Lost in the Autumn ForestYou are having a wonderful time playing with your friends and family in

the forest. You have been jumping in the piles of crisp, golden leaves

and collecting shiny, brown conkers.

It’s getting close to tea time and you all decide to head home. However,

as you look around, you realise that you are lost!

Luckily, an adult in your group has a map of the forest on an app on their

phone, but they have forgotten the passcode needed to unlock the phone.

Solve the clues and puzzles to discover the

passcode needed to unlock the phone and

find your way out of the forest.

The clues could be anywhere, so you need

to keep your eyes peeled and your mind

sharp!
