The trip includes a Scavenger Hunt with lots of fun things to collect on the way.
Each player has their own copy of the Xiama book to fill up.
You can open the book at any time to see how you're going.
Many items come from solving puzzles but
many puzzles allow partial solutions.
All successes earn a score so
there is the possibility of lots of competition between players.
I had a lot of fun creating the puzzles.
This is one of my favourites - a most unusual jigsaw.
And now is probably a good time to pay tribute to my test pilot, Penny.
She spent many long hours trying out all the puzzles
but she assured me that she "loved puzzles".
The puzzles are carefully designed to allow the youngest family members success
but still challenge older members.
