Frequently asked questions
Yes! Our clues for 11 year olds are designed according to the cognitive abilities of this age: developed abstract thinking. The difficulty is calibrated to be stimulating without being frustrating.
Not at all! For non-readers, an adult reads the clues aloud. Our clues for young children also use pictures and symbols.
Choose the difficulty for the middle age. Assign roles: the older one reads the clues, the younger one searches. Form mixed teams if the group is large.
