EVERY EPISODE IS DIFFERENT

What happens at an FTDC Club?

Never come across Flamethrowers & Dreamcatchers before? Think collaborative storytelling, puzzles and imaginative play — with characters, dice and a Games Master guiding the adventure.

  • JOIN YOUR TEAM

    Children sit down with their team of 4-6 players.

  • PICK UP THE ADVENTURE

    The Games Master brings everyone back into the ongoing story and sets the scene.

  • DECIDE WHAT TO DO

    The children talk as a team, investigate, explore, role-play and decide how their characters respond.

  • TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE

    Stories include puzzles, mysteries, negotiations, strategy, characters to meet and problems to solve.

  • SEE WHERE THE STORY GOES

    The children's ideas — and sometimes the dice — decide what happens next.

Every 'Episode' (a club session) is different. A thrilling new adventure that unfolds based on the choices the children make.
