Ready to Go!

  With the start of the first clue hunt of the season bearing down on me, I think everything is ready to go....I hope.  I hope that I have not forgotten to do something important like set the clues!  Today, the main focus was on the tea party for the guests.  I baked lots of pretty party foods that would be suitable for the theme and had fun setting the table with dishes that I do not normally use. Since I am a bit more "country clunky" (to use one of Mom's terms), fine china and crystal rarely (if ever) get used here in the Little Bayou House.  BUT!  This is a tea party!  So everything has to be fit for the Queen, even if that queen reigns only over the Bayou.

 Speaking of tables, there are two other tabletops filled with the most odd assortment of trinkets.  These tablescapes are to be examined by the team members.  Perhaps, hidden amongst the oddities, there are a few clues that will lead them to other places.  Can you spot the clues?  Nope, there are no written clues in my hunts.  The players have to be astute and find clues where none seem to be hidden.  An item simply "out of place" could be the answer to finding the next clue.  A series of locked boxes, mind puzzles and tools will come into play during their search for answers.  In previous hunts, the teams have done well and solved the mysteries that abound on the Bayou. They have solved murders, escaped locked rooms and debunked legends.  This year, things are a bit different.  This is the first time that they will actually be hunting a treasure!

  So, the table is set, the food is prepared and the clues are all in place.  The stage is set and I am just waiting for the role-players to arrive.  This should be fun for all...me, especially!
