After a series of strange occurrences in the Cusco Valley, the villagers reached have out to Professor Branch to help.

Legend speaks of an ancient artefact, the Inti Amaru, which would give the holder powers of light and dark and the ability to rule over the Incan lands.

The evil ‘El Sombrero’ is searching for the Inti Amaru and the locals are terrified of what might happen if he were to find it.

Professor Branch has located a temple that he believes holds the artefact, but it is protected by 7 Locks, each of which must be opened in order to gain access.

Using the information and media provided, the students can help Prof B solve the clues to the locks and save the Cusco Valley.
