Welcome to

interactive story treasure hunts created by talented storyteller Kirsty Allen

Ever had to tell a familiar story, and been met with that “not that one again” look? Ever had young people that find it difficult to sit still and listen?

Well, not anymore! The Tale Trails have got you covered! We take a great story, shake it all up, get inside the characters, and tell the story through exciting treasure hunts and fun engaging videos and challenges. Find the character, watch the video, answer the questions and complete the challenge. The Tale Trails let you join in.

So there’s no time for sitting down. And you still get the beauty of original character illustrations created exclusively by artist Miriam Latimer.

BEAUTIFUL interactive STORIES for aLL the family!

ABOUT KIRSTY
(+ Isla)

As a teacher, Kirsty learned the power of a good story. As a performer, she discovered the joy of delivering that story in a memorable way.

Kirsty’s own dramatic story began in her back garden, where she, her brother and a group of friends press-ganged adults into watching their plays. It was the beginning of a love of creating, writing, and performing which eventually (after many years teaching in Primary Schools) led her to completing a 3 year diploma in Mime.

In The Tale Trails, Kirsty brings her experience together in a series of dramatic scavenger hunts which encourage you, your family and friends, to delve deeper into the stories.

(Try as she might, Kirsty could not stop Isla, her 7 year old Cavachon, wanting to be part of this exciting production. See if you can spot her in some of the videos….)

Questions?

All you need is a Tale Trails Adventure Pack, a phone/tablet that is able to scan QR codes, a fun place to hide the characters and some family or friends to share it with.
Tale Trails can be enjoyed individually, but are the most fun if played as part of a group (up to 6) in sets of teams. Take it to the next level and see who gets to the end first!
Before you begin. Choose someone to go and hide the 8 character ‘wobblers’. Inside or outside, make it as easy or as hard as you like. Just keep it fun and safe!
Find the ‘Welcome to the Nativity’ wobbler, and place it where you want everyone to start.
Ok. Now you’re nearly ready. Every group or individual will need a phone or tablet with a camera, to scan the QR codes and take funny pictures.
