LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.

- Hide each clue where the previous clue points.
- Explain boundaries and whether teams race or cooperate.
- Start players with clue one.
- Continue until the final location is found.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use picture clues for younger children, riddles for older groups, or themed birthday and holiday clues.
Make it a great round
Test every clue path before play so nobody gets stuck on an impossible instruction.
Keep everyone comfortable
Do not place clues near roads, heights, locked areas, private property or unsafe objects.
