GOTROVO The Family Treasure Hunt Game! Indoor Adventure Board Game for Kids 4-8, Solve Clues Together to Find Jewels and a Surprise Gold Bar Reward – Great for Parties and Playdates

Created4kids are a fantastic company to deal with. There was a mix up caused by Amazon and I received the original gotrovo game (which was less professional and didn't come in a proper box) by mistake. I had no idea and was quite happy with the original but upon reading my first review about this game, the company realised there had been a mistake and contacted me to let me know. They also sent me the correct game, A.S.A.P and at no extra charge to myself.My son wanted a famous five themed birthday party so as well as a "kirrin island" cake and "lashings of ginger beer", we brought this game with the intention of setting a treasure hunt at his party. We had six children hunting on the day and everyone had lots of fun.The game takes a bit of setting up initially, There are a hundred printed clue cards, which you need to stick velcro dots onto the back and this does take some time but it's well worth the effort and once done, the game is easy to set up for future plays.The game is aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 8. For older kids there are word clues with a rhyme which the children have to complete in order to find out where the next clue is hidden but for younger children there are simple picture cards too so everyone can play and have fun. There are cards for both indoor and outdoor use and they are stored neatly in a generous sized cotton swag bag.There is a double sided treasure map and each side is a different map, each map has ten spaces for clues where the children attach the cards to the map when found. Both the cards and the map are of very good quality so will stand plenty of repeat play, they are a kind of wipe clean card which with my three year old, I have found very handy!They provide gold coins to hide along the way, we haven't used them but it could make trails more interesting if you wanted to. They also provide a gold coloured plastic tray which you can fill with sweets if you wish or if you turn it upside down, it looks like a bar of gold. The tray is quite flimsy and I suspect that it will break after a couple of plays but it isn't hugely important to the fun of the game, I think kids prefer to hunt for some proper treasure like sweets or a small toy.All in all this is a very unique and thoughtfully put together game and it has enabled my children to have the fun of completing old fashioned treasure hunts without the stress for me. I highly recommend this game and can't wait to lay another trail at Easter! We also brought the gotrovo mini games as party bag fillers for the kids attending the party to go home with and they were also a big hit with both the kids and the parents.This has been great value, lots of fun and I certainly don't resent buying it. Thankyou Gotrovo for a brilliant game and first class customer service!

This is a great product. My daughter got it for Christmas (after asking for "a treasure map") and I'm now listing various friends we could give a set to. It must have been designed by a teacher, or at least road-tested lots of times because it does exactly what you would want it to do. For example:- the cards are plasticky (like playing cards) so they are water resistant for placing in the garden;- the gold coins are an exciting treasure at the end - they are kept in a red, drawstring pouch but there's also a gold bar box which you could place them in or replace them with something else (e.g. chocolate) which is easier to spot;- the cards are very adaptable. I was sceptical about how relevant it would be for every family, but the items are carefully chosen to be generic (e.g. bike, flower, phone, TV) and everyone would find they had enough of the them in their house/garden to make at least one trail;- they're reusable - there are so many cards that we have played it a lot but haven't done the same trail twice;- the treasure map looks really exciting and you carry it round the house and stick your cards on as you find them- the cards are well differentiated for every age: pictures, words and pictures, and then full blown riddles. But even the riddles are doable (my bright four year old can work them out because of the rhyme but an older child wouldn't be patronised).There is lots more I could say, since I keep thinking of new ways to get the most out of it, but suffice to say that I'm delighted we were given it and it would be a great present for families who like to do stuff together.

This is an excellent game which my three year old loves to play. She cannot set the game up herself quite yet but understands the concept of how to complete the treasure hunt and will easily play two or three games at a time.We've taken the game to grandparents house to play as well and it was easy to set up. Set up takes on average 5-10 minutes per game.Given my daughter's age we have only used the picture cards so far but I'm sure the riddle cards will be used when she is older which is great.A lot of the cards show places and items that can be found in a few places within the home, for example, sink, so you can hide them in different places each time to make it interesting. We quite often use items within my daughter's dolls house or kitchen as a variant.Would definitely recommend.

My 4 year old son loves his treasure hunt game. I love the simplicity of it, it's easy to set up and my son looks forward to the surprise in his treasure at the end. I have access to a laminating machine so I think I will laminate the picture cards for longevity. I also thought about taking photos of places in our home and turnng the pictures into cards to personalise the game. As you collect each clue card they attach to the map, I like this idea as it saves them getting lost and helps the child understand how the game is going, it is also good for number recognition. I think the game is well thought out and well made. It made a perfect Easter gift and lasted much longer and was more fun than a chocolate egg.
