''[[Meddling Kids]]'' is a [[Roleplaying Games|roleplaying game]] designed for kids 7 and up written by Allyson Brooks and published in 2004 by Pandahead Productions. Strongly inspired by ''[[Scooby-Doo]]'' and similar works, it casts its players as preteen, tween and/or teen members of a mystery-solving gang. Of course every such gang has a mascot, which the game calls the Wild Card. Run by the GM, the Wild Card acts as a [[Deus Ex Machina]] who shepherds the gang toward (or away) from the solution as needed to maintain the plot.
As it's aimed at children who are likely to be first-time roleplayers, it's designed to explain roleplaying and uses own unique game system -- The Starter System -- that is planned as a springboard to other, more involved games. Its adventures are also short, usually lasting an hour or so, the better for young players with limited attention spans.
''Meddling Kids'' can be purchased online [https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/83837/Meddling-Kids here].
Not to be confused with the 2017 novel of the same name.
