Summary
A rival agency called Weird Team opens up across the street, hands out free gadgets, and quickly puts Odd Squad out of business — so retired agents Olive and Otto come back to team up with the new squad. Together they use number sense, patterns, and careful reasoning to expose Weird Team's scheme and stop a town-sized wave of oddness. A feature-length mystery that folds a whole case's worth of math into one big adventure.
