    I bring my group every Thursday now. The little challenge versions are perfect for the toddlers and the older ones love being the 'map keeper'.

    Ollie is not an outdoors kid. He did the whole of The Rainbow Pearls and then asked if there was another one. That's a five from us.

    Good fun and nicely done. It's on the short side for a seven-year-old, we finished in under an hour, but we'd still do another.

    Thanks for the honest feedback. We're working on a longer chapter for older explorers, coming soon.

  • Example review
    Our nine-year-old thought she was too old for it. She was wrong and she knows it. Great mix of moving, looking and listening.
