The Adventure -series was launched in 2009 and the production was discontinued in 2013. The series was designed by Tove Slotte. In the graphic, black and white design Moomintroll is pictured running towards adventures. The original artwork is found in Tove Jansson’s novel Finn Family Moomintroll and comic strip #18 Moomin and the Golden Tail. Tove Slotte has combined the pictures with great precision. In addition to the mug, the other items in the series are the bowl, a plate, two spoons and children’s cutlery, two jars in different sizes, a pitcher, a serving dish, a tray and a wall clock.
