Recap

Professor Acorn is an eccentric but very kindly old lady who lives alone at her little cottage in Bimpton Wood. Professor Acorn used to be a teacher but last year she decided she wanted to be an inventor. And since her retirement she has invented exactly one machine. But what a machine! You have probably heard of it… because really almost everyone has by now…

The Marvellous Banana-o-matic Deluxe!

Rumours say that soon it will go into production and then all of us will have access to unlimited bananas all day, all ways! Want a banana, early in the morning? You got it! Want a slice of banana bread with your cup of tea? Press the button and it’s all yours! A banana split as a midnight snack? Don’t be silly… but of COURSE you can have that too. Unlimited bananas for everyone!

And how much does this fantastic unlimited banana machine cost, you ask? Well that’s the best part. Professor Acorn is going to give them away for free. I did say she was a very kindly lady.

But when Professor Acorn’s daughter Wendy went to visit her mother in her little cottage in Bimpton Wood… she wasn’t there. Instead she found a small handwritten note (see below).

Your task is to help Wendy find her mother. Once you start, you have one hour to call Melissa Goodbanana with the special banana password and save mankind from a life without bananas! Best of luck!

The note:

To whom it may concern,

We at Big Banana simply cannot allow this banana bonanza to continue. We have sworn a solemn oath to protect the secrets of the banana and are holding Professor Acorn captive until she, or anyone she knows, provides us with the special banana password.

You have one hour from reading this note or we’ll destroy the plans for the Marvellous Banana-o-matic Deluxe – we’re watching you!

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Yours,

Big Banana
