Oh no! Garry Gator is at it again! The prankster escaped from the swamp exhibit last night! He released five zoo animals and hid them in secret locations! After the night of mischief, he’s back in his swampy exhibit, fast asleep and refusing to talk. Before he drifted off to dreamland, he slipped a note under Andie Mall’s door in the main zookeeper office! Garry Gator said there are riddles to solve to figure out which animals are hidden and where! The staff of the Oceanside Zoo needs to hurry and find the animals and get them back in their exhibits before it’s time to open the zoo!

Excellent mystery party kit. Detailed instructions, invitations, clues and name tags!
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.
Did this for a make shift corona summer camp for the kids on the block.
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.
