Children’s Puzzle Writer – Create 50 Detective Mystery Cases

I am looking for an experienced children’s puzzle writer and/or activity book creator to develop 50 original, immersive detective mystery cases for children aged 7–9. The working tile of teh book is 'The Holiday Detective Activity Book for Kids Ages 7–9”'. This is not a story book but a kids activity book for school holidays based on solving mysteries . The aim of this book is to make children feel like they are real detectives solving mysteries, rather than simply completing standard activity book puzzles. This should NOT feel like a typical kids’ activity book filled with word searches, crosswords, or random puzzles. Core Creative Requirement: **Each case should: Make the child feel like a detective investigating a mystery Be driven by a storyline with clues Encourage logical thinking, deduction, and reasoning Feel purposeful and investigative rather than “puzzle for puzzle’s sake” **Not all cases need to use traditional puzzles. Some mysteries may be solved through: Process of elimination Careful reading of clues Logical reasoning based on evidence Comparing statements from suspects **In some cases, the child may be given: A list of suspects A set of clues or witness statements A timetable, map, or simple diagram **The child should use these to work out: Who did it What happened Where or when it happened **Scope of Work You will create 50 unique detective cases, each including: Case Title - Fun, mystery-themed, age-appropriate Short Storyline / Scenario Engaging and easy to read Positive, child-friendly tone No violence, crime, or dark themes Relatable everyday situations for children **Investigation Method Each case should clearly explain how the child investigates the mystery, which may include: Solving an integrated puzzle Eliminating suspects based on clues Matching evidence to characters Reasoning through statements or timelines ** Interactive Elements Each case must include opportunities for children to: Write notes Circle or cross out options Draw lines or arrows Complete tables, checklists, or grids **Solution & Explanation Clear and unambiguous final answer Short explanation showing how the clues lead to the solution **Puzzle & Content Guidelines Target age: 7–9 years All content must be 100% original Black-and-white interior only No colour-dependent logic Avoid overused activity book formats such as: Word searches; Simple crosswords; Random mazes; Standalone cryptograms Puzzles or investigative methods should always feel meaningful to the story. ** Themes Cases should be relatable and suitable for school holidays, such as: School and clubs Family and friends Pets and animals Sports and hobbies Travel and days out Seasonal and holiday situations **Design & Illustration Design/illustration skills are not required as a separate designer may be hired, however would be a bonus if the puzzles could also be illustrated. ** Ideal Freelancer would have: Experience writing for children (especially ages 7–9) Experience with activity books, puzzle books, or educational content Strong storytelling and logical thinking skills Clear, friendly writing style To Apply, Please Include A brief description of your relevant experience Examples of previous children’s work (if available) A short sample detective mystery idea I AM OK WITH THE USE OF AI TO HELP WITH THIS PROJECT BUT PLEASE DO NOT JUST GIVE A CHAT GPT SAMPLE ABOUT A MISSING LUNCH BOX OR MISSING LIBRARY BOOK. The mysteries while aimed at kids age 7-9 shouldn't be too simplistic. They need to use their logic skills to solve. They shouldn't be able to solve the mystery in 5 mins. This is a school holidays activity book that should keep them occupied.

Needed: Senior UX & Graphic Designer - Shopify Expert

SENIOR UX & GRAPHIC DESIGNER - LUXURY E-COMMERCE (Shopify Expert) *Note: We use AI and expect you do the same. However, we have an AI usage policy that will be discussed with shortlisted candidates.* We are seeking a senior-level UX & Graphic Designer to complete the design of a luxury high-fashion e-commerce platform built on Shopify. *Not a from-scratch build; budget reflects defined scope.* This is an early-stage, founder-led startup with a small, senior-only team. No juniors. No mid-level talent. The work here establishes the long-term foundation of the brand. Continued engagement is possible only if value is clearly demonstrated. You will collaborate directly with the Founder, alongside a Senior Developer and Marketing Executive, in a high-trust, high-accountability environment. CORE MANDATE - Design and deliver a high-fashion digital experience that reflects authority, restraint, and clarity—across UX, visual identity, and cross-channel brand expression. This is a build-with-intent environment; design decisions must withstand scrutiny over time. *This is not a speed-over-quality role. The scope is highly specific and exacting. REQUIREMENTS (Non-Negotiable) - Technical (Expert Level) - Shopify EXPERT — not “strong experience” - Deep experience with custom themes, UX constraints, and design-to-development handoff - Advanced desktop and mobile-first UX design - Production-ready outputs (Figma or equivalent) CREATIVE (Luxury Standard) - Proven experience in luxury / high-fashion digital design - Exceptional taste, typography, hierarchy, and restraint - Portfolio that reflects editorial-level execution (generic or trend-driven work will not be considered) BRANDING & STRATEGY - Strong understanding of branding systems and brand strategy - Ability to design within and extend brand guidelines intelligently - Web and social design must operate as a single, cohesive brand expression CRITICAL THINKING & OWNERSHIP - Able to think on your feet and articulate why decisions are made - Expected to challenge ideas constructively when brand integrity, UX logic, or long-term viability is at risk—or when a more elegant solution exists - Silence is not collaboration - Strong project discipline: risk-spotting, clear communication, and follow-through WORK ENVIRONMENT - Small, senior-only team - High trust, high accountability—no tolerance for the opposite - Founder-led with a clear long-term vision - Focused, energized, and intentional execution DO NOT APPLY IF: - You require step-by-step direction - You describe yourself primarily as an executor or implementer - You lack direct luxury / high-fashion experience - You cannot articulate the why behind your decisions - You are uncomfortable with high inspection standards and accountability - You are spread thin across multiple clients APPLICATION REQUIREMENT (Read Carefully) - In 150 words or fewer, identify one design decision commonly used in luxury e-commerce that you believe is overused or misapplied. - Explain why it fails and what you would consider instead. - Do not reference specific brands. No links. No visuals. *Submissions that ignore this instruction will not be reviewed.

