The prompt

Create a scavenger hunt for me. Occasion: [e.g. "Easter morning", "8-year-old's birthday", "anniversary surprise for my partner"] Players and ages: [WHO] Where: [e.g. "house and backyard", "a park", "our neighborhood"] Hiding spots available: [LIST - e.g. "fridge, mailbox, under the doormat, dog bed"] Number of clues: [e.g. 8-10] Final prize: [WHAT] Style: [rhyming riddles / picture clues for non-readers / puzzles to solve / mix] Rules: - Each clue points clearly to exactly one spot from my list. Match the difficulty to the youngest player who will read it. - Order the route so players don't run back and forth across the space. - For teams, give a parallel route with different clue orders so teams don't just follow each other. - Offer a backup hint for each clue. Return: 1. A table: clue number, the clue text, where it is hidden, and the hint. 2. The starting clue to hand over. 3. A quick setup checklist (hide clues in reverse order). 4. Optional: a small challenge at a few stops (e.g. "do 5 jumping jacks") to keep energy up. For outdoor or public routes, keep clues within a safe area, avoid roads and private property, and make sure young children have an adult with them.
