Before you begin
Gather your supplies
Tick these off as you shop, borrow or pull them from the house. The list is a practical starting point, not a claim that every item is required.

How to run it
-
Design Consent-Based Clues
Design Consent-Based Clues: Ask the honouree's partner for private memories. Use tasks the group can complete alone, such as recreating an agreed outfit, arranging a word puzzle or finding an opt-in venue display; never approach, interview or photograph strangers without explicit consent.
-
Choose Permitted Stops
Choose Permitted Stops: Start from a booked, opt-in public venue or a private home. Obtain the organiser's permission for every stop, avoid restricted areas and keep the route on safe public paths with a weather plan.
-
Protect the Record
Protect the Record: Tell every participant that photos are opt-in. Use an access-controlled album, avoid recording bystanders or private interiors, collect no names, phone numbers, location history or other personal data, and delete the album after the event.
-
Book the Finish
Book the Finish: Set teams a fixed end time, a named meeting point and a safe transport plan. Require each guest to return the hunt list and opt out of publication or group chat sharing at any time.
