Dubai, United Arab Emirates
With the presents for the Istanbul staff duly delivered yesterday, Sparky and Santa wasted no time in getting airborne again. They settled into their seats for the flight to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Santa skilfully parked the sleigh on the roof of one of Dubai’s glittering skyscrapers. But just as they were about to get off and start distributing the presents, they realised that the sleigh’s cooling unit was out of order because the magical ice cubes were not working as they should. And without the magical ice cubes, all the fancy chocolates destined for the Dubai office would melt! This had to be prevented at all costs!
Somewhat haphazardly, Sparky began to open some boxes marked “TECH”, but initially drew a blank. Then he noticed a smaller box tucked away under a pile of others at the back of the sleigh. His interest piqued, he reached out, grabbed it and proceeded to open the box. Inside, he found the following message: “You must decipher the code to get the magical ice cubes to work again.”
