Abstract: A mystery game system optimized for children and/or developmentally disadvantaged individuals. Various game mechanics are provided in order to provide a role-playing mystery game that is suitable in terms of level of difficulty for all participants; that does not require any participant to play the role of a criminal and/or nullbad guynull, that allows responsible supervision of the course of the game, that provides positive social rewards to a selected individual (for example a particular child whose birthday party is the occasion for the game), that provides a carefully structured format for progression of the game, and which includes one or more modest nullphysicalnull challenges such as hunts for treasure and/or clues. In one embodiment, the present invention teaches a role-playing game system in which play and revelation of clues proceeds in a structured series of rounds, with players being called upon to provide a specific clue and/or advancement of the game's nullstory linenull and/or nullscriptnull. A central nulldetectivenull character may supervise other player's rounds, and non-player supervisors may also supervise revelation of each character's clues. Non-player characters may take the negative roles (such as suspects), and the central character may have sufficient information to solve the mystery at the end of the game. In the preferred embodiment, game mechanics provide a sense of mastery even to children and negative roles are not played by anyone but rather are introduced through the plot.

Topics for children to which this means of play can be applied include safety around dogs, street-proofing, accident prevention, manners and dog obedience training. The game comprises a game board and playing markers, a numbered spinning device to define movement around the board and sets of instructional cards. By way of messages on the game board, activities described on the various instructional cards and various means of reward and penalty set out in the rules, several learning and teaching strategies are employed so that players are amused and learning concurrently. These strategies include modelling, conditioning, positive and negative reinforcement, response to verbal and visual cues, and physical activity. Individual and group activities occur throughout the period of play. Criteria for success in some of the activities are graded to provide greater challenge for older children and adults.
