Help me find the Holy Grail's thief before his return!

USER REVIEWS
- Françoise: "The children really got into the game and got carried away by the story. We had studied the theme of the Knights of the Round Table in class and it was a real result. The game is totally suitable for children of this age: the rules are easy for all children to understand and the questions make them think. Well done!"
- Cécile: "The children were very pleased with the birthday party. If you do the challenges between each clue, the game can last up to an hour and a half. The certificates at the end are a bonus and the children love them. Tip: hide Merlin's letter in balloons that they have to burst to find it; bury the treasure."
- Laura: "The children loved it, the clues were solved in record time and everyone got involved. The adults there also liked it and lots of the mums wanted to know where I got the activity from, and I gave them the name of your site."
- Laurent: "Suitable scenario. Difficulty level of clues well-pitched for CP [French equivalent of KS1/First Grade]"
- Christelle: "The children liked the activities. The story kept them on tenterhooks, the clues were suitable for their age. The advice on organising it and the printouts were good. I've already recommended your site."
- Sylvie: "The children loved the birthday party. They really liked the certificate provided in the PDF. We jazzed it up by giving the children a sword and shield, a crown and a wand (made of cardboard, for decorating).
