Description
This is a reading comprehension game that uses a labyrinth adventure theme. The children are deep inside a network of underground caves and must answer the questions presented by the Riddle Master to reach the surface.
The questions are light riddles based on information presented on the cards. Some spaces offer secret tunnels that allow clever players to move faster. The first kid to reach the surface is declared the winner.
This educational game is designed for 2 to 6 players. The Blue Level edition is for older children in 4th or 5th grade and the Red Level edition is for children in the 2nd or 3rd grade.
Includes a colorful board, 6 pawns, a timer, 125 cards, answer key, spinner, and rules.
