Summary
Three adventurous kids—Maisy, Max, and Leo—ignore village warnings and explore the mysterious Grindlewood forest, where they stumble upon a hidden, ancient Museum of Marvels. Inside, they discover astonishing exhibits from across history, only to realise the museum is far from ordinary when the displays begin to move, whisper, and come frighteningly alive. As the museum turns chaotic and dangerous, the children are forced to rely on quick thinking, teamwork, and courage to survive the nightmarish galleries, uncovering clues about why the museum exists and why it was hidden, all while racing to escape before the forest’s darkest secrets catch up with them.

| 0:22.4 | The shadows, they move, |
| 0:26.3 | and people say there's something hidden deep inside. |
| 0:32.3 | Maisie Max and their cousin Leo weren't the kind of kids who ran away from warnings. |
| 0:36.0 | They were the kind of kids who ran straight into them. |
| 0:39.8 | It was the first week of summer holidays, no school, |
