Such a fun and creative game! The kids loved the story and were super into the missions. It felt like an adventure, but with little reminders about taking care of the planet mixed in. Just the right balance!

It is so fun as they race off to search for each location, and when one clue is found they cheer in unison and race back to me to collect the card and go to the next clue.
