Imagine a ‘whodunit mystery’ served up as an escape room style adventure. Now throw in a forest backdrop with life-size animals that interact with a class of young detectives, helping them to solve a captivating mystery.

Through powerful and compelling stories, we seek to ignite imagination and deep thought, in those same young minds that are often overstimulated by gadgets and devices. So that they can pause for a moment or two, and learn to welcome deep thought.

That is our objective; Igniting the imagination, to teach memorable core values, in those golden moments of stillness!

'Drama, a sort-of-tragedy, comedy timing, and constructive mayhem.’

With an underlying theme of ‘being present in the moment,’ this service promotes core values such as confidence, focus, leadership and teamwork.

With an activity sheet and pencil in hand, pupils will interact with the vibrant 360° pop-up set surrounding them. They will watch dedicated animations and listen out for vital clues, in order to solve the physical puzzles and mental challenges.

Every child will have an opportunity to participate in the adventure, in order to propel the story forward, to a wholesome conclusion that leaves a memorable impression on young hearts.

The Bear Who Was Not There

The forest just got wi-fi access for the first time. Now, the animals have changed!

For one thing, they no longer notice the natural beauty around them the way they once used to. But their behaviour has also changed. They can't seem to focus on things for very long, and they're also lacking the kindness and empathy they once had for one another. They also spend most of the day (and even some of the night) stuck on their gadgets. 

Detective Fox will need to make young detectives of your students, so that they can help solve the mystery of 'The Bear Who Was Not There.'

Through teamwork and roleplay they will solve puzzles and partake in activities to help solve a secret crime, and bring the animals back to the way they once were.

With much uncertainty, Wise Owl watched.

'These young humans,' she wondered to herself.

'Here to help, or merely to meddle?'

She was not yet sure.

Take a deep look,

now look again...

“Now tell me,” asked the wise owl.

“What do you see?”
