Twins, so everything is a competition. The 'big explorer' challenges gave them something to fight over in a good way. Brilliant.

The best thing we've done in the holidays. Every stop had something for all three of them and nobody had a meltdown. Small miracle.

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.

This made our day. Thank you for walking it with us, and well done to all the explorers.

Really clever idea. My youngest needed a bit of help with some of the riddles but the narrator gives gentle clues. We'll be back for the autumn one.
