Eight-item everyday object hunt HOST ANSWER KEY - keep private An eight-item seated or room-based object hunt. The host checks an object against each criterion; there is no speed bonus. Set a small, agreed search area. Use only your own objects or items the host has permitted; do not run, open private storage or enter another room without permission. A player may point to, describe, draw or show an item. A seated alternative counts equally. No purchase or camera is required. Allow 45 seconds per item and accept equivalent objects meeting the stated criterion. One object may count only once; skip any unavailable item for everyone. Count one point per verified item. Share ties. Finish with one minute to put objects back. Scoring: One point per criterion met, maximum eight. No speed bonus; no deduction for passing. Find or describe 1. Find something with a clearly visible blue part. Answer: Any permitted object with a blue part. Host note: The host asks which part is blue; a drawing or description is equally acceptable. 2. Find an object with a circular face or base. Answer: For example, a cup base, clock face or roll of tape. 3. Find something used for writing. Answer: For example, a pen, pencil or stylus. 4. Find something made mainly of paper. Answer: For example, a notebook, envelope or paper bag. 5. Find an object that can hold another small object. Answer: For example, a box, bowl or pencil case. 6.
