codebusters halloween party game
how to set-up & play

1. 30 game cards are hidden through the hiding area - 14 Halloween Monster cards (8 are used the others are red herrings), 8 Riddle cards, and 8 Code Cards. 

2. The locations where the cards are hidden are in listed on the Key Locator, the Host determines where the locations are and when they type the location on the Key Locator it automatically changes the letters to the code letters. 

3. Players can all work together or you can divide them into two or three teams of 2-4 players.  If you want to play with more players than these you will need to print out double the game cards and add more teams.

4. Each team gets a Key Locator and a Players Sheet to start the game.  The players sheet has a brief list of instruction, the translator to decode the hiding locations, and spaces to write the numerical answers in.  

There are 8 numbers that players must find in order to discover the four digit winning code.  To find a number players must first answer a riddle.

See samples below.

5.  Once players answer the riddle they then must find the CodeBuster card that answers that riddle.

6.  Once Players find the right CodeBuster card they must then find the Code Card that matches the color of the riddle.  They will then place the CodeBuster card over the Code card and through the key hole the code number will be revealed. 

For the above example the clue is purple, so the code number revealed will be written on the teams Player Sheet (as seen below) in the purple square.  Once players figure out the code numbers for the other 7 boxes they can do the simple math to determine the four digit combination to win the game. 

CODEBUSTERS HALLOWEEN PARTY GAME
3 ways to play!

TREASURE HUNT:  This is when you hide the clues through out a playing area, it can be outdoors, in the house, in a classroom, at a church - anywhere.  You will need to use a box you can lock using the 4 digit padlock.  Place your prize in the box and players/teams race to discover the combination to the box and be the first to claim the treasure.

ESCAPE ROOM: Lock players in a room using the 4 digit combination padlock and a chain OR you can lock the door and tell players they must text you the correct four digit code in order for the door to be opened.  Hide the game cards through out and room.  Players will not be playing against each other but instead cooperating together to escape the room.  You will need to delete #6 on the Players Sheet (it's editable so it's easy) because that is only for competitive play.

SPEED CONTEST:  For this version you do not hide the game cards at all.  You simply provide the players/teams with the 30 cards - if you have more than one team they will each need a set.  The goal is still to find the four digit code, but this version eliminates the need to find the cards.  Players will not receive the regular Players Sheet or the Locator Key.  You will instead give them the Speed Game Sheet.  You can choose to use the 4 digit padlock to lock a box that has a prize in it, or you can just give bragging rights to the player that discovers the 4 digit code.
