Things to Note:

‍

What is a clue ball?

I am approximately 3 inches in diameter and made out of clear plastic.

However, some of my hiders like to camouflage me. At least half of me must remain clear however (so I can breathe) and a part of that clear portion will be showing without you having to move anything.

When you find me I will have a piece of paper inside directing you where to go to claim your TREASURE - A Glass Ball.

Rules for a Successful Quest

1. Be Respectful - Host businesses have opened their stores to you, please abide by their rules. When In Community Sites Do NOT USE STICKS Of Any Kind (Including Walking Sticks.) Respect vegetation & wildlife and leave no trace.

‍

2. Don't Ask - Enjoy the thrill of the hunt, don’t ask “has it been found today?” Businesses may provide clues-but this is not required.

‍

3. Be Respectful - All clue balls will be visible (albeit camoflauged on occasion) Please do not move merchandise or disturb vegetation - clue balls should be found using your EYES ONLY.

‍

4. Time's Up - If you have not found the clueball within 15-20 minutes it is probably not there, don't linger. Come back and try tomorrow.

‍

5. Find & Have Fun! - Have a great time and limit your Treasure to One Per Person Per Year. You can purchase as many Non-Certificated Balls as you would like (available as supplies last!) Don’t forget to thank the host business!
