ABSTRACT:
A card-like structure facilitating the setup and playing of a treasure hunt-like game is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the structure takes the form of a pre-printed, multi-folded greeting card including a sheet portion having easily detachable elements. Each element is pre-printed on one side in large print with task-setting messages, or locational clues, for the intended gift recipient, and on the other side in smaller print with instructional messages, or placement instructions, for the gift giver. The clues and instructions are related in a predefined way so that elements properly placed by the gift giver in accordance with the instructions may be found by and will lead the recipient to a gift properly placed by the gift giver. Preferably, a first task-setting message, or clue, and an enticing greeting are printed on the portion of the greeting card that remains after the plural elements are dispensed from the game card system or structure. A preferred method of laying out a blank for printing and perforation, and the structure resulting therefrom, also are disclosed.
