About the game
What you do in a play session
Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moon Stones puts kids in the shoes of magician apprentices ready to explore two contrasting realms – the sunny Summer Kingdom and the icy Winter Empire. Accompanied by the charismatic Nils, the moon cat, players must locate four moon stones hidden across mystery‑filled settings. Each game starts by scanning a unique QR code with a phone or tablet, which unlocks clues, dialogue and even 3‑D scenes, immersing the group in a virtual world that complements the physical board. There are five distinct stories (plus a tutorial), each lasting 30‑45 minutes, perfect for short family sessions or a kids’ game club. The cooperative system ensures everyone works together to solve puzzles, help the realms' inhabitants and progress the plot, with no cut‑throat competition. Solo rules are also provided, letting a single player enjoy the adventure. The blend of physical components, QR codes and an app creates a hybrid experience that encourages reading, observation and teamwork while introducing children to responsible tech use. Though it requires a mobile device and translated cards, the light mechanics (weight 1.2) and engaging narrative make even the youngest feel like true fairy‑tale heroes.
