How to Do the Quest
- 1
Set up the boundary, timer, and roles for Alphabet Soup Cupboard Hunt before beginning, so everyone knows what counts and what areas or items are off-limits.
- 2
Read the mission aloud and make a short first-round plan focused on safe pantry labels and familiar package letters; choose one person to notice details and another to record them.
- 3
Work through the activity at an unhurried pace, pausing when a clue, story, or creative choice deserves a closer look rather than racing ahead.
- 4
Regroup for a quick reveal: compare finds, choose a favorite moment, and add one new clue or question if the group wants an extra round.

Pro Tip
