If you’re looking for something to do this vacation week – something AMAZING! – then you’ll want to make your way to one of the shows that I will be presenting during February vacation week! You have not one but TWO chances to come to Book Love in Plymouth to have a blast and enjoy a beautiful bookstore at the same time!

Not a lot of traveling this week, but sometimes that’s really nice. Plus, I get to visit the Plymouth Early Childhood Center – a school I actually worked at when it was located on Mt. Pleasant St in Plymouth. It was the third school I was employed at after the Discovery Center and then working at the Head Start program in Plymouth. I still get to see a few of the people I worked with some twenty years ago. As the saying goes, You can never go home again” but let me tell you, it feels fantastic to visit!

An exciting experience brought to you by Big Ryan’s Tall Tales! Everyone loves Mystery Rooms and now children 7-16 can partake in a real life mystery! These Traveling Mystery Rooms are open to all ages (ages 7-9 with parental assistance) and include riddles, observation and memorization puzzles, physical challenges, as well as games promoting math and geography!

I have been getting a lot of inquiries about how the rooms run and what kind of space is required. I can fit into any space and the rooms run with two game masters who help with clues and hints if anyone is struggling.

These fun games offer chances to use cognitive thinking and reasoning skills, as well as encourage team building with a healthy dose of competitive spirit!

There are two games to choose from:

“The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery”

and

“The Monster Mash”

If you’d like a chance to host one of these family friendly and child appropriate traveling mystery rooms, please call (508) 641-5336 or email me at ryanstalltales@hotmail.com

I have forever said just how much I love the classic There is a Monster at the End of this Book!

I read this with my niece tonight and did a reading on Facebook Live this past weekend – go check it out if you want – It was so much fun!
