Soccer Detective Game for Kids (Ages 8+)

Just before the championship, disaster strikes. The captain of the national soccer team crashes his bike on the way to training. At first, it looks like a bad accident… until someone discovers the brakes were sabotaged. He’s safe—but he’s out for the season.

Now your team of detectives must step in. With a list of suspects and a clear case file, kids follow the investigation step by step, solve logic puzzles, and eliminate suspects one by one until they uncover who caused the sabotage—and why—before it ruins the big match.
