Toy Workshop Delivery

Send the right toy-workshop parcel to its waiting inventor.

Six clues, three hint levels each, and a paper-only finish. No locks, apps or cutting required.

Toy Workshop Delivery: Maker desk: Each person has ONE different item. Use all four NOT rules. Find Ben's item and copy its digit.

Your mission

Three inventors left different labels at the workshop desk. Reconstruct who made each part, check the dispatch log and select the parcel that matches all five checks. Collect five named badge digits and use the final sheet. Every clue is on the table; ask the host for one hint at a time.

Set up in one room

Print one player pack and two record sheets per team. Keep the host answers and all three hint levels with the adult.
Keep every clue as a full sheet at one table. Put the final sheet face down until all five results are recorded. Nothing needs cutting, folding or hiding.
Give each child a pencil. Choose a reader, recorder and checker, and swap jobs after each clue. Use one team for 2–4 children or two teams for 5–6.

Materials

6 player sheets and 2 prop sheets per team
One pencil per child
