About the kit

How do the puzzles connect?

Each answer is a number from 1 to 6. The players’ Flight Board maps that number to one of your locations. They also collect the letter under their answer. Six missions produce a six-letter rescue command, which the host checks at the final envelope.

Do I need a big house or garden?

No. Six labeled envelopes on one table work well. Hiding is optional. If you customize the locations, use distinct names and accessible places in one agreed play area.

Is this for a birthday, a class or a rainy afternoon?

Any of those can work. The kit is designed for 2–6 players aged about 7–10, with an adult hosting. Strong readers can help younger players. Timing is an estimate; the kit has not yet had observed human playtests.

Can I reuse it?

Yes, for your own household, classroom or private event. Change the seed for a different route and puzzle details. The six puzzle types stay the same. Print fresh player and host packs together. Please do not resell the generator or its output.

Will my details be stored?

No. The builder uses no accounts, cookies, analytics, external fonts or network services. Reloading resets the form. Only the personalized HTML file you explicitly download contains your names and settings.

What if a puzzle is too hard?

The host guide includes two hints for each mission and full explanations. Offer hints freely, work as a team, or switch to Cadet and print again. There is no elimination or required timer.
