Honestly, I’m not the best at planning this kind of stuff, but this was super easy to set up. I just printed everything, hid the clues, followed the guide — and we were ready to go. We played with a group of 8- to 10-year-olds and they were hooked right away. They got into the story, worked together, solved each challenge… it was so fun to watch. Super smooth, no dull moments. I’d definitely try another game like this again!

I have organized small treasure hunts for my kids before, but didn’t have time to do it for my son’s birthday this year, so I decided to buy this game. I’m very glad I did. It was a lot of fun for my son, his friends and I to watch them have fun solving clues for almost an hour.

Such a fun game! We’ve only been able to play inside, due to weather, but my 9 year old loves it. It’s fun and there are plenty of clues to keep it interesting and exciting.
