This is a team-based treasure hunt where children follow riddles, maps, and nature-linked observation tasks to find a series of hidden clue stations. At each station, teams solve a prompt connected to valuing nature and valuing people, then earn a puzzle piece. When all pieces are collected, teams assemble them into an A4 “final message” that reveals the location of the final treasure (a nature-connected reward).

How to play – brief game rules

1. Prepare 6–12 stations (indoors or outdoors). Each station has:

• one clue/riddle leading to the next location
• one short mini-task (people + nature connection)
• one puzzle piece (part of an A4 page per team)

2. Divide students into teams of 3–5. Give each team:

• Station 1 clue (or a starting map)
• A clipboard/folder
• A small envelope to store puzzle pieces

3. Teams solve the riddle, travel to the next station, and complete the mini-task.
4. When they complete the task, they collect the puzzle piece and move on using the next clue.
5. When teams collect all puzzle pieces, they assemble them into the A4 final message, which reveals the final treasure location.
6. The final treasure should be nature-linked (e.g., seed paper, a “nature protector” badge, a small plant, a recycled-material craft kit, or a “nature mission” certificate).
