Your mission

Work together to reconstruct the paper bakery run.

Welcome to the community paper bakery. The model bakery has cooling and packing steps that must fit between the order checks. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to reconstruct the paper bakery run. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.

How your team will think

Combine before/after reports and work-and-travel windows.

Keep event names, times and badge labels together. Test the printed before, after and availability rules before accepting a schedule.

Set up in one room

  1. Print the six player sheets and two record sheets for each team. Keep answers and hints with the host.
  2. Lay out Event cards, Supply cards, the remaining clue sheets and the final plan. All task records are printed inside the sheets; no extra prop is needed.
  3. After each clue, pass roles one seat clockwise. With two players, combine Reader with Recorder and Checker with Builder. With five or six, add a second checker and a source finder; everyone explains one decision.

Bring to the table

  • One complete player set and record set per team
  • One pencil per child
  • One adult host with the answer and hint pages
