Bombay is a city bursting with color, movement, and unfamiliar sounds—an entirely new world for Passepartout.

Stepping off the steamer, he’s eager to explore, his curious spirit leading him away from the rigid schedule of his master.

With hours to spare before their next departure, he wanders through the lively streets, soaking in the exotic sights and sounds with wide-eyed enthusiasm.

But adventure has its price. Drawn into a temple out of innocent curiosity, Passepartout quickly discovers that not all places welcome wandering foreigners. In his ignorance, he offends sacred customs and is violently chased from the grounds, barely escaping with his dignity—and without his shoes.

Shaken but unharmed, he returns to Fogg just in time for their train, grateful to have escaped more serious trouble.

What seemed like a harmless stroll became a narrow escape, and Passepartout begins to understand just how far from home they truly are. The journey is no longer just about time—it’s about survival, adaptation, and learning when to speak, and when to simply observe.

SIMPLE INDIAN CHAPATI (FLATBREAD)

Chapati is a soft, unleavened Indian flatbread that’s been a staple across the region for centuries. This recipe offers a taste of the journey Fogg takes, connecting us to the story through the warmth of handmade bread. Making chapati is about working with simple ingredients and turning them into something nourishing and adaptable—deeply rooted in Indian culture.

Phileas Fogg has planned every leg of his journey with precision, counting on trains, ships, and timetables to carry him swiftly across the globe. But in the heart of India, his carefully crafted schedule is suddenly thrown into chaos.

The train line, expected to continue beyond a certain point, simply ends. The railway is unfinished—and Fogg is not a man who tolerates delays.

While other passengers panic or give up, Fogg remains calm. With time ticking away, he searches for an alternative and finds it in the most unexpected form: an elephant. Not just any elephant, but a powerful, intelligent creature named Kiouni.

And though the price is outrageous, Fogg does not hesitate. Time is more valuable than money, and the journey must continue.

With Passepartout clinging nervously behind and a guide leading the way, Fogg presses on through the jungle atop this unusual new steed. The train may have failed him, but the adventure has only deepened. The path forward is no longer made of steel, but of dirt and wild terrain—and it will take more than punctuality to navigate what lies ahead.

ELEPHANT DECORATED FAN

This Elephant Decorated Fan craft blends the symbolism of the journey with traditional Indian motifs, offering a hands-on way to explore the chapter’s cultural and environmental themes. This fan blends the journey’s beauty and gravity into one beautiful piece of storytelling art. The elephant is not just a mode of transportation but a symbol of strength, cultural significance, and survival.

The pounding rhythm of an elephant’s steps echoes through the dense Indian forest as Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, and their newly hired guide press forward through untamed wilderness.

With no railway to rely on, they now travel through thick jungle, narrow trails, and unfamiliar terrain.

The sounds of wild animals mix with the rustling of trees as the travelers push deeper into the heart of India, their journey growing more unpredictable by the hour.

Atop the powerful Kiouni, Fogg remains calm and determined, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. But the forest holds more than just natural challenges. Hidden among the trees is a sight both haunting and horrifying—a solemn procession of armed men escorting a veiled woman to her death.

She is a young widow, destined to be sacrificed in the ritual of sati, a cruel tradition Fogg cannot ignore.

What began as a race against time suddenly becomes a battle of conscience. Fogg, usually focused on schedules and timetables, is moved to act. A daring rescue is planned, and the stakes are no longer just personal. In the shadowy depths of the forest, a new chapter unfolds—one of courage, risk, and a fight to save a life.

JUNGLE TRAIL MIX

This Jungle Trail Mix blends flavors and ingredients inspired by India’s tropical climate and vibrant spice traditions, giving a taste of the journey’s intensity and color. The ingredients reflect the region—mangoes and bananas from the tropical forests, cashews and almonds as durable sources of energy, and cardamom, one of the most aromatic spices in Indian cuisine.

Deep in the Indian jungle, with danger on every side, Phileas Fogg prepares for a daring rescue. A young woman, Aouda, is hours from being forced into a fiery ritual she did not choose. The mission is risky, the odds uncertain—but the decision is made.

They will save her. As night falls and the funeral pyre is prepared, Fogg and his companions wait in silence.

Tension hangs heavy in the air.

