    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.

    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
    Really sweet, well-made story and the voices are brilliant. We downloaded it at home first which was handy as signal drops out in the middle of Epping Forest.

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