High Maintenance Mom

Want to try a new game your kids will love? High Maintenance Mom and WheeGO want to help you entertain your kids this winter with a fun adventure game that reinforces environmental awareness and kindness! Two lucky High Maintenance Mom readers will be chosen randomly from the logs to win a copy of WheeGO...

Do you remember how much fun it was to hunt for treasure as a kid? Maybe you had cool parents who set up treasure hunts for you. Now you can be that cool parent with WheeGO, a new treasure hunt adventure game. It sounds easy and it is. The game comes in a treasure box. You open the box, hide the 10 cards following the directions for one of the two games, and then your kids start their own treasure hunt. If your kids can read, you don't have to do much more than sit back and enjoy the excitement. If they can't, you get to read them the clues and then let them look for the next one.

I didn't realize my kids loved treasure hunts so much. I've created one or two small ones in the past but nothing with ten clues. We played the first round of the game one day and I was surprised by how excited the kids were. They kept talking about the clues, trying to figure out where the next one was. I wanted to save the next round for another time and it took a long time to convince the kids we'd play again soon but not now (or in five minutes). My kids later convinced the babysitter to play without me. I had hid the treasure box in the back of a cabinet and they wanted to play so badly they managed to find it (my kids can't find their shoes if they are two inches away from where we leave them).

The game is $9.99 and can be ordered online. There are also downloadable coloring pages too. My kids love them.
