How it works

  1. Print the kit

    Every page is sized for A4 or US Letter. Print at 100%. The host guide tells you what goes in each envelope.

  2. Hide eight envelopes

    Put one puzzle in each numbered envelope and hide them around one room. Keep the Star Map apart until the code is complete.

  3. Play for an hour

    The team solves each puzzle and takes the first letter of the answer. The eight letters open the final map, which names the hiding place.

The Christmas game

The Missing Star

The North Star has vanished, and without it Santa’s sleigh cannot fly. Eight sealed envelopes hold the clues. Each answer gives one letter; the eight-letter code opens the Star Map. The map names who moved the star and where it is hidden.

No locks, no app, no special parts

A printer, scissors, nine envelopes and a pencil. That is the whole setup. The puzzles are on paper, the clues are in the room, and the final answer is something the team can hold.

Printable means no parcel to wait for and no screen in the middle of the table. Buy it once and print it for your own family, or for a class or party you are running.
