Location riddlesFormat
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.
