Instructions

Once you have all gathered on Zoom/Teams (or other platform) for your virtual meeting start sharing the presentation with the series of clues/simple puzzles.
Each relates to something that may be found in the home; either a household item or one that may be useful for the age group.
The idea is to solve the clue, find the item at home and be first back with it. Depending on your platform, you can choose to have Explorers use raise hands feature (in Zoom) to help identify clue winner; or another feature.
Once the clue is 'won' the meeting host moves the group onto the next clue. You could have someone keeping score, as there is a tiebreaker question at the end if you have ultra competitive Explorers or Scouts. The tiebreaker is deliberately chosen to be a bit like 'how many sweets in a jar'? to bring in that element of luck at the end.
