    My Teenager knows she will get the posh Lindor maxi egg, but some hunting is called for.

    So I made a trail of clues in the house, starting from family jokes, with a bit of books thrown in (drew Five little pigs, pointing to the Christie book), fairytale references (kiss the frog- there's a note by the pond in a plastic bag) gardening stuff (You'll go where no man go before- Mango seedlings) etc.

    Can't wait for the morning:heehee: Thank goodness I have a kid, albeit a 18 year old one... In the coming years I'll be making treasure hunts for myself. Actually, with my advancing years already bringing up surprises such as definitely nonplanted Tulips it'll not be such a big step :biggrin:

    Anyways, Happy Easter everyone! :)

      She got it in the end, and enjoyed the challenge. 5 Little Pigs was hard, but the clue on the Agatha Christie book even harder. Pigs are cute, unlike the BIRDS.

      It took several trips to the bird feeding station, birdwatching books etc until she thought of the Hitchcock film we watched not too long ago. :biggrin:

      All in all, a nice Easter weekend with cousins and grandparents on Skype calls. We are getting used to this now. :)
