    Would you put out enough items so all teams can find their assigned items or is it a game of speed as well?

    Hi Nancy, I put out the entire set of items initially, like 10 notebooks, 10 hair clips, 10 chopsticks etc. Yes its also a game of speed, every round the players have to find the assigned items in the shortest time to win points for that round.
