Print pages 1-4. If you are preparing the hunt for more than one player, each player will need a red truck printout and hearts 1-6. Page 5 includes extra hearts if needed.
Cut out all five clues and message card. You only need one set of clues.
Cut out all six hearts. Paper clip each heart to its corresponding clue. For example, heart #1 goes with clue #1. Heart #6 won’t have a clue but you can write a message on the blank card and hide it with that. **If you are preparing this hunt for many players I recommend attaching the clues to envelopes and placing your hearts inside.
Hide all clues and hearts in hiding places listed. Hide a gift with the message card if desired.
Give player(s) the farm truck, which has the first clue, to begin the hunt.
As players find each clue and heart, have them glue or tape the heart into the back of the farm truck. Stack them in a pyramid to make them all fit.
