```text
Create a 25-minute indoor treasure hunt for [number] people aged [ages], using only these rooms and objects: [list]. The theme is [theme, or choose something surprising].

Make six clues with varied mechanics: a simple observation, a word puzzle, a pattern and a small cooperative task. Keep every hiding place reachable without climbing, moving heavy furniture or opening private storage. Give me a setup sheet, printable clue text, an answer key and a hint for each clue. Check the solution order, make sure each answer leads to the right next clue, and avoid clues that accidentally reveal later answers. Use an existing object as the final treasure. Separate the host-only setup notes from the player clues.
```

## Illustrative example

The case of the missing moon rock

A cereal box, bookshelf and toy astronaut could become six stops in a small space mystery, complete with hints that let younger players stay involved.

This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

## Make it more you

Try a grown-up dinner-party version, a cooperative sibling version, or a hunt with no reading required.
