The Experience

How a typical potion session works

Each chapter is designed as one self-contained adventure โ€” usually about an hour of screen-free time together.

1

Read the story together

Every recipe starts with a short fantasy tale โ€” how a goblin invented a frost resistance elixir, or why a wizard's invisibility serum backfired hilariously.

2

Brew the potion

Follow the recipe to create a real, drinkable potion using everyday kitchen ingredients. Blending, mixing, layering โ€” every recipe produces something colourful and delicious.

3

Complete the activity

Each recipe comes with a activity to go alongside it, blending fun with real-world learning through puzzles, creativity, and problem-solving

Inside the Book

A taste of the adventure

Every chapter follows the same magical structure โ€” a story, a potion, a puzzle, and a hidden code fragment.

Recipe

Chibble's Frost Resistance Elixir

A chilly minty potion topped with snowy foam and sparkling fizz, first brewed by the mountain goblin Chibble to survive the frozen peaks.

Activity

Design Your Own Shield

Choose your house creature, your motto, and your colours โ€” then draw it in the space provided.

Foraging

Identifying Moonpetal Herb

Six illustrated clues describe a fictional woodland herb. Apprentices must match the description to the correct plant.

For Parents

What they're actually learning

Every recipe and puzzle is designed around real curriculum principles โ€” though we'd encourage you not to mention that part.

๐Ÿ“–

Reading & Literacy

Comprehension through story, code-breaking, and creative writing prompts woven into every chapter.

๐Ÿงฎ

Maths & Numeracy

Measuring, fractions, multiplication puzzles, and logic problems all disguised as potion challenges.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Science & Nature

Real animal facts (salamanders, axolotls), food science, and observation activities built into each recipe.

๐Ÿงธ

Food Technology

Kitchen skills, food safety, allergen awareness, and healthy vs unhealthy ingredient recognition.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Safety First

Full safety checklist included. Allergen notes on every recipe. Designed for adult supervision with younger children.

The best potions in this book aren't the ones that glow the brightest or fizz the loudest. They're the ones made twice โ€” once badly, once brilliantly โ€” with someone who didn't mind the mess.

My 8-year-old asked if we could do "potion homework" every night. She doesn't even realise she's practising fractions and reading comprehension.

We bought this for a rainy weekend and ended up using it for six weeks straight. The secret code at the end was genius โ€” my son was SO proud of his certificate.

Finally, an activity book that isn't just colouring pages. Real recipes, real puzzles, and my kids actually drink what they make. The Dragon's Breath smoothie is a weekly request now.

Common questions

Quick answers

What age is Riddle & Brew for?

Ages 8โ€“12. Younger children enjoy the stories and recipes with a parent; older children can tackle the puzzles independently.

Is it safe for children with allergies?

Every recipe includes an allergen flag strip covering the 14 major allergens โ€” dairy, gluten, nuts, honey, citrus, and more. Suggested swaps are listed throughout. Always check labels on packaged ingredients and consult a medical professional if your child has a severe allergy.

How does the Apprentice Certificate work?

Complete the recipes and activities throughout the book, then answer a final apprentice question to unlock your personalised Apprentice Certificate.
