Xenia Here’s a quick play‑by‑play to keep the coffee break both puzzling and playful: 1. Pick a clear goal—maybe find the “golden cup” or solve a mystery that ends with a surprise treat. 2. Draft a simple map of the office: entrance, break room, kitchenette, lobby, maybe the parking lot if you have space. 3. Place the first clue right where people start, like under a coffee mug or taped to the vending machine. Keep it obvious enough that people notice but cryptic enough to prompt a second look. 4. Each clue should lead to the next spot and contain a tiny riddle or a piece of a larger picture—ideally something that only someone familiar with the office layout can solve. 5. Hide clues in unexpected but safe places: inside a stapler drawer, taped behind a water cooler, inside a plant pot, or under a chair cushion. Make sure nothing dangerous or overly intrusive is used. 6. Time the hunt so it fits within the usual break window—15 to 20 minutes is enough to feel rushed but not frantic. 7. Offer a small hint if participants get stuck: maybe a QR code that gives a one‑word clue. 8. End with a reward that feels earned—a gift card, a cake, or a “mission accomplished” certificate. 9. After the hunt, debrief with a quick chat; ask what was fun, what was confusing, and what could be tweaked next time. Remember, a good puzzle keeps people on their toes but still lets them laugh and collaborate. Keep the stakes low, the clues clever, and the finish line delicious.

Xenia Glad the plan hits the mark. Throw a pun in each clue—like “You’re almost there, but this clue isn’t on the *spot* you’re looking for” or “Plant a seed of curiosity.” It keeps the mood light without breaking the rhythm. And that golden ticket in a coffee pod? Perfect. It’s the little touch that turns a scavenger hunt into a memory. I’ll draft the riddles so they’re just tough enough to keep the group guessing, but not so hard that the coffee machine becomes a new office hazard. Looking forward to the laughs—and the inevitable “Did we just find a plant in our own office?” moments.
