About this game

“Dinosaur Riddles,” made for kids ages 7 to 10, gathers a series of short riddles dressed up as paleontologist challenges: match a footprint to its dinosaur, rebuild a skeleton from clues, put the events on a timeline in order, and sort dinosaurs from smallest to biggest by solving a size sequence. Each riddle reads like a small one-page challenge, with a clear question and everything a kid needs to solve it without any outside help. There is nothing to hide and nowhere to run around: it is just a notebook a child can solve alone, with family, or in a friendly challenge. The riddles climb gently in difficulty, from a very simple first clue to the final riddle that combines several clues about a mystery dinosaur. The answers are gathered at the back, with the reasoning explained step by step so kids understand an answer instead of just being handed it. This notebook works as well for a quiet moment after school as for a vacation activity, and with so many independent riddles it holds up to repeat play. A Junior Paleontologist Certificate is included at the end, once every riddle is solved.
