Mysteries in Time is a monthly educational subscription for children, designed to bring history to life for 6-11 year olds.
While aimed at 6-11 year olds, this is more of a guidance than a limit.
Younger children may still find it accessible, depending on their reading ability and how much adult support they get. Older children may still love it too!
Most children aged 6-11 will happily enjoy the fun activities in Mysteries in Time independently, but they are wonderful activities to share and enjoy together! We do recommend adult supervision when they get started with the craft/activity in the Bumper Box subscription.
NB: not suitable for children under 3, due to small parts.
Yes! While each adventure is packed full of educational goodness, it has been designed by a primary school teacher to disguise the learning into a fun package so your child won’t even realise they’re learning!
Mysteries in Time can be used to support or complement the curriculum, but it does not exclusively follow it. We believe in a broad educational experience and are happy to be free from the constraints of the curriculum; we will choose our historical topics based on how interesting we think they are to explore and learn about.
Yes! We send our adventures in a fun order, moving between ancient, middle and modern history. If you prefer to explore the adventures in your own order, we can send multiple adventures at once. Please place your order for 3-month / 6-month / 12-month plan, then email us requesting that we ship them all at once.
All subscriptions are auto-renewing. However, you can simply log straight in to your account after placing the order. On the ‘Subscriptions’ page, choose to ‘view’ the relevant subscription: here you can turn the auto-renew off. Alternatively, you can ‘suspend’ or ‘cancel’ the subscription. Any adventures that you have already paid for will still stand, it just means you have paused or cancelled the auto-renewal aspect.
