Word Puzzle Packs
Word Puzzles pause the chase. Hunters return to the kitchen table, crack the puzzle, and earn their next clue before racing back out. They’re the perfect breather in the middle of the adventure — just slip in a Challenge Card to add one to your trail.

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!
Try before you dive in! This free download gives you 7 sample puzzles — one of each game type from the carousel above. It’s the perfect teaser to spark laughter, teamwork, and “aha!” moments while giving you a taste of how Puzzle Packs can supercharge your next trail.
