The Halloween Prank – Mystery Game for Kids (Ages 6–7)
The big Halloween celebration is about to begin… but something’s gone very wrong. Someone has wrapped all the decorations in toilet paper, and the party can’t start until the culprit is found.
Kids jump into detective mode with their worksheet and follow the case step by step. They’ll question witnesses, track down evidence, and connect the dots through puzzles and clue trails—then eliminate suspects until the prankster is revealed. The story stays silly and playful, while the mystery gives early elementary kids a clear mission they can actually solve.

We wanted something fun (and a little spooky!) to get into the Halloween spirit — this was just perfect. My 7-year-old and his friends were so focused on solving the mystery, checking clues, and crossing off suspects. Super easy to set up, and a great way to bring some excitement to these October afternoons.
