This Halloween scavenger hunt turns your home into a crime scene where teams must find hidden cards to solve a mystery. By printing the pieces, hiding them, and using checklists to track their progress, players narrow down the suspect, weapon, and location to make their final guess. The first team to correctly identify all three elements wins the game.
Directions
- Print every game piece and tuck each one into its own separate envelope. The envelopes are the sole extra item you need to buy to run this activity.
- Prior to the guests arriving, pull out one suspect card, one location card, and one weapon card. Conceal all the remaining game pieces throughout your chosen play area.
- Once everyone shows up, split the group into teams and hand out a checklist to each squad. These checklists are included with the game and offer a playful method for teams to cross off items as they discover them, helping to eliminate wrong answers.
- Allow the teams to hunt for the hidden game pieces around the area, ticking off the cards they uncover along the way.
- When a team has identified a single suspect, weapon, and location, they can submit their final guess. The first team to guess correctly claims victory.
