In 1997, four kids vanish in Silverpoint woods. Twenty-three years later, one boy aims to find out what really happened.
Dragonfly compete against three other groups in a series of challenges designed by a strange alien presence. Each task takes place in a very different alternate reality, and these sixteen kids must now use their wits and imaginations to win. And the prize theyâÂÂre fighting for? To save the worldâ¦
If a group should lose, or decide to quit, the alien artefacts will wipe their memories of the whole adventure. For Dragonfly, the stakes couldnâÂÂt be higher â if unsuccessful, theyâÂÂll not only lose the game, but also their memories of each other and everything theyâÂÂve been through together. Put simply: theyâÂÂre fighting for their friendship.

Silverpoint received positive reviews.
Joly Herman of Common Sense Media rates the show three stars out of five, saying, "Mild, to-the-point, action-packed and mysterious, this show engages while avoiding disturbing or violent territory." She also said that "it's not the strongest, most complex show out there, but it will appeal to tweens or younger teens who want to watch Stranger Things but are too young or too skittish to do so."
Silverpoint was nominated for two BAFTAs, a Kidscreen Award for Best Live-Action Series, and won an RTS NI Award for Children and Animation.
