What Children Will Practice

Each case asks children to combine details, vocabulary, and what they already know. The goal is not simply to guess—it is to find the one answer that fits every clue.

👀Observation

Notice important details and object features.

💡Making Inferences

Combine clues with prior knowledge.

📖Vocabulary

Understand words describing shape, use, and location.

🧠Critical Thinking

Compare possibilities and eliminate wrong answers.

✏️Reading Comprehension

Read carefully and connect information.

🔎Attention to Detail

Use every clue before solving the case.

Detective Fact!

Real detectives do not rely on random guesses. They collect clues, compare evidence, and remove answers that do not fit until only one possibility remains.

About This Free Making Inferences Game

Lino's Lost & Found Agency is a free online detective game created for preschool, kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 learners. Children identify familiar everyday objects by reading three descriptive clues. Each set of clues moves from an object's appearance to its function and then to the place or situation where it is commonly used.

The activity develops reading comprehension, vocabulary, observation, logical reasoning, and making inferences. Younger learners may choose the TAP mode and select an answer from four choices. More experienced readers may choose the TYPE mode and enter their own answer without choices.

After two incorrect attempts, Detective Lino provides an extra clue. Correct answers unlock a short fact and an optional drawing activity, allowing children to create their own LOST poster before continuing to the next case.

How to Play

Read all three clues before choosing an answer.

Choose TAP for answer choices or TYPE to enter your own answer.

Compare each possible answer with every clue.

Use Lino's extra clue if you are still stuck after two attempts.

Solve all ten cases and earn the CASE CLOSED ending.

Ready to Join the Agency?

Accept the mission, choose how you want to answer, and open Case File 001. Drawing the objects is optional, so children may continue directly to the next mystery.
