However, Momo has become a bit bored of this daily routine and wishes to go on an adventure. Momo always wished to travel to New York City, which is much different from Momo's home. When a booming voice from the mountains announces "Leave these mountains, Momo. Go forth and explore! An adventure awaits you. One never seen before," Momo gets that chance.
It doesn't take long for Momo to learn where to go. Uncle Yeti-a friendly giant with insatiable hunger-has sent a postcard asking for help. He asks Momo "Please come and find me in New York City! I need your help! I am lost, I am hungry, and while you're here, you'll explore a new country. Surely you can find me in this big city." It's now up to Momo to travel across the world with Momo's little magic box and use some handy puzzle-solving skills to find Uncle Yeti in an unforgettable adventure.
