Meet The Alchemist
It all started with a cabinet of curiosities.
Since it's launch in 2021, The Alchemist Series has grown into our most popular puzzle series. The enigmatic Alchemist invites you into her Victorian style home, loft library, cozy kitchen, and now her peaceful orchard. Along the way you may find her playful companions Marmalade and Bandit. Where will we see her next?
