How to play

Choose six to ten hiding places and a final place for the prize.
Write a clue for each place. The clue for place 2 is hidden at place 1, and so on.
Hide the chits backwards: start at the prize and work towards the first clue, so that nothing is missed.
Hand the first clue to the players, or to each team in a different colour of paper.
Players read a clue, run to the place, find the next chit and go on.
The first team to reach the prize wins. Share the treat with everyone.
