Kids Chronicles:

Quest for the Moon Stones Brings Hit Franchise to a New Audience

By Bree Goldman, Marketing Manager for Lucky Duck Games

Once upon a time there were two kingdoms: they were neighbors, and yet… they couldn’t be more different. For years, there was only one wizard guiding both kingdoms. With so many troubles to solve, the wizard has become weary. This is why today, he calls upon you, his new apprentices! Help him solve the mysteries of the land and experience unforgettable encounters. Embark on a journey to discover the Moon Stones and work together to become the greatest wizards this world has ever known!

Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moon Stones is a cooperative family game of mystery and investigation from David Cicurel, designer of the hit franchise Chronicles of Crime. Like Chronicles of Crime, Kids Chronicles is supported by a sophisticated digital app which allows players to scan locations, characters, and items in order to interact with them.

Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moon Stones and Yummy Yummy Monster Tummy were the first two games in the new Lucky Duck Kids line from Lucky Duck Games, which launched in Q4 2021.

A Fairy Tale At Your Table

The story of Kids Chronicles puts players to the test right away, introducing them to Merlin in the tutorial and sending them on their first quest, which will enable them to become his apprentices! Kids will love exploring the 360° locations on the double-sided board, meeting all sorts of unusual characters and trying to solve their problems.

Much like its big brother Chronicles of Crime, the story and characters form the core of each Kids Chronicles quest. Players as young as age seven can explore locations and solve problems for characters from the Summer Kingdom and the Winter Empire.

Players can use the app to scan characters and interact with them. Characters might talk about their part of the story, or they might offer their help in return for a favor. Every character is different!

Each location offers a 360-degree scene to explore, giving kids the chance to interact with the environment every time they move around the board. Their actions can change which characters and items appear in each 360-degree scene, so they might return to a location that they visited earlier to discover that things have changed since the last time they were there!

Easy to Learn, Easy to Play

The digital hybrid nature of Kids Chronicles makes it easy to pick up and start playing. Just download and install the app, then jump straight into the tutorial scenario – no need to read a rulebook. The tutorial teaches new players how to interact with the board, cards, and app, while also introducing key characters such as Merlin and Nils the Moon Cat. This short scenario is a perfect introduction to the game and also works as a fantastic in-store or convention demo.

Lucky Duck Games Retail Partners receive a free interactive display that shows off Kids Chronicles and other Lucky Duck titles with QR codes to show customers examples of the app. Ask your preferred distributor for more details! Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moon Stones is a cooperative family game for one-tofour players. It will appeal to kids who enjoy exploration and investigation games, and parents looking to share a Chronicles of Crime-like experience with their kids in a family-friendly setting.
