The Vault

You’ve built your trail. You’ve presented it to your Hunter. They’ve slayed the clues. But are they through? Before they reach the trail’s end and claim their prize, let’s make ‘em work for it. 

100 Mind Bender Options. At the Finish Line.

The Vault is opened only for the stiffest of challenges. These are brain teasers that are not placed along the trail. These mind benders are stacked at the end of the trail. For the heartiest of Hunters. Or the most heartless of Hosts.

With just one step left in the game. One step separating the Hunter from the trail’s end, the Host can force the Hunter into the Vault. The Vault plays host to 100 additional tickling brain teasers.

Select your favorites listed below. Print them out. Place each in a sealed envelope along with a token poker chip, a bottle cap, a nickel or whatever you like. As the Hunter opens each successive envelope, they answer the question and collect the tokens. But for those teasers that stump them, the Hunter buys the answer back from the Host with the token.

In the final envelope, insert your final Clue Card and return your Hunter to the trail for one last step before claiming their prize.

Poker Chips. Bottle Caps. Cash. Pride. What are the stakes?

Go ahead. Wear them out.

Your Vault Selections

Your brain teasers are listed below. Select your favorites and print. Page 1 will be the question to present to your Hunter. Page 2 will be the answer to conceal from the Hunter. Place each of your selections in a sealed envelope along with your token of choice. Force your Hunter to answer each, and buy back the answers if they get stumped. Then to end the game, tuck a final Clue Card in with your final envelope and deliver the Hunter to the trail’s end. Good luck!
