How does it work?
set up
- Take the mini safe from the box, open it, put some sweets/surprise inside and close it.
- Put the code strip (with 8 symbols) next to the safe.
- Take 8 packages with puzzles out of the box and hide them in the apartment/game space.
- Put the emergency box and instructions aside. You probably won’t need them.
game
- Show the safe and the code strip to the kids.
- Ask them to look for 8 packages that are packed in the same fabric, which they can see on the code strip.
- Each package is marked with one of the symbols from the code strip. Solving the puzzle will give one digit for the code.
- The game starts! It will take somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes.
- Smaller kids (preschoolers and first graders) will probably need some help from you.
- Make sure the children are careful with the puzzles. Explain that the box will be used by many kids to play.
