Description Included Reviews

A playful zoo-themed scavenger-hunt mystery party game for kids. This non-murder adventure is packed with animal-loving zookeepers, tricky riddles, hidden zoo animals, team challenges, bonus activities, and one notorious alligator prankster who must be found before Oceanside Zoo opens for the day.

Kids’ Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

Oh no! Garry Gator is at it again. The notorious prankster escaped from his swamp exhibit overnight, released five of his animal friends, and hid them in secret locations around Oceanside Zoo. After his evening of mayhem, Garry crawled back into his exhibit, fell fast asleep, and refused to explain what he had done.

Before dozing off, Garry slipped a collection of riddle-filled envelopes beneath the door of Head Zookeeper Andie Mall’s office. The riddles contain clues that may reveal which animals are missing and where Garry has hidden them. Zoo employees must act quickly because they must restore the exhibits before visitors arrive.

The players will investigate Garry’s riddles, search for hidden clues, complete an exciting scavenger hunt, determine the identities and locations of the missing animals, and take part in a final challenge to find Garry Gator. If the team cannot solve the mystery in time, the mayor may be forced to close Oceanside Zoo for the day!

Zoo Mystery Party for 10 year old Birthday

My daughter and her friends absolutely loved this party. They all had a blast and loved getting the riddles and finding the clues. They decided to work together as a team. It was so fun to hear their different reasonings why it had to be or couldn't be a certain animal. The party took a bit longer than I thought it would but it was super fun, and they were all excited that they got the answers right.

The only thing I would change is the charade bonus game. The suggested words and phrases to act out were way to hard for them. I should have read through them and changed them.

Memorable Party

The party was fantastic! Everything was well mapped out and explained and there was plenty of extra activities to add to the fun! I found the kids having to write out clues was a bit challenging for some but we got through that part. The kids loved looking for clues and their final treasure. I added one more clue with a code wheel. and made a indiviudal clue for each child so that they could do their own hunt and then sent the code wheel home as a thank you card. Also set up a green screen and took pictures of them in their costumes with a zoo backdrop. Kids had a blast and really got into their character. Was a great time. Thanks for this.
