National Storytelling Week 2024

To celebrate National Storytelling Week 2024, we tasked you with creating a brand-new backstory for a Treasure Trail! The winner would see their story transformed into our latest Virtual Trail puzzle, plus nine runners-up would win some goodies too.

Thanks to everyone who entered - we really enjoyed reading all your fantastic stories. The standard was very high which made our job of whittling down the entries to just one winner and nine runners-up really difficult! However, after much deliberation and re-reading of stories, we got there in the end. We're thrilled to now present our winners...
