Strathpeffer
Sacha Hamm, the unfortunately named aspiring young actor, has been embezzling the ticket money collected each night during the summer season! He was getting annoyed at constantly having to play understudy to overly flamboyant actor, Ivan Egoe. Now, Sacha has done a runner, but rumour has it that he has left this booty hidden behind for an accomplice to go and pick up. Local police have managed to get hold of a treasure map along with a series of puzzles, which Sacha left for this friend to help them track down the plunder. However, the police have been scratching their heads for days now, so may need a little bit of help deciphering them. Are you up for this task Explorers? If you are, you need to hurry… we must find the takings before Sacha's friend takes them in!

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite
