🎄🧝‍♂️ MONROE CO CHRISTMAS – ELFING SCAVENGER HUNT RULES 🧝‍♀️🎄

Before the fun begins, let’s take a moment to reset the heart of the game ❤️

✨ IMPORTANT TIMING NOTE
🗓️ The Elfing Scavenger Hunt will begin Christmas Eve morning.
Specific timing details will be posted closer to kickoff — so keep an eye on this page!

This scavenger hunt is meant to be JOYFUL, FAMILY-FRIENDLY, and STRESS-FREE, especially for our kids (though yes — we do have a few goodies for the grownups too 😉).

Please help us keep it fun for everyone by following these simple guidelines:

✨ 1. Be Kind
This game is rooted in loving God and loving your neighbor. Encourage one another, cheer each other on, and remember why we’re doing this.

✨ 2. Play Fair
Please only look for gifts after a clue has been posted.
In past years, a few gifts were taken before clues went live by people trying to anticipate the next hide — this takes the fun away from others, especially children. Let’s keep the heart of the game intact ❤️

✨ 3. Drive Safely & Watch for Kids
Slow down. Be alert. Keep safety first at all times.

✨ 4. How the Game Works
📝 Clues will be posted in limerick style
🕵️ Gifts will be hidden, not sitting in plain sight
🔍 Reread clues carefully and look thoughtfully
📸 When you find a gift, post a selfie with it in the comments under the clue so others know it’s been found

✨ 5. Best Practices for Facebook
📱 When visiting the Monroe Co Christmas page, make sure your feed is set to “Most Recent” (not “Most Relevant”)
⏱ Once the game begins, new clues may post every few minutes, so refresh often!

This is about homegrown, clean, joyful holiday fun — laughter, memories, and community. Let’s make this something our kids remember with smiles.

Thank you for helping us keep Elfing FUN for everyone! 🎁🎄🧝‍♂️
