Twins Scarlett and Thomas have been learning about the Maya at school.

They even had a go at making hot chocolate from cacao beans.

When Grandad falls ill, the twins know what the perfect cure will be – hot chocolate!

They nervously borrow Grandad’s time machine and travel back to the time of the Mayas.

Scarlett pretends to be a god, and gets taken in by the royal family.

Thomas is not quite so lucky, and ends up playing for his life in a brutal Mayan ball game.

Watch out, Thomas, if you lose, you might be sacrificed to the gods!

How far would you go to find the best hot chocolate?
