birthday treasure hunt clues
At the party, the birthday kid's present becomes the treasure. With the Birthday theme, type the name and card 1 says today is their day; the final card congratulates them and repeats what the prize is. The chain open by default goes through Bookshelf, Fridge, Mailbox, Dining table, Pillow, Backyard tree, Shoes, Kitchen cabinet.
“Soft and puffy, I'm your friend / when the day comes to an end. / Lift me up and look below, / a little clue is hiding. Go!”
“Hangers, jackets, shirts in a row, / pants and sweaters, down below. / Open my doors and look around: / a clue is hanging, safe and sound.”
“Blocks and robots, balls and bears, / lots of toys in tangled pairs. / Dig around, you'll find with glee / a clue that's meant for you and me.”
“On ordinary days I am an office, a classroom and a craft studio; on holidays I become a stage for a feast. Four legs, not one step. What am I?”
“Every morning, there's a line, / for the brew that smells so fine. / Look beneath a mug nearby: / a clue is hiding. Give it a try!”
Choose 6 to 12 hiding spots, let the tool chain the order and print the cards. The first clue goes to the player, each later card is hidden at the previous spot and the last spot holds the treasure. With 55 ready-made spots at 3 original clues each, a set of 8 becomes 8 clue cards plus 1 final card, 9 cards in all.
Type the name in the hunter field. Card 1 starts greeting them and so does the final message. The name stays saved only on this device and goes to no server.
Between 6 and 8 per team keeps the pace; past 10, the younger kids lose interest. For big groups, make two chains instead of one long one.
Yes. Use the Teens and adults level and, if you like, one of the puzzles. The Neutral theme removes the birthday wording for a low-key surprise, and Birthday keeps the congratulations.
At the last spot in the list, next to the final card. If the present is big, change the order with the arrows to end at a roomy place; if it is small, any drawer will do.
In the print dialog, turn off "Headers and footers" and keep the scale at 100% so the cards print cleanly.
