The Spiderwick Chronicles is a best selling series of children's fantasy books. The movie, Spiderwick Chronicles, was released earlier this year. University Games, the well known manufacturer of games and puzzles, has come out with a series of great games based on the Spiderwick Chronicles. Here's a look at the Spiderwick Chronicle games from University Games.
1. The Spiderwick Chronicles - The Fantastical Field Guide Mystery Game

The Spiderwick Chronicles - The Fantastical Field Guide Mystery Game is based on the Spiderwick Chronicles movie. The three Grace children Jared, Mallory and Simon have moved into the Spiderwick Estate. The theme of this board game is finding the precious Uncle Arthur Spiderwick's Fantastical Field Guide.
Players can choose to be either the Grace children or goblins. Both parties are in a race to get the book to their respective destinations - Uncle Arthur or the ogre Mulgarath. The setting for the game is a nicely designed 3-D board depicting Spiderwick Estate. The movement and tool cards control where the players land up. It's quite possible that somewhere down the line you can switch courses and reach where you don't want to be!
2. The Spiderwick Chronicles - The Secret Study Puzzle
University Games
I love a good puzzle. It's especially more fun when the puzzle is based on an intriguing movie like Spiderwick Chronicles. University Games has come out with a 200 piece puzzle called The Spiderwick Chronicles - The Secret Study Puzzle. As the name suggests, the setting of this puzzle is in a secret study on location at the Spiderwick Estates. The picture that needs to be put together is full of old cobwebs, test tubes and what not! If you like the movie, you will definitely enjoy this puzzle.
