Bed Scavenger Hunt Clues

A bed is familiar and easy to identify, but clues should be placed where players can reach them without crawling underneath heavy frames or disturbing someone’s private room.

How to Use These bed Clues

Choose wording that fits the players rather than using every clue at once. Direct clues are best for younger children or an early stop in the route. Rhyming and indirect clues work better after players understand the hunt. Place the clue where it can be reached without moving heavy objects, opening private storage, touching hazards, or damaging the location.
