8 curated questions
Jigsaw Jones and his partner, Mila Ye, are private detectives. Their first case comes from their classmate, Ralphie, whose pet hamster, Hermie, has gone missing from his cage. Jigsaw and Mila visit Ralphie's house to investigate. They carefully look for clues, finding a hole in Hermie's cage and a trail of sunflower seeds. Following the seeds, they search Ralphie's messy room and eventually find Hermie safe and sound, having made a cozy nest inside a shoe in a closet. Ralphie is delighted to have his hamster back, and Jigsaw and Mila successfully solve their first mystery.
