For Young Kids!

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 some magical mystery trails aimed at younger kids! The theme for these trails 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.

Our first kids trail is at Slieve Gullion Forest Park, County Down – the Giant’s Lair Legendary Whodunit Hunt explores a trail where you can test young powers of observation while learning about the legend of Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

Our latest kids trail, just launched, is at Pomeroy Forest near Dungannon. Explore a fairy tale trail, see magnificant wood carvings, enjoy lots of playpark areas too!

Our kids trails are mini-booklets with around 16-17 clues to solve, so not too many to tire them out or get bored. We think they’re incredible value for a family too at only £3.99 for a trail booklet… and definitely something different to do too! The map below shows you where these kids trails are.
