The snacks are ready, the controllers are charged, but disaster strikes - every single video game has vanished! Suddenly, a mysterious note is found near the console. It’s from the infamous prankster known as The Game Glitch, a troublemaker who loves to cause chaos at parties. The note reads: "Think you’re ready to game? Not so fast! If you want your games back, you’ll need to solve my clues. But hurry—the clock is ticking!" Your mission: The Game Glitch has hidden riddles around the house to guide you. Follow the trail of clues, but be warned - there’s some twists and turns along the way.

How long does this activity take to complete?
It really depends on a lot of things. Estimated completion time is 20+ minutes but it’s based on the kids’ reading skills, puzzle skills, group size, and age. It is also HIGHLY based on how difficult it is to find the clue cards. We always suggest folding the riddles and hiding them really well, out of plain sight!

How many kids can play at once?
Kids can play individually, with friends, or with their siblings. For a larger group, you’ll likely want to print and hide multiple copies of each clue. This is not intended to be a party game for large groups, rather a family bonding time activity.

How do I set up the Scavenger Hunt?
To set up the Scavenger Hunt, you will need to cut the clue cards in half and hide them in the appropriate locations. The PDF includes the correct hiding spots for each clue. All hiding spots are common household places such as under the bed, bathroom sink or in a closet. The harder the clues are to find, the more fun the kids have! If clues are hidden in plain sight, the hunt would be completed too quickly.

Where do kids begin?
Kids may begin in any location of your house. Together, the “mission” is read out loud to get your kids hooked. Kids are then handed the first clue card. Each clue card contains a riddle that will lead them to the location of the next clue.

How do I set up the activity?
Just print, cut, hide and play! Everything you need is included in your download.

Do I have to print out the game materials for every kid?
Nope! You ONLY have to print out the answer sheet for each kid or group. Just one set of the actual clue cards is all you need!
