SECRET MISSION:
The cherished annual Thanksgiving dinner is just around the corner, but disaster has struck! The family’s famous pumpkin pie, a tradition passed down through generations, has mysteriously disappeared from the kitchen. The pie, known for its perfectly spiced filling and flaky crust, was set to be the star of tonight’s feast. Without it, the celebration will be incomplete! It looks as though the pie thief has left behind a trail of clues. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to follow the trail of clues, recover the stolen dessert, and ensure it makes it to the table before dinner starts.

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!
