Junior Detective Collective: The Mystery of the Golden Scoop

• Interactive
Victoria • World Premiere
The Juicy Orange are back! But this time... you decide the ending.

It's a typical Wednesday at Dice-Cream-Ice-Creamery, when suddenly it's revealed the golden scoop has been stolen. Uh oh.

In this exciting new 'whodunit', everyone's guilty. Join the 'Junior Detective Collective' and work together to unravel the mystery of who stole the golden scoop. Was it Sir Sardine Clampepper? Was it Professor Pistachio? Or was it even... you?

'Junior Detective Collective: The Mystery of the Golden Scoop' has a "choose your own adventure" style structure, where the children join the 'Junior Detective Collective' and play a pivotal role in unravelling the mystery. The audience not only personally discover and reveal hidden evidence, but ultimately, they solve the mystery.

Presented by: The Juicy Orange

The Juicy Orange are an energetic theatre troupe who are passionate about the exhilaration and spirit behind interactive theatre for children. In 2019, this small but extraordinarily silly team brought their debut show, “Topsy and Turvy’s Twisty Turny Journey” to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. At the 2021 Adelaide Fringe, The Juicy Orange are aiming to take their unique style of interactive theatre to the next level. As in addition to this, the children will make choices along the way that truly influence the outcome of the story. Their work is driven by the idea that when children play a role in the evolution of a story, and individually influence its conclusion, the story becomes connected to that audience, and from here, the children become connected to the spirit of the story.
