She tells them that if they want to break the spell, they need to bring her some very special items: a cow as white as milk, hair as yellow as corn, a slipper as pure as gold, and a cape as red as blood. In short, the Baker and his wife are assigned to carry out a scavenger hunt!! A scavenger hunt is a fun game in which the players have to acquire, or find, specified items within a time limit. In a scavenger hunt, the players use their imaginations to think of special places in which they can find the items that they are looking for; it can be played with 2 or more people -- you can even play in teams!
