I used to think baking a cake with more than one layer was a lot of work to put into someone’s birthday. This dad sure went above and beyond a simple layer cake. Instead of keeping his daughter happy with baked goods, Redditor crujones43 came up with a super involved, but also super fun scavenger hunt for her to participate in. You have to see how it turned out and what it turned up.
Dad says: “The first clue for Rachel’s 10th birthday treasure hunt was a 3-part clue where the last word of each clue was spelt out in musical notation. It may as well have been in English for how fast she read it and ran. The 1st one spells bed, the second is face and the 3rd is aced.”

The only thing that’s hotter than that stove is Rachel’s clue-finding streak.

Ooh! A word search.

The letters that weren’t used in the puzzle spelled out the next clue: “Under the stairs in her bed.”

The clue told her to get a drink of water.

Dad says: “I used a chemical etchant to frost the inside of the glass. I purposely made it kind of messy and uneven to camouflage the fact that I also etched some words onto the outside of the glass.”

And look! A brand new birthday coat! One with pockets filled with birthday money, too! Happy birthday, Rachel!
