A TRAIL around a National Trust property near Pershore will see children investigate and explore to solve mysteries.

Croome Court has a new trail which leaves a trail of puzzles and clues for children to solve, exploring the history of the estate's past.

Clare Harris, Croome’s creative producer, said: "We have had an amazing amount of fun bringing the Time Explorer game to life at Croome Court over the past few months. From puzzles to solve, mysteries to uncover and a Time Machine to help straighten time out, this is a unique experience which can only be found at Croome.

“We’ve had really positive feedback from families while we have been developing this game. The game is such a cool way for children to learn about Croome’s historical characters from the 18th century and the 1960s boys school era. There’s even a special secret ending waiting to be discovered for families that have their wits about them.”

The free game takes about 45 minutes to complete with a unique conclusion and a sticker reward if children have successfully completed their missions.

Croome is open throughout the winter. The park and lakeside are open from 10am until 4.30pm every day and Croome Court is open on every day from 11am to 4.00pm (except Tuesdays when it’s closed).
