uKloo Riddle Edition Treasure Hunt Game is a fantastic game that strengthens problem solving and reasoning skills in an active, exciting way. It also promotes initiation skills. The game works as a treasure hunt in which players read and solve riddles to get to the next riddle, and ultimately reach a surprise that the adult chooses. The game can be played with one child. Alternatively, a group of children can work together to solve the riddles or take turns. There are three levels of riddles provided, so adults can choose the level according to the child's age and ability. Some sample riddles at each level: Level 1 - "It's your favorite place to be, when you sit and watch TV." Level 2 - "A hollow vessel from where you scoop, cereal, ice cream or yummy soup." Level 3 - "When temperatures turn extreme, I turn to liquid, solid or steam." Level 3 riddles are quite challenging, so expect to stick to Levels 1 and 2, or use Level 3 cards to stump an adult in the mix. The game provides a Hints Booklet if a player gets stuck on a riddle. There are also options for players or facilitators to write and incorporate their own riddles into the hunt.

Note that this game requires time for setting up the treasure hunt, so parents might need to plan ahead to lay out the riddle trail without children watching. Also, while reading the riddle cards provides good reading practice, to keep the game going and motivation high,adults might want to read the riddles for children. And be prepared to read the riddles more than once, particularly for younger children or those with weaker working memory or attention.
