Game Summary

Ganked from the book summary, let's revise it to make sense for the game :)

Meet The Undercover Kids... Katie, Jake, and their dog, Cooper. As they explore their aunt’s farm, they find a SECRET HOLE in the back of the barn. They travel across the ocean to Holland. Cooper gets lost. They meet an EVIL WAITER. And they realize getting home is harder than they thought. For the kids in your life order a copy of The Undercover Kids Holland Adventure to find the missing pieces.

Rough conversation summarizing:
We have a farm map and in the back there is a manhole where this random dude Dirk from holland is and he tells them that if you have this wristband you can use the manhole, in the hole that he's in, you can travel to other places. So the kids play in the attic and find this talking chest that has all these goodies in it, including the band and so then they can travel to Holland. The ideas for Holland are in the works but an idea is that their dog gets lost and they have to find it.
I was thinking it would be neat to have to unravel clues to try to find the dog, like work as a detective to put together stuff found that clues you in and also since hirato has his NPCs in the new RPG where they have different levels of friendliness, maybe you know someone knows something but since they don't know you they won't give you the info. Help them out though and they are more willing to talk.
