Make it personal without making it generic
Use shared places and interests as flavor while ensuring every clue can be solved from material inside the envelopes.
Presentation
Mail the first envelope before Christmas and place a small brass-numbered key card under the recipient's tree.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- The full hunt fits in four flat envelopes and can be recycled or saved as a small set.
- Skill
- Tune difficulty to the recipient and provide layered hints that preserve satisfaction instead of withholding help.
- Maintenance
- Keep a master solution, mailing schedule, and digital backup until the final puzzle is complete.
- Accessibility
- Offer digital versions, alt text, high contrast, tactile clues, and non-timed play according to the recipient's needs.
- Sustainability
- Use recycled paper, avoid plastic trinkets, and design the envelopes to become part of the final puzzle.
- Timing
- Finish and test all four puzzles before sending the first so later mailings are not rushed.
