8 x cardboard collapsible letter boxes
12 x sets of 32 place names, cardboard slips *
1 x rules sheet

An indoors or outdoors treasure hunt.

8 posting boxes, each with 4 locations on the front are placed around. Players are given a personal number and receive a letter to post from the Master of ceremonies with their number pencilled on the back. Once posted, race back and get another, until all 384 letters have been posted.

To add confusion, town names of similar spelling have been included eg. Maldon and Malden /  Hertford and Hereford.

Score 1 point for each letter posted correctly and lose 3 points if incorrect. Score the most points, to win.

* Axmouth, Burnley, Burham, Burnham, Barmouth, Camborne, Cambridge, Cork, Exmouth, Hanley, Honley, Hereford, Hertford, Ilminster, Ilchester, Kilmarnock, Killmallock, Leith, Louth, Lisburn, Lingfield, Lindfield, Liscard, Lemington, Leamington, Lymington, Malden, Maldon, Plumpton, Plympton, Yarmouth, York.

Printed on the rules sheet and backs of the post boxes;
"There is a widespread belief that party games should be reserved for indoors on winter evenings. This idea is completely exploded by UPL, many of whose games have been specially designed for Gardens, Club Houses and School Grounds etc. during the summer months."