Then, just before the flames are lit, a figure leaps from the shadows—it’s Passepartout, bold and fearless, disguised as the dead rajah himself. Chaos erupts, confusion spreads, and in the panic, Aouda is pulled from the brink of death.

With the jungle behind them and Aouda safely in their care, the travelers press on. Passepartout, still catching his breath, has proved once again that bravery can change the course of fate.

The clock is still ticking, the journey far from over—but in this moment, fortune has smiled on the bold.

ELEPHANT RESCUE DIORAMA

Under the cover of night, Passepartout takes the ultimate risk. This Elephant Rescue Diorama captures the heart-pounding climax, where Passepartout’s quick thinking and bravery save a life. He steps out of his comic-relief role and into that of a true hero. The jungle becomes a stage for courage, risk, and timing—qualities that define the chapter’s turning point.

The journey presses on, now with three travelers instead of two. Aouda, saved from a cruel fate, joins Phileas Fogg and Passepartout as they make their way through the heart of India, riding by train along the lush valley of the Ganges.

The landscape rolls past in sweeping views—rivers, temples, and forests bathed in golden light—rich with history and wonder.

But Phileas Fogg sees none of it.

Eyes fixed on the timepiece in his hand, Fogg is unmoved by beauty, untouched by the world outside the window. Every moment is measured, every mile another tick toward or against the wager he is determined to win.

While others might marvel at the ancient cities and sacred lands they pass, Fogg remains in his seat, absorbed in the schedule, unmoved by anything that cannot be timed.

Aouda brings a warmth to their company, Passepartout a growing sense of awe. They see the wonder he misses.

And somewhere along this iron path, through a land of breathtaking majesty, the question begins to grow—what is the value of the journey if one never truly sees it?

PRESSED PLANT ART

Phileas Fogg and his companions travel through the lush landscapes of India. The beauty of the country and the vast forests they journey through are memorable elements of the adventure. Creating pressed plant art offers a way to capture the natural beauty of this setting and craft something meaningful that connects with the story’s setting.

As the train pulls into Calcutta, Phileas Fogg appears as calm and composed as ever, confident that he is precisely on schedule.

The rescue of Aouda, the trek through the jungle, even the elephant—none of it has delayed him. But just as he prepares for the next leg of the journey, a quiet voice speaks his name. It is Detective Fix, and he is not alone.

Fogg is promptly arrested. The charge? Trespassing in a sacred temple—an act committed not by him, but by Passepartout during their brief time in Bombay.

In a foreign court, among unfamiliar laws, Fogg finds his freedom suddenly—and unfairly—at risk.

The journey could end here, derailed by a misunderstanding and a man who suspects far more than he lets on.

But Fogg doesn’t argue.
He doesn’t protest.
He pays.

Without flinching, he opens his bag and lays down thousands of pounds to clear their names and buy back their time. The bag of banknotes—once reserved for expenses and emergencies—continues to grow lighter. Yet Fogg never hesitates.

To him, time is the real currency, and no price is too high to stay ahead of the clock.

PHILEAS FOGG’S BANKNOTE POUCH

Phileas Fogg’s mysterious, bottomless bag of banknotes becomes a symbol of privilege, resourcefulness, and calm confidence under pressure. With this hands-on project, you’ll create our own version of Fogg’s legendary money pouch, complete with pretend Victorian-style banknotes—perfect for games, dramatic reenactments, or as a prop. Crafting your own banknote pouch possesses limitless possibilities—the power to buy a ship, charter an elephant, or shave hours off the schedule.

With Calcutta behind them and legal troubles narrowly avoided, Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, and Aouda board a steamer bound for Hong Kong. The journey continues across the South China Sea, smooth on the surface—but tensions simmer below deck.

Detective Fix, still without a warrant and still convinced that Fogg is the elusive bank robber, sails with them, waiting for his moment.

Passepartout, ever curious and increasingly suspicious of Fix, strikes up a conversation with the detective.

He tries to understand Fix’s intentions, to make sense of his strange behavior and unexplained presence on every leg of their journey. But Fix, hiding behind vague words and evasive smiles, gives nothing away. To Passepartout, his answers make no sense.

The more Fix tries to play innocent, the more the Frenchman’s confusion grows. His instincts tell him something is off, but he can’t quite piece it together.

