This is a list of some great detective mystery games for teens and tweens.
All available as downloadable kits.
These easy to host party games involve fun mystery-solving tasks. And detective activities. All designed to entertain and engage tweens and teens. Aged 10 to 16 years old.
Mystery Games for Teens and Tweens
Here are five of the best mystery games for tweens and teens. For ages ranging from 10 to 16 years old. Each game is available to download. There are a set number of character roles to play. But these games will work for a large group of children, as there is scope for the other children to take part in the detective activities. Also the culprit doesn’t know whodunnit. So everyone can be involved in the investigation. I’ve also included a game each for an all-girls and an all-boys party.
