The number of belly laughs this game brought out is too numerous to count. It’s adorable and the perfect theme for kids; even our three year old loved it!

A cute, quick, and thinky roll & write that can grow with your child. Easy enough that our 5 year old can play while giving our older kids fun ways to strategize their way to big combos.

This is an excellent roll & write that you will love playing with your kids. The maps are well suited for a younger audience with great difficulty scaling. Works well for kids as young as 5-6 years old and encourages critical thinking.

Search Party — Ages 6-7+

A kid version of the popular Where’s Waldo mystery detective games. If you’ve been wanting a kid safe and appropriate version of Micro Macro Crime City, this is a good option our kids loved!

Mission cards have text on them that players will need to read during play. Emerging readers may require assistance.

Little Alchemists — Ages 7+

This takes a complex deduction game for adults and perfectly distills it into a fantastic game for kids and parents to enjoy together! The use of campaign style play to ease you into more challenging rules will always be my favorite and I love how Little Alchemists does it here!
