Are you searching for something different to enjoy with your family and friends? Do you need a unique gift for an inquisitive mind? Or are you going to need to entertain children on a rainy day? Squishy Taylor and the City-Wide Ghost Plague is your answer!
Squishy Taylor has a mystery to solve and she needs your help! Ghosts are appearing across the city and Squishy Taylor, 11-year-old ninja-spy and super-sleuth, is hot on their trail. But without her all-important twin bonus sisters Jessie and Vee as backup, Squishy urgently requires your assistance! Follow the clues, solve the puzzles and help Squishy unravel the secret behind these phantom visions.
Undertaken from the comfort of your home, this experience has been crafted by artists to be perfect family entertainment. Complete the puzzles, unlock the next chapter and get one step closer to solving the mystery.
Squishy Taylor and the City-Wide Ghost Plague is inspired by Ailsa Wild’s much-loved Squishy Taylor junior fiction book series. It is perfect for ages 7 and above.
