We appreciate our murder-mystery themed trails may not be suitable for children below 8 years old (as per the Cluedo board game guidance), even though clues are family-friendly and recently we’ve heard via feedback that kids as young as seven have really enjoyed them.
So we thought we’d launch a magical mystery trail aimed at younger kids! The theme for this trail is fantasy / fairy land, with magical folk suspected of taking cookies to a secret place to be eaten later. Your young team have to figure out who took the cookies, what flavour were taken, and where the cookies have been hidden.
