About this game

First title in the Famous Five Adventure Games book series. A "make your own adventure game" based on the Famous Five children's book, "Five Go Down to the Sea". Players start at the first paragraph and roll the Famous Five die to select the first step on their adventure. In subsequent paragraphs, players receive instructions about how to proceed: they must make decisions about which way to go next, roll the die, or solve clues using the included playing cards (in the shape of various tools, such as a torch or a codebook). The more clues solved, the better chance of unraveling the final mystery. And running out of provisions (picnic cards) automatically ends the adventure! From the back of the book: In this original series of Adventure Game Books, YOU decide what they do and whether they solve the mystery or not. Everything you need to play the game is contained within the book in your own Adventure Wallet. Inside it, you will find: the book, a set of playing cards consisting of a rucksack; codebook; torch; measure card; map — and to refresh you on your journey, a lunchbox and picnic cards! There is even a special Famous Five dice! The game can be played over and over again, as many times as you like. For there are a variety of routes to the solution and each route involves different clues and adventures.
