However, very strange things are happening around this villa. The nearby town is all but abandoned from fear of the dead who appear to rise from the graves at night. Mystery Inc. must investigate to set things right!

ALPINE:
The Mystery Inc. gang arrives at the cold and blizzarding Howling Peaks in the Alpine mountains intent on spending some time with Daphne’s cousin. But it seems there is another mystery brewing. Naturally, Mystery Inc. is straight on the case! The ski slopes have been closed due to a local legend supposedly coming to life. Worse yet, mysterious pests are scaring all the tourists away!
