It’s a great concept and nice that it’s an instant download. Used this for my daughter’s 9th birthday party, the kids LOVED it. The set up directions were easy to follow. I printed everything out and I was impressed with the puzzles and clues. Definitely recommend for a different and entertaining party which gets the kids having fun (even switching on their brains!) and involved.

This is a great download! It was for my daughter who turned 9. They’re were about 12 kids so we made 2 teams… Everyone enjoyed and it was a lot of fun. It was a great birthday party activity!
