This is how it's all started.
My son Anton was complaining on his pocket money being not enough and I came up with the idea on how he can earn some. I always consider money as a mean of exchange for something good you offer to the others. So we've been thinking what HE can do.
It was Christmas time and I often set up treasure hunt activity for my son on such occasions. And sometimes he does it back for me. So I just thought that could be it.
In about a week we made problems for the basic set for kids aged 6-10! The activity includes 9 envelopes with clues for 9 places most likely to be in every home, all different puzzles.
Anton made 8 puzzles himself (one is made by MidJourney). We discussed what common places should be included and how we can cipher them. Then he drew them by hand.
It took weeks until the get to the finished set packages for sale. Searching for supplies and then hours of cutting, sorting, assembling, wrapping. Writing instructions, simplifying it, adding hints... It was kind of adventure itself.
And I made an upgraded version for elder kids 11+.
I personally love puzzles. And as a former homeschooling mom, I like how it works for Anton. Making a puzzle is even more challenging than solving one. So I want to continue our project.
PS: These basic sets are still available to order :) The appearance would be a bit different since we are working on wrapping and styling. PM us for the details.
