Can this game,be enjoyed simultaneously by an 8 yr old, a 5 yr old and a 3 yr old, or does it need to be okayed with like-aged kids?

Good Morning! This is one of the things that makes GoTrovo special - you can pick clues of varying difficulty to lay in a single trail/game so that each child tackles the ones that suit their ability and all are part of finding the treasure. For instance your 3 year old will be able to identify the objects/places from the picture clues and lead the charge to the next location. If the next clue you have set out is a riddle the 8 year old can read this out loud and they can all solve together. Your 5 year old will love the picture/word clues but can make an attempt at the simpler riddles too! You can also give the younger child the loot bag to collect the gold coins and then another child can be chief 'map reader'. With 7 children between myself and my co-creator, we designed this to be perfect for siblings of different ages to play together since that was a problem we were each having in our own homes. In time your 8 year old will enjoy laying the trail for his/her younger siblings and you can sit back and relax :). There are also blank clues where the older children can draw or write their own clues. We know you'll have many hours of fun as a family with GoTrovo - please come back to me if I can help further.

How easy would this be to use at a birthday party on short notice? How much time is needed to prep before playing?

Not much time needed at all after the initial setup of the game pieces. My kids (5 and 7) set it up for each other all the time and just spend hours playing treasure hunters, if you've got 10 minutes you can easily set it up. It might even be fun to have the kids set it up for each other as the party goes on they can make teams and if you have another activity have one group do that in one room while the others set it up for them through the rest of the house.

Has the design changed? Is there no longer a treasure "map"? Is it now a game board?

Hi! Good spot! Yes, the design of the map has been updated to reflect customer feedback. Its now a puzzle game board that the players work along with all the same great run around active fun for kids of all ages! The original version with the treasure map the child carries around will be available again by the end of the month but only until stocks are exhausted! Please get in touch if you would like more information. Jo @ GoTrovo

How long does this game take to play?

It can be a short game of 10 to 15 minutes or if things are hidden far apart it could take longer. Great game for young kids and can advance for a slightly older group.