Meanwhile, Fogg remains focused, unaware that the real danger may not come from missed trains or rough seas, but from the man who continues to shadow them at every turn.

As the ship cuts through the waves, deception quietly deepens, and the journey becomes more than a race against time—it becomes a test of trust.

SIGNAL FLAG BANNER

In this project, you’ll create your own Signal Flag Banner, drawing on real maritime communication systems. Creating a flag banner helps us think about the importance of interpretation—a key element in this part of the novel. This craft is also a nod to the maritime setting of many chapters, reminding us that Fogg’s global journey is not just over land but across oceans.

The steamer sails on through the shifting blue between Singapore and Hong Kong, pushing ever closer to the next checkpoint on Phileas Fogg’s relentless journey. The seas are steady, but the stakes grow higher with each passing mile.

Fogg watches the horizon, timing every hour, every turn of the propeller, with the same quiet intensity he brings to every challenge. On board, Passepartout begins to feel the weight of more than just the voyage. The presence of Detective Fix—always nearby, always listening—adds a layer of unease.

Though still unaware of Fix’s true intentions, Passepartout senses the tension rising. The detective speaks in circles, hides behind polite words, and grows more impatient with every nautical mile that separates them from British soil.

As Hong Kong draws near, a storm brews—not of weather, but of doubt, pressure, and secrets. The passengers disembark soon, but not all of them with the same purpose.

Fogg’s eyes are on the clock, Fix’s on his target, and Passepartout’s on a puzzle he’s just beginning to understand.

One thing is clear—the calm of the sea has done nothing to settle what waits on land.

HONG KONG MILK TEA

As Phileas Fogg and his companions sail aboard the Rangoon from Singapore to Hong Kong, a warm cup of Hong Kong Milk Tea feels like the perfect contrast: sweet, strong, smooth, and comforting. Though this drink became iconic in Hong Kong later in history, it captures the blending of East and West that defines the city’s identity—and the shifting tone of this part of the journey.

Hong Kong rises on the horizon, a bustling port city where East meets West—and where plans begin to unravel.

Phileas Fogg arrives with his usual composure, focused on securing passage to the next destination. For him, every moment counts, and his business is clear: continue the journey, protect the schedule, and press forward without delay.

Passepartout, eager to help and feeling the weight of growing suspicion, sets off on an errand of his own—to confirm the departure time of their next steamer.

But in the winding streets and shadows of the port, he runs into someone who’s been waiting for just such an opportunity: Detective Fix. With charm and misdirection, Fix draws Passepartout into a web of confusion, one that may cost them more than just time.

While Fogg makes arrangements and Aouda remains nearby, the three men each move through the city with separate goals. None fully aware of what the others are doing, all driven by urgency.

In this brief pause between journeys, the cracks begin to show. And as the clock keeps ticking, a new danger emerges—not from storms or missed ships, but from the secrets and schemes unfolding just out of view.

STREET NOODLE CUPS

As the Rangoon approaches Hong Kong, this quick and savory Street Noodle Cup recipe gives us a flavorful taste of the fast-moving, fragrant world that awaits. Street noodles are a symbolic dish for this part of the world. Reflecting the world Passepartout walks through, these street cart noodles remind us that the world he moves through is rich with spice, chaos, and life.

In the shadowy streets of Hong Kong, Passepartout is on a mission. Still unaware of the full truth behind Detective Fix’s presence, he becomes increasingly concerned for his master.

Phileas Fogg’s calm confidence and mysterious past have always puzzled him—but now, with Fix constantly lurking, Passepartout starts asking questions of his own. Determined to protect Fogg and uncover Fix’s true intentions, Passepartout finds himself drawn into a trap he never sees coming.

Determined to protect Fogg and uncover Fix’s true intentions, Passepartout finds himself drawn into a trap he never sees coming. Fix, desperate to stop Fogg’s journey, knows he must act fast. With smooth words and a dose of opium, he ensures Passepartout is… temporarily removed from the picture.

While Fogg prepares to depart and the clock ticks ever forward, his most loyal companion is missing—drugged, detained, and helpless in a foreign city. What began as an act of loyalty has turned into a costly mistake.

And as the steamer prepares to leave port, Phileas Fogg may be forced to face the journey ahead without the one man who has stood beside him from the very beginning.

