Pro Tip
Set the boundary and the finish line first. Road Trip License Plate Story Hunt works best when the setup stays smaller than the story you make together.
Safety First
Choose a visible, age-appropriate boundary before starting. Check weather and daylight, stay on public paths or in a supervised yard, keep children within sight, and skip any idea that requires crossing traffic, climbing, or entering private property.
