Good for

Halloween parties for kids ages 7-12
Groups of 2 to 12 players
A 60-90 minute party centerpiece

A grumpy little ghost named Wisp has locked all the Halloween candy in a cursed trunk. Your Curse Breakers follow a trail of 9 hidden envelopes, and every answer reveals where the next one is hiding. Crack the final code, say the magic word, and the treats are theirs.

Print it at home the night before the party. There are no padlocks or boxes to buy: the locks are clever paper wheels.
