How to play Birthday Cake Hunt
Prepare the Clues:

- Start with the final hiding spot (where the cake is hidden) and work backwards to create each clue.
- Example: If the cake is hidden under the table, write: “We eat on my back.”
- Place this card at the previous location (e.g., the oven), with a clue that says: “I cook your meals.”
- Continue this process for the number of clues you want.
Start the Game:
- Announce that the Evil Queen has stolen the birthday cake and left clues behind!
