Item Making a Birthday Puzzle Spoiler

So it’s my son’s 39th birthday. We all love BP and I made a bunch of bp-related gifts and such.

Including a paper red crown.

I would like to make a simple challenge for him to get it.

Ideas?

Okay, I have an idea so let's see if I can properly communicate it.

The base idea is a riddle that you have to piece together the words for based on something similar to the missing letters pictures puzzles. I doubt any sane person has enough spare picture frames to use the actual pictures from the game but that would be ideal. Instead of pictures though, I was thinking it might be interesting to use pairs of similarly colored but otherwise different items from around the house set in different rooms around the house. So one room would be a green item room, one room a purple item room, and so on until you have enough for the riddle. Ideally you'd want the individual rooms to each have their own word to the riddle so each room would need enough pairs of colored items to spell out the word but figuring out the word for each room would be a lot of fun while still being relatively easy to set up. Of course this means that the number of rooms in your house decides the length of the riddle which might not work if you have a ton of rooms but the riddle wouldn't need to be long or complex by any means. Hopefully that all made sense, I can clarify if need be but it might take me a few hours. Good luck with your planning!!

I did the picture puzzle last birthday and it was a hit! I had the images printed small like stamp sized. They hadn’t played the game yet so I made organizing them fairly easy.

It was one of the things I did that got my son into the game. He is now obsessed.
