We tried the Mermaid Treasure Hunt with 5 and 6-year-old kids, and it was just fantastic! The games were fun but also made them think a bit, which I loved. Everything was easy for them to get – the rules were simple enough for them to follow along from the start. It was the perfect mix of fun and challenge for their age. They were especially thrilled to receive their little diploma at the end. Definitely recommend it for a fun learning activity!
