Colored envelopes (multi-pack)
Bulk packs of letter-sized envelopes in multiple colors, typically with peel-and-seal closures. Creates tactile mystery for checkpoint challenges—teams open physical envelopes instead of checking phones, adding ceremony and anticipation to each reveal.
What to look for
- 1At least 5–10 colors in one pack (variety helps color-code difficulty or team assignments)
- 2Peel-and-seal closure (faster and cleaner than lick-and-stick during setup)
- 3Standard A2 or A6 size for cards and folded instructions (too-large envelopes feel empty)
- 4At least 50 envelopes per color if running multi-team events
Skip
- Ultra-thin paper under 80gsm (contents show through, ruining surprises)
- Tiny coin envelopes (awkward for teams wearing gloves or working in groups)
Used for: Revealing checkpoint challenges without phone checking · Color-coding task difficulty or team assignments · Creating ceremony around opening next quest steps · Leaving sealed messages for teams to discover
