Stumped

What is Stumped?

Stumped is a logic game. You travel around Dalkeith Country Park to find ten different puzzles, answering clues to work out a 4-number code. You use this code to unlock a key safe to find a letter. The ten letters spell a word. Some puzzles are trickier than others. You also might need to revisit the different puzzles if the code doesn't open the safe!

How do I book?

You can book Stumped online, or turn up at the Go Ape cabin during times that our other activities are running.

What ages is it suitable for?

Stumped is suitable for those 8 years old and above. We recommend younger children participate in a school or family group.

We anticipate that children aged 12 and above will be able to complete Stumped without input from adults. However, as with any logic game, this will depend upon the child, they may find some puzzles harder than others.

All children need to be adequately supervised by an adult aged 18 or older.

How long does it last?

Some participants will complete the game in one hour, depending on how quickly you can figure out the puzzles. If you get "stumped", it might take longer than an hour!

What will happen on the day?

Once you have arrived at the Go Ape cabin, you will pay £10 and be given a clue sheet with a map. You can work around the course in any order, but you follow the map to find all the clues. Once you have worked out the ten-letter word, you return to the cabin for your Stumped certificate.

What is the recommended group size?

The recommended maximum group size is four, but if your group is bigger, we'd recommend buying two packs and competing against each other to see who will complete the game first. We all like a bit of friendly competition, right?!
