Closet Scavenger Hunt Clues
A closet can work as a clue answer when the host has approved the space. Players should never search personal pockets, bags, boxes, medicine, or high shelves.

How to Use These closet 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.