Digital Marketing Partner for Our Start-up

i-Thrive Well-Being is seeking an experienced UK-based digital marketing and growth partner to work alongside us in a practical, iterative support model. As a growing start-up brand, part of the challenge is building awareness that i-Thrive exists, particularly within our local catchment and among clearly defined audiences. At the same time, the business must generate enquiries, qualified leads, and—critically—confirmed bookings to support sustainable growth. Rather than a linear “audit → wait → implement” approach, this engagement blends fact-based performance review, rapid implementation of clear quick wins, and concurrent strategy development across paid advertising, organic social media, lead generation, and local SEO. This is a hands-on collaboration, not a reporting-only exercise. ________________________________________ Commercial Principle (Important) Paid Digital Advertising = ROI in Bookings For paid digital advertising, the primary and non-negotiable output is return on investment in bookings. Brand awareness, traffic, and lead volume are supporting indicators, but paid media success is judged on cost per booking, booking volume, and revenue impact, not impressions or clicks alone. ________________________________________ How We Expect the Engagement to Work From the outset, the partner will be expected to: • Rapidly assess current performance across paid ads, organic social, website, and local search • Implement immediate improvements to enquiry, lead, and booking flow • Improve clarity of messaging so audiences understand who we are, what we do, and who we are for • Refine targeting, structure, and creative based on observed response • Build a clear growth strategy informed by what actually converts This mirrors how i-Thrive works with its own clients: measure → interpret → act → review ________________________________________ About i-Thrive i-Thrive Well-Being is a UK-based health, wellbeing, and performance business combining evidence-led diagnostics with structured coaching and behaviour change. We work across four domains: • Healthspan, longevity & metabolic health • Sports performance & endurance • Menopause & midlife health • Executive & workplace performance Our approach is underpinned by a proprietary 5-Dimensional Model of Thriving (movement, nutrition, sleep, psychological wellbeing, purpose & lifestyle). We operate between healthcare and wellness in a high-trust, evidence-based space. ________________________________________ What We Do Diagnostics & Measurement DEXA body composition and bone health, VO₂ max, RMR, lactate testing, metabolic and performance profiling — used to inform decisions, not just generate reports. Coaching & Application One-to-one coaching and structured programmes across longevity, menopause, sports performance, and executive performance. Marketing must attract clients who value measured insight and coached behaviour change, not quick fixes. ________________________________________ Physical Presence We operate from a physical testing and consultation facility in Surrey, serving Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, and West Sussex. Local visibility, Google “near me” searches, and reputation are commercially critical. ________________________________________ Scope of Support 1. Paid Digital Advertising (Google & Meta) Primary objective: bookings with clear ROAS Includes performance review (spend → enquiries → leads → bookings), conversion tracking validation, campaign optimisation by service line, budget allocation by cost per booking, and ongoing optimisation. 2. Organic Social Media (Audit & Evaluation) Core platforms: Instagram, Facebook Evaluate the strategic importance of TikTok, Threads, and emerging platforms based on whether they materially support awareness, trust, enquiries, or bookings. 3. LinkedIn Launch – Executive & Workplace Performance Evaluate, launch, or reposition LinkedIn for executive audiences, with a clear content strategy aligned to workplace wellbeing, resilience, and sustainable performance. Support B2B conversations and partnerships. 4. Lead Generation & Conversion Optimisation Website, ads, and social → enquiries, leads, bookings. Includes forms, landing pages, lead magnets, Mailchimp journeys, segmentation, and attribution. 5. Local SEO Google Business Profile optimisation, local keyword strategy, reviews, and on-site local SEO to drive qualified local enquiries that convert. ________________________________________ What We’re Looking For • Experience in health, wellbeing, sports performance, menopause, or executive performance • Comfortable working with start-ups or scale-ups • Strong analytical and commercial mindset • Open to a performance-based or hybrid commercial model • Collaborative, transparent working style UK-based preferred | Surrey-based a bonus Please include: • Relevant experience • Examples of similar work • Your approach to balancing brand awareness with booking ROI • Indicative pricing (initial and ongoing)
