The Adventures
Hide-and-Seek in the School
The packet of cards with an orange back takes you to play Hide-and-Seek in the school. Your goal is to find your three friends who have run away and hidden in the different buildings. It's up to you to carefully explore each part of the school to find them all!

How to Play
Take the green packet of cards and unfold the poster.
- Choose the packet of cards with the adventure you want to take part in. Take the starting card (white checkered) and put this down on your left without turning it over. Take the Objective card (star patterned) and put this down on your right without turning it over. Spread all the other cards out, bubble-side up. You're ready to explore!
- Turn the starting card over so it is Image side up. This card shows you where to start exploring. Carefully examine the different places you can visit. Each place is unique and is indicated by a clear bubble.
- Choose the area you want to explore and take the card with the matching bubble. Turn this card over in front of you so it is Image side up and have a look at the new places you can visit.
- Continue your adventure in the same way: for each place you want to explore, take the card with the matching bubble and turn this over in front of you to take a closer look at the new places to visit. You can put all the cards one next to the other without piling them up to make it easier to come back to any areas you want to revisit. As you explore, try to visit all the right places to find all the Star cards shown on the Objective card!
Star Card
- When you find a card with a star, you have completed one of the steps on the Objective card. Congratulations, you're on your way to victory! Keep this card next to your Objective card and carry on with your adventure with any card you like.
Dead End Card
- When you find a card with a red square, you have come to a dead end. There's nothing to find here. Carry on with your adventure with any card you like. Be careful! Throughout your adventure, try to avoid Dead End cards if you can. If you manage then at the end of your adventure you'll have a better explorer level.
End of the Game
- Your adventure ends when you have found all of the Star cards shown on the Objective card. Turn over your Objective card and congratulations! You've successfully made it through your adventure!
Check what explorer level you have reached by counting how many Dead End cards you turned over:
- 3 or 4 Dead End cards: Bronze Bubble. You are an apprentice explorer who should keep on adventuring!
- 1 or 2 Dead End cards: Silver Bubble. You are becoming a Super Adventurer! Great work!
- No Dead End cards: Gold Bubble. Nothing can hide from you, you have thoroughly explored on your adventure! Congratulations!
Improvement
You can redo each adventure from the start as many times as you want. If you know all the places to explore, you can improve your explorer level! Use your memory to avoid all the Dead End cards and reach the prestigious Gold Bubble level!
Character Card
In some adventures there are characters who can talk. They can be found on cards with a blue background.
- Sometimes a character will show a direction to follow. Continue your adventure by turning over the card that is shown in the bubble in the green rectangle.
- Other characters will give you a direction to follow if you have found a Star card:
- If you have found the Star card they are looking for, continue your adventure by turning over the card that is shown in the bubble in the green rectangle.
- If you have not found this Star card yet, go back to your adventure starting in the place shown in the bubble in the red rectangle.
