Storyline

Attention all animal lovers and adventure seekers! The National Gallery in London needs your help! A pack of mischievous animals has escaped from their paintings and are running wild throughout the museum.

Be warned - these crafty critters are experts at staying hidden. They could be hiding in plain sight, disguised as part of a painting or camouflaged in a crowded room. You'll need to use your sharp eye and quick wit to track them all down.

As you explore the museum, you'll come across some truly amazing works of art, each hiding one or more mischievous animals waiting to be caught; with every catch, you learn some really interesting facts about the paintings.

So are you ready for the challenge? Can you catch all the animals and save the National Gallery in London before the clock runs out? The fate of the museum is in your hands - let's get hunting!

Very good for a 4-5 year old, but slightly hampered by the gallery's moving of paintings (not the fault of the quest designer)
