Football Detective Game L'Enquête mystère

Clues wait in the changing rooms, in the stands and on the pitch, and players and coaches have to be questioned along the way. The puzzles are matched to the age group and keep changing: rebus puzzles, small sums, jigsaws and hands-on craft activities. Every step solved brings the children closer to the saboteur. Team spirit, logical thinking and fair play all come into it, because the clues are gathered and interpreted together.

Everything needed is included and nothing has to be printed out. The material contains numbered envelopes, for example Enveloppe n°3 about a missing shirt, a tournament chart to fill in and a certificate titled Diplôme de grand enquêteur. A detailed guide for parents and an explanatory video show how to prepare the session.

The adventure is made for football-mad children, girls and boys alike, recommended for ages 6 and up. The game material, letters, clues, parents' guide and audio clues are in French only; there is no German, English or Italian edition. That makes it a game for French-speaking families or for children playing with a French-speaking adult alongside them. A single child can investigate alone, and so can a group of up to ten, indoors or outdoors. It works as the programme for a children's birthday party, a free afternoon, a weekend or the holidays. It was developed with a professional game designer and reviewed by teachers.

Allow time for the set-up: it takes no more than 15 minutes, and the group can then start straight away. Read the parents' guide and watch the explanatory video before you begin, so the children do not have to wait. Keep a phone to hand, because some clues arrive as audio messages on a dedicated number. In fine weather the investigation can move outdoors, and in the rain it works just as well indoors. If the children's French is still limited, a French-speaking adult can read out the envelopes and letters.

Is the game available in English? No. All the material and the audio clues are in French only, and no English edition exists.

How long does one game last? One session runs 1 hr 15 min, and the set-up takes a maximum of 15 minutes.

What age is the game recommended for? It is recommended for ages 6 and up.
