letoviska… posíláme jednu letní cestovatelskou šifru. Protože šifrování není nikdy dost.
