General Sweets must be so angry. Thankfully, Suzie didn’t see the panic on my face because she turned around to get my last two presents. “Okay, this one is a bit silly.” She said, giving me a big present that felt very soft. Inside was a stuffed animal, which looked like an alien or something. “It’s a squishmallow.” Suzie explained. “It’s really soft. I have one for when I feel upset. It’s nice to snuggle with or use as a cushion. It’s silly, and if you don’t like it, -“

The host of the game, a man with a rugged beard and a commanding presence, stood in front of us, his eyes scanning the crowd before he began to speak. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the orienteering scavenger hunt!" His voice boomed, filling the silence. "This isn't your typical scavenger hunt where you just have to search for items. Oh no! This game requires some skills, strategy, and navigation through the woods. Each team will be given a map and compass to guide them to specific items scattered throughout the forest. The team with the most items gathered within the time limit wins!" The students murmured with excitement as the host explained the rules, their eyes darting around the woo

the coordinator announced, “you two get a private afternoon sail around Willow Lake with a picnic basket for two. Everything packed and ready—courtesy of the camp.” “Ooooh,” someone in the back whistled. Carolina raised her eyebrows dramatically and turned to Katherine, whispering, “private afternoon sail around Willow Lake with picnic basket .” Katherine chuckled and gave her a playful shove. “Enjoy it. You earned it.” After the prize was announced, the coordinator raised her megaphone again. “And for everyone else—you each get one of these!” She held up a small metal pin shaped like a compass rose. “Your official Scavenger Hunt Badge. Wear it with pride. Stick it on your lanyard. Or give i

“We have a series of events lined up, including a scavenger hunt, a relay race, and a nature-inspired obstacle course! Remember, the focus is on having fun and supporting each other.” As the teams were formed, Leo noticed the excitement spark in everyone’s eyes. The children quickly bonded over their shared goals, laughing and strategizing as they prepared for the first challenge—the scavenger hunt. With a list of items to find in hand—like a feather, a specific type of leaf, and a smooth stone—the teams set off into the woods, their laughter echoing through the trees. Leo felt a surge of joy as he watched them explore, working together to locate the items. “Over here!” he heard one of the S

Katie asked, glancing nervously at Alexander. “It’s a… scavenger hunt,” Alexander handed her a folded card. “I figured it’s the best way to incorporate everyone’s gifts for you in a single game for the distraction.” “Distraction?” Alexander cussed under his breath and shook his head. “We just thought a scavenger hunt is a great distra- I mean, pasti- I mean,” Alexander heaved a sigh. “Please follow the clues.” Katie accepted the card from Alexander and read the first clue:

"You'll get the first clue, and from there, you'll have to search hidden locations on campus for the next clue. The first team to find the treasure is the winner!" Lucas clapped his hands. "I love a challenge!" Meredith just smiled a little. For some reason, she felt that there was something... strange about this game. When the organisers handed out the first clue, Maya immediately read aloud. "In a quiet place, where books sing, look for hidden answers." The teams split up immediately, and Meredith and her friends knew where they had to go. "The library," said Raven. "It's obvious." They ran towards the library, passing through the hallways of a campus filled with students busy with their o

I ignored the body and turned to Charlotte and her remaining friend, saying, "Freshen up and head to work. You know there are consequences for being late." Only the two of them were left. They trailed closely behind me as we walked. It was clear they were shaken by what they had seen. "My father's assigned you both to sales today," I told them. "You'll each get a phone. The clients' contacts are already saved. Your job is to negotiate deals and sell this piece of clothing." Their eyes followed my finger to the garment I indicated. One glance was all it took to send chills down their spine. "T-This fabric… It's so strange," the other woman commented, her voice low and cautious.

I called after him. “I heard that.” “Good! That means you’re still in one piece.” The door shut behind him, sealing the room in comfortable, haunted silence. --- “Okay,” I said to Brenda, “step one: find the vampire sunscreen ring before he turns into royal charcoal.” The drawer slid open by itself. Inside: a gold coin etched with a sun devoured by a crescent. “Clue?” I asked. The chandelier blinked twice. “Copy that. Haunted scavenger hunt initiated.”

Just one teeny tiny day. The night before the field trip, I was putting together the packets for the scavenger hunt in the kids’ section of the library. It was a simple list that would help them understand how the library’s sorting system worked. I’d already called ahead and learned that very young children’s books were marked with shapes of animals and fruits to help non-readers find the kinds of books they liked. The hunt only had a few tasks like “find a book about a bear” and “find a book about a princess.” Hopefully, it would show the students how fun a library could be. I was finishing up the last of my prep work when my phone rang.

he said, and Hazel huffed, leaning back. “I wish there was a way I could have fun with my mate without worrying about some witch coming to take away my happiness.” Soon, the students finished eating and gathered at the campground. “Today, we have the pack hunt relay game,” the camp director began. “In this game, each school will choose four members. The four of them will partake in a hunt relay, whereby one member races through the woods to find the hidden items on the map. When they find the first item, they tag the next member, and it continues until the last. You can start anywhere. There are ten items, and the first school to get all ten or more of the hidden items wins. Game on, and goo
