Each six starts at a different question number on the sheet (a location in town) so they don't all go round together. Teamwork: They must work out which premises to visit from the clues as a six, then hike around town visiting each premises using as efficient a route as possible. They must visit as many of the locations as they can in the allotted time. Adults to take an amusing photo of their six at each location found to prove they've been there.
