Family Mysteries: Fun Things To Do With Kids To Spark Curiosity!


Do you have curious young adventurers who love puzzles, treasure hunts, and a good mystery?

Introducing your kids to activities that nurture their imaginations and critical thinking is a great way to bond as a family.

Why settle for boring board games when there are countless options to turn your kids into clever little detectives?

Here are 3 family activities to ignite your child’s curiosity and imagination!

A Mystery Guides Family Treasure Hunt

A treasure trail with Mystery Guides is just the thing! Instead of simply going for a walk, the family can work together to solve cryptic clues, discover hidden objects, and unravel a plotted mystery.

Whether about to uncover the secrets of medieval Edinburgh or chase gold coins in a city tour around London, each Mystery Guide introduces your family to fascinating tales from the past.

What makes it special?

  • Engaging Challenges: Each family treasure trail is packed with fun activities that get the whole family solving riddles, following treasure hunt maps, and eliminating suspects. There’s even a big reveal at the end!
  • Choose a Location: Mystery Guides adventures take you on treasure trails across some of the UK's most historic cities.
  • Family-Friendly: Walks are around 2 miles long, and every clue is carefully designed to ensure there's nothing that is unsuitable for children. Add a pub stop for a quick break, or bring the dog along - Mystery Guides even give you alternative routes for those with furry friends coming along. Your trek just turned into a family treasure hunt you’ll never forget!
  • Create a Whodunnit Quiz Night: If you're staying indoors or prefer a cosy evening, create a mystery quiz night to add excitement to family time. Craft your own whodunnit riddles that could be inspired by your kids’ favourite books, movies, or even the latest Mystery Guides treasure hunt that you went on as a family..
  • Turn Your Garden into an Outdoor Escape Room: Why hunt for mysteries beyond home when you can create your very own outdoor escape room right in your garden? With just a few simple props and a little imagination, you can transport your kids into a world of suspense and solve the clues together.
