Creative Use #1: Birthday Scavenger Hunt
If you have a son or daughter who enjoys solving puzzles, design a scavenger hunt that will unfold over several days. Choose a time-period for the hunt, such as a week, where each day there is a new “gift” to find. Plan hiding places for the gifts, as well as a series of clues throughout the day, each with a riddles, references, and hints as to where the gift is located. Take advantage of Texder’s customizable message feature to change the clue, picking specific times when each clue becomes available. Select the the 10-day, 50 message package, which will allow you can create 5 clues for each day. Design clues work around their schedule, such as before school, at lunch, after soccer practice, and just before dinner. Your son or daughter can text in to get the clue, each one getting them a little closer to their gift.
