- - - - Clue #1: Mirror Clue
      - The text on this clue reads:
      - In order to become super spies, you must learn to use your eyes! “Reflect” on this message to find your first clue.
      - Then, on the bottom half is a poem that has been flipped so that it has to be viewed in a mirror in order to read it. It says:
      - You can eat hot dogs boiled or fried, but to make them taste best, better go outside!
      - That clue leads to an outdoor barbecue grill.
    - - Clue #2: Stretched Word Clue
      - This clue says the word FRIDGE with some extra squiggly lines before and after the word. The whole thing is stretched so that it’s difficult to read unless you lay the clue on a flat surface and then crouch down so that the clue is at eye level.
      - *This clue is included in the printables. I figure everyone has a fridge, so this clue should work for anyone.
    - - Clue #3: Peek-A-Boo Cipher
      - This clue is found in the refrigerator. Here’s what it says:
      - Head to the room that holds nothing but books. Find “Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Dinosaur Bones.” Solve this math problem to find the page you need.
      - (10 x 3) -1 =
      - The kids solve the math problem, go to the den to find the books, and locate the specific book. Then, they slide the cut-out page into the book (on page 29). The clue can then be read through the cut-out windows. (Sorry I can’t give you a template for this one. This was definitely the trickiest clue to create!) The message reads:
      - The missing clue is found at the front entrance.
    - - Clue #4: Graphing Cipher
      - The next clue is found outside and near the front door. Using the graphing cipher, the message reads:
      - Mary, Mary, quite contrary
      - The clue leads to the garden. *The graphing cipher key is included in the printables.
    - - Clue #5: Mason Cipher
      - The clue in the garden, when translated, says, “Tall Clock.” The next clue is found on the Grandfather clock.
      - *The mason cipher key is included in the printables.
    - - Clue #6: Scytale Cipher
      - The kids use the toilet paper tube to decipher the last clue. To make this clue, cut a long strip of paper and wrap it around the toilet paper tube. Write your message, and then unroll the paper strip. Without the toilet paper tube, it is unreadable.
      - The final clue leads the agents to the backyard, where they find this Time Bomb Piñata. Stay tuned for my next post to find out how I made it.
