Especially for kids and teenagers who spend a lot of time with digital media, detective games are a wonderful way to create a healthy balance.
Promoting interpersonal interaction
It doesn't matter whether the game is played one against one or in a team: Exchange, agreements and discussions are always part of detective games. As a result, your child trains its interpersonal skills while playing.
Promotion of emotion processing
Ambition, tension, disappointment, joy, and pride: these are just some of the emotions that can arise when playing mystery games. The games encourage your child to deal with their feelings in an age-appropriate way and to address them in a safe setting.

Critical and problem-solving thinking
In addition, it is in the nature of detective games to promote problem-solving approaches. The special games encourage your child to critically question content and to orient their thinking and actions towards solutions.
From what age are crime games suitable?

However, there are also exceptions: Occasionally, there are detective games that can already be played at an early primary school age, while other products specifically address young people from the age of fourteen.
To find out what age group a game is intended for, you can look at the age recommendation of the provider. Furthermore, it is advisable to assess your child yourself and decide on this basis which game content he or she can already deal with in a meaningful way given his or her current stage of development.
