Challenge Cards
To add a puzzle to your next GiftTrails hunt, use a Challenge Card (#181–190) from your deck. Slip it into a sleeve and place it along your trail. When your hunter finds it, they’ll be sent back to the kitchen table where their puzzle will be waiting.
Puzzles change the pace of the game. As the Host, you control that pace — we recommend no more than 2–3 puzzles in a 10-step trail. Choose wisely!
