Publisher's summary

The Doctor and Clara are busy trying to save the Earth from Stellar Nexus and you can help them by solving these strange alien problems!

Plot

Into the Spaceship

After a U.F.O. lands nearby, you use a UNIT thermal scanner to figure out the order in which the buttons on the entry hatch were pressed in in order to find the entry code.

A Helping Hand

After getting inside the spaceship, you help Clara Oswald to find her way to the Doctor, choosing the path with the least booby traps.

Past Journeys

A data-grid depicts several previous destinations which the spaceship has visited. You look through this to try to find each destination.

Clone Centre

You stumble upon a clone laboratory, where the aliens have tried to clone the Foretold. You then try to spot six differences between the clones.

Back to the TARDIS

A blackout occurs, giving you cover to return to the TARDIS - however, "your enemies" have built fake time machines, albeit with slightly different sillhouettes. You have to identify the real TARDIS.
