About the Florida Quest

Are you ready for The Florida Quest?

Do you think you can track clues and solve the riddles with the Trackers? Sharpen your sleuthing skills, because the Trackers can't do it without your help! You will be the ones to solve every caper. Beware! The Trackers sometimes do not recognize a clue when they hear or see it. So pay careful attention to the words in the stories. You might find a clue before the Trackers see it.
