Choose safe clue locations

Good choices include an empty shelf, a clean workbench corner, a bicycle basket, a labeled sports bin, or the outside of a storage cabinet. Never place clues near fuel, chemicals, blades, power tools, ladders, vehicle tires, or automatic doors.

Keep the route visible

Players should not need to move heavy boxes, climb shelves, open unapproved cabinets, or reach beneath vehicles. Mark the permitted area before the hunt begins.

How to Use These garage 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.
