What our heroes say
4 / 5
“The game worked well with seven children despite the mixed ages. We put all the expedition photos on the television afterward. An adult had to help with the search for tiny creatures. A little adult support kept things moving.”
5 / 5
“Tried this at the weekend with five children aged six to nine. Our junior detectives even invented code names for one another. The mix of movement and puzzles went down better than our usual party games.”
5 / 5
“My daughter asked for a proper treasure hunt this year. They found the secret cauldron at the end with a huge cheer. We hid a small box at the end, and the reaction when they found it was worth the preparation.”
