HOW TO PLAY
1

Before play, hide a set number of scented trail markers around the outdoor search area, keeping a written count of how many were hidden.

2

Explain to players that they are tracing an old trading trail and must sniff out and collect as many hidden markers as they can find.

3

On the signal, players spread out and search, using both sight and smell, placing any markers they find into their basket.

4

Set a time limit, after which everyone returns to a central point to stop searching.

5

Count each player's or team's collected markers, and whoever gathered the most wins; any markers left unfound can be revealed and searched for again as a bonus round.
