  1. 1

    Print the kit

    Open the print kit. It has the clue sheets (with the secret words for you only), plus QR tents and QR stickers.

  2. 2

    Cut and fold

    Fold tents along the dashed line, or cut out the round stickers. Each tag has a number.

  3. 3

    Hide the tags in order

    Read each clue sheet. Clue 1 points to a spot — hide tag #2 there. Clue 2 points to the spot for tag #3, and so on. Tag #1 is the start.

  4. 4

    Test one phone

    Scan tag #1 and check the first clue and its audio play. Turn the volume up.

  5. 5

    Start the game

    Players scan tag #1. For groups, tap “Play as a group” so everyone shares the same vaults.

  6. 6

    During play

    When players find a tag, the phone opens that vault. They type the secret word from the last clue to see the next one.
