Hidden somewhere here on Planet Earth there is a crater, Trickletown Valley's Crater. It is a place where adventures begin and dreams come true. But you would be very lucky if you found it, as it is hidden in a thick grey mist.
This crater is where the Fuddles keep their fish. In the Million Wiggle Fish Pond, at the centre of Trickletown. The crater is protected by a Rainbow Mist, which not only keeps the inhabitants safe, it keeps them hidden, and because of it, nobody here on Planet Earth has any idea the crater exists.
Beyond the Rainbow Mist swirl the Mists of Time. When visiting Trickletown Valleys' Crater, Time Travellers can pass straight through them, but the mists can be extremely dangerous! If you ever have cause to enter them without the right protection, you might never be seen again!
Everything had been going really well inside the crater, until one day a visitor arrived, but this was no ordinary visitor, this visitor came from planet Earth!
Fortunately, it was only a fox, but this was a warning!
Something was wrong!
The Fuddles had no idea how the fox had managed to get here, until one day it decided to return home. The Fuddles followed it and to everyone's complete surprise! It walked through a fox sized hole in the Mists of Time. This had previously been thought impossible, but there it was ... as plain as the daylight shining through it ... something had changed!
Planet Earth was warming up and the Mists of Time were moving.
The Trickletown Town Committee called a meeting ... something had to be done about it!
The meeting lasted for a week and what they came up with were the Trickletown Valleys Rainbow Quests - 7 Quests to Help Save Planet Earth. They gathered together a team of Fuddles to complete the task and sent them swiftly into the hole in the Mists of Time. They were given strict instructions not to return until their Quests were complete.

Trickletown Valleys' Crater
Many millions of years ago and long before life on Planet Earth had even had the chance to exist, the Crater was not very important at all, just a dusty shallow crater. Nothing grew here, nothing lived here and certainly nothing ever came here. Until one day, out of the stillness of space and from somewhere beyond the Moon, something magical happened!
Its arrival was nothing out of the ordinary, as by all accounts it was just another shooting star - a small insignificant object twinkling in the sky very briefly, before tumbling to the ground, never to be thought of again.
But this particular shooting star had not just arrived here - it had been sent! This small, orange object, only the size and shape of a coconut had tumbled onto the slopes of the Crater.
A small cloud of dust was all that marked the object’s arrival, but before the dust had settled magical things began to happen.
A tiny white root wriggled free and began tunnelling itself into the ground. It was followed very closely by another and soon by several more.
The clouds above the Crater blackened and lightning crackled in the skies. The roots grew larger… Soon they became so big that the ground beneath the Crater started to move.
The roots formed living labyrinths beneath the surface and pushed snow capped mountains high around the Crater’s edge. Soon seven rivers flowed down seven valleys and on the slopes of the Crater, where the shooting star had landed, a curious living tree had started to grow.
The Knick-Knack Tree
To begin with, it looked like any other tree, but this tree was different! Very different! This tree was not just living, it could breathe - it was alive! Soon a face appeared, and two eyes opened. As its large mouth yawned; its breath swept a carpet of life across the Crater’s floor. The Knick-Knack Tree had arrived and the Crater had changed for ever.
The Fuddles
A large number of Fuddles arrived in the Crater. They emerged from beyond a Sizing Stone, set outside of a hole at the base of the Knick-Knack Trees trunk. One of a series of magical stones which protect the very small entrances to the Knick-Knack Tree’s passageways, treasures and secrets.
The Fuddles
Fuddles were human like us, but they had evolved to be slightly different. In addition to some other curious things (which the Knick-Knack Tree Adventures will reveal), they appeared to have ears a little larger or smaller than what you might call normal and they were also super-intelligent and never forget a single thing they were told.
The Fuddles built Trickletown.
Trickletown
Seven hamlets full of colourful houses set between seven river valleys; and seven cobbled streets, each one paved in a different colour of the rainbow, wound past forests and mountains. Inside a circular road named Inner Street, the Fuddles left an area of grass they called ‘The Gambit’.
It was a place where they could go to think, but The Gambit was so much more than just an area of grass. Mysterious and magical things could happen here and in the Knick-Knack Tree Adventures they often do!
