Team Moneybag: Sa Majesté des Mouches a bright blue book relaxing in it's very own bright blue hammock, under a bright blue sky... but not for long, already caught! Not so much luck for Das böse Mädchen, as they got lost on the way to the release spot.... but eventually found a pointer to give them the right direction
Team Racecar: Vilsen i världen (Lost in the World) so that all those lost travelling tourists know they are not alone
Team Thimble: Lalu lalula, arme kleine Ophelia hanging out over the edge of a bog. Das Feuermal (Port Wine stain, or literally Fire Stain) left in a water fountain near the fire station, so we can be sure the fire does not spread
Team Tophat: Playing for Pizza plays the organ in a pizza joint (it's trendier than playing the piano in a gin joint)

Team Train: Change the World for Ten Bucks should help you square up your karma whatever your budget
Team Iron gone Quackers
Team Tulip: The Bellmaker rings the bell for the London Olympics from the Helsinki Olympic stadium
Team Wolf: Meine Tage als Spitzenreiter. Letzte Wahrheiten über Fußball got taken to see the football
