Beloved readers, you will be delighted to learn that I stole Mr Q’s laptop when he wasn’t looking, and am now here once again to bestow wisdom upon you all. The more astute of you might be aware that it is Mother’s Day this coming Sunday 19th. As the world’s premier supervillain, I obviously love my mother more than you all love your mothers, but if you were looking for some last minute present ideas (pathetic), here are some that she might find… enjoyable.

Love is in the air at clueQuest! The most romantic day of the year is coming up, and Mr Q has been racking his brains as to how to properly celebrate it. Of course, it’s very romantic to save the world together, but what do you do once the world is safe? Well, we’ve got just the answer...

During December we raised money for Lift, a youth hub based in Islington that provides vital services for young people. We filled a giant advent calendar with goodies and locked each door with a padlock - just £3 would give you the key to open a door and discover what was inside. We managed to raise an astonishing £1000 for Lift, and bought them many items from their wishlist! This culminated in Lift coming to play a game here at clueQuest and finding all their gifts in the final room! 

Our Intrepid Reporter also sat down with Judith, the Senior Youth Manager at Lift, to chat about the good that Lift does for the community.

Every March and April, spring cleaning is the phrase on everyone’s lips. Well, clueQuest is always ahead of the curve, and so we’ve decided now is the perfect time to give our rooms a coat of paint! Our Gamesmakers have been busy sprucing everything up ready for future agents.

clueQuest is made up of many people, from the Gamesmakers who run our missions, to the visiting agents who come to save the world. One pair who keep clueQuest running smoothly is our customer service team, Jonnie and Ophelie. Our Intrepid Reporter sat down with them to discover who exactly it is on the other side of the phone...

A new year is the perfect opportunity to start afresh, and what better way to do that than by making a resolution? We’re a week into 2023, but if you’re still searching for ideas, here’s what some of our agents have decided to stick to this year!

Falling Star is back with an updated online game system for a great puzzle experience. We’re very proud of this new incarnation - it has some fiendishly fun puzzles, and it’s one of the best looking games we’ve ever made. A lot of sweat and tears has gone into this (thankfully not much blood) and we really hope that many more of you will get to enjoy it now.

Thanksgiving: a day when our neighbours across the pond come together to celebrate gratitude and family connections. Well, Thanksgiving may not be celebrated here in England, but we at clueQuest certainly have lots to be thankful for! At this time of communal gratitude, let’s consider and give thanks for everything that allows clueQuest to provide such amazing and memorable experiences, time and time again.

Attention, reader. Professor Blacksheep here. Whilst Mr Q’s back was turned, I snuck onto the clueQuest server and am here to wreak some damage! How, you ask?

The new school year has started once again, and with it comes the standard questions: does last year’s uniform fit? Where are my child’s school shoes? How can I make this year stand out above all others as a precious memory that I’ll treasure for years to come? Well, we can’t tell you where your child’s pencil case has ended up, but we can give you some suggestions for making this September one to remember.

It takes a top team to save the world, and we here at clueQuest are very lucky to have our Gamesmakers!
