Resource and route adventures
Which journey works with the supplies available?
A route is a plan with consequences. Players connect locations and instructions while checking the resources and route conditions printed in their adventure.
A good choice for your group
Choose this when children like maps, tracing alternatives and working out why a possible-looking journey will or will not work.
The players’ job
Read the route’s start, destination and rules together. Trace one complete option at a time and keep its resource checks beside it, rather than mixing pieces of different routes.
How the reasoning works
Read the route rules
Find the start and finish, allowed links and any stated supply limit. Keep the page legend visible while tracing.
Try a complete journey
Use the badge results where the route asks for them. Record costs or conditions at each stop so you can check the whole plan.
Check arrival
Confirm that the route reaches the required finish and satisfies every condition before reading the final code or destination.
If the result does not fit
A connected line alone does not prove a route works. Recheck direction, required stops and the supply conditions printed on that game’s final sheet.
For the host: Let a child trace the route while another checks the rules. If they need help, ask where their first uncertain step occurs.
Choose a mission
Each adventure has its own evidence, story and final instructions. Open a game to check its full setup and print plan.

Rooftop Shuttle Route
Welcome to the rooftop shuttle station. The shuttle route must visit a charger before it reaches the roof where the boxes are needed. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to plan the rooftop supply route. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.
Read every clue below, including the final instructions. Answers and host hints stay in the host materials.

Path
Trace a legal supply journey from S to F. The map's arrows are one-way roads. Visit every required stop, stay inside the travel budget and use the cheapest complete journey. Report all stop letters.