DETECTIVE NOTEBOOK

This Detective Notebook project invites us to step into Passepartout’s shoes and document our own suspicions, sketches, and theories, just as he might have done before being drugged into silence. By creating a detective journal, we’ll gain insight into how the author builds suspense through limited information and miscommunication. It’s also a fun way to make inferences and explore character motivation—while holding a physical piece of the mystery in our hands.

The steamer to Yokohama is about to depart, and Passepartout is nowhere to be found. Phileas Fogg, calm as ever but silently calculating the cost of delay, makes a swift and unexpected decision—he will leave without his servant.

Time is slipping away, and the wager cannot wait. With Aouda by his side, Fogg boards the ship, unaware of the trouble still brewing behind him.

Meanwhile, Detective Fix has failed to keep everything under control.

His attempt to stall Fogg by removing Passepartout has backfired, and now he finds himself face to face with the very man he suspects of robbing the Bank of England.

Fogg, unaware of Fix’s suspicions and true purpose, remains composed and polite, even as Fix seethes with frustration beneath his professional exterior.

As the ship pulls away from Hong Kong, the three travelers—Fogg, Aouda, and Fix—sail toward Japan, each with a different goal.

Fogg seeks progress, Fix seeks justice, and Aouda seeks safety in the hands of a man she’s slowly beginning to trust. But the journey is growing more tangled, and the detective’s patience is running thin. The chase is no longer from a distance—it is now personal.

STEAMSHIP POP-UP CARD

Detective Fix finally comes face to face with the man he believes is a bank robber—Phileas Fogg. But instead of arresting him, Fix hides his true identity and joins him aboard the Tankadere. The steamship is a stage where loyalty, suspicion, and secrets coexist. This Steamship Pop-Up Card captures this moment of tension: two men, each playing a part, sailing toward an uncertain destination.

Stranded in Hong Kong and with the scheduled steamer to Yokohama already departed, Phileas Fogg is faced with a rare and dangerous obstacle. Time is running out, and the clock that has guided every step of his journey now threatens to betray him.

But Fogg does not hesitate—he finds a new path across the sea aboard a small, swift vessel called the Tankadere.

The master of the Tankadere, a bold and capable sailor named John Bunsby, agrees to take Fogg and Aouda on the risky voyage to Shanghai. The seas are rough, the winds unpredictable, and the route treacherous, but the promise of a two-hundred-pound reward pushes the little ship forward through the storm. With every crashing wave, the margin for error grows smaller.

As the wind howls and the coast fades behind them, Fogg remains steady, watching the horizon with the same quiet resolve. But Bunsby knows what’s at stake—for both the gentleman on board and himself. If they fail to reach the next steamer in time, the journey ends here. And in these uncertain waters, even the bravest sailor may not outrun the sea or the ticking hands of fate.

TANKADERE TEA - (A Seafaring Brew)

Aboard the Tankadere between Hong Kong and Shanghai, one can imagine the crew clinging to a warm, comforting drink—steadying themselves against the storm. “Tankadere Tea” is a flavorful and calming blend of black tea, citrus, and spice, inspired by both Fogg and the Asian seaport atmosphere around him. It’s a perfect tea for a fast ship, a tight deadline, and a risky voyage.

In the distant city of Yokohama, Passepartout is on his own, abandoned in a foreign land after being drugged and tricked by Detective Fix. He awakens with no money, no passport, and no idea where Phileas Fogg has gone.

Still, his determination doesn’t falter. He is sure his master must have continued the journey, and he’s determined to catch up.

With no resources to speak of, Passepartout wanders the streets of Yokohama, searching for food, shelter, and a way forward.

He learns quickly that even in the most remote corners of the world, money is the key to everything—transportation, safety, and even the chance to be heard.

As he navigates the unfamiliar city, one goal drives him above all others: to find Fogg and rejoin the journey.

Passepartout has learned an important truth—when you’re halfway around the world, far from everything familiar, even a few coins in your pocket can make all the difference.

LOST IN YOKOHAMA POSTCARD

This postcard project invites us to imagine what Passepartout might have been thinking during this moment of desperation and discovery. The act of writing the postcard gives us a personal connection to Passepartout’s emotional state and the sensory world of Yokohama in the 1870s—crowded docks, strange alphabets, unfamiliar smells, and the ache of missing home.
