Played this over christmas with my children, they really enjoyed it and glad I got this. Something different that mostly removes them from their devices for a bit 🙂

A type of game that is a challenge while being not too hard. I expected it to be more like an escape room challenge in the sense of solving the first puzzle in order to unlock the next. The thing is you get all the puzzles and have to figure out which is the order which is still challenging, so I’m not complaining. The puzzles are fit for the age range and the game is enjoyable.Once solved you can put it away and try it in a couple of years or pass it on because once you solved it the answers don’t change.ok for the price, given that there is a web site dedicated to the case too. You will need internet to reveal the message and for clues and answers. (although I found one of their answers to be wrong).

This puzzle set is great for kids and even young teens. The puzzles are simple enough for a child to do but tricky enough that it poses a bit of a challenge for them. I would say the suggested age range is spot on, although my 11 year old enjoyed doing it too.The set contains a letter explaining what needs to be done, all the clues needed, and a pencil for making notes and completing some of the puzzles.There is a note provided for parents that was a bit confusing as it says it has been given as a gift for my child from someone I know and the secret message was from them. At no point during the purchasing process was I asked if I wanted to provide a personalised message and the message was just the generic one from the astronaut, so this seemed to not be necessarily relevant to this particular set.The materials provided are all well printed and look to be of good quality, and it has some interesting facts for kids to learn too.You do need to have Internet access to input the code so bare this in mind. As with all these sorts of sets, once you have completed it, you can’t really re-do it, but it is possible to pass it on to someone else to do if you’ve not written all over the contents.Overall this is a great little set for kids and would keep them busy for a while. I would recommend it and it would make a great gift for birthdays or Christmas.

I home educate so this was a good, fun, simple activity to do at home. My daughter enjoyed it, think it would make a good novelty gift.

Really like both the ‘flat pack’ envelope nature of this, along with the general quality of both the puzzles and the presentation. I’d say the stated age-range is about right: younger kids will potentially need some help/support, although older siblings might be readily drawn in as we found in our house. The only major ‘gripe’ I have, if you can call it that, is that access to the internet is required to enter the code, so it’s not a totally offline experience. That’s one of only two things that could have made it better, with the other being value for money: yes, it’s good quality, but it’s not something that you can pull out more than once or twice a year, so has limited reusability.

This is brilliant, very well thought out and created. My 6 year old struggled quite a bit but he enjoyed it regardless. It’s all very well presented and certainly provides a good amount of entertainment for a while. My daughter seemed to somewhat enjoy it too.. definitely recommend, great way to bond and spend some quality time as a family.

This a fairly easy and enjoyable puzzle game for one or two children. Best suited for children aged 7-8. There are a good variety of animal related tasks to complete. The exercises typically last for under an hour. What I find extremely disappointing is that online access is needed to complete the game. There is no good reason that the game should not be self contained.

This is a great idea and perfect for gifting. It is one time use though but I think the price reflects that.I gave it to my 8 and 11 year old. The 11 year old enjoyed it, the 8 year old lost interest very quickly.There is a good selection of puzzles to solve it and it is engaging at the right age group.

A good game which is like escape rooms, don’t want to give to much aware for obvious reasons. This was to play with my 8 year old son who did need some help and his teenage sisters actually joined in to which is huge (if you have teens you know what I’m talking about) easy enough for teens m/adults children will need some help. Comes in a letter envelope flat style so easy to store ect. Good layout and good selection of cards etc
