German editions (since 1993)
As the series remained popular in Germany, from 1993 German publisher Kosmos started to publish new books written by German authors. As with the American books, these books are the basis for the German radio dramas, which are actually even more popular than the books. In August 2009, 94 books will have been published in the German edition of which 73 books have been realised as a radio drama yet. All in all, this will result in 149 books and 129 radio dramas published in August 2009.

German The Three Investigators Kids Series (since 1999)
In this series, the Three Investigators are 10 years old, thus making it a kind of 'prequel' to the original series. Their headquarters is a water tank close to Rocky Beach nicknamed "Coffee Pot", which was once used to fill up locomotives. Joining the recurring cast are Mr. Porter, Rocky Beach's general dealer, Harbor Master Ernesto Porto, and Giovanni, who runs an ice cream parlor.

Another difference to the original series is that Bud Norris, Skinner's father, operates a shady bar in the city center.
