Read the storybook that is with her there. A digital copy of the story book is displayed on the website. Follow the steps to solve the riddles to find the trolls.
When you find each troll, look at the necklace around its neck. The necklace has a number on it and a symbol. The symbol corresponds to a letter in the troll alphabet cited in the book on Page 4. The number corresponds to the placement order of the letter in a word.
When you collect all the letters from the troll necklaces and put them in the right order, it will spell a word. That word reveals the name of the symbol on the map on Page 4 of the story. This symbol signifies where the hidden secret Golden Rabbit is located.
