Puzzling Poetry Treasure Chest

Piece the poems back together and bring colour back to the world by completing all the levels along the way. Puzzling Poetry Treasure Chest is an addictive drag-and-drop game where the world has lost its colour. It is the player’s job to bring the colour back by piecing together the poems.

Read and solve poems by twelve well-known Dutch poets, including Annie M.G. Schmidt. After completing all the tasks, you also get the chance to create your own poem. Puzzling Poetry Treasure Chest stimulates vocabulary, creativity and reading comprehension in children and therefore provides a useful contribution to lessons.

The game has been developed by Studio Louter and Lucas Hirsch in collaboration with the Dutch Foundation for Literature and the Creative Industries Fund NL. Ted van Lieshout, the Schrijverscentrale and education professionals have also made creative contributions to the quality of the app’s design.
