When you spot any “Pumpkins/Spiders” as you go along in your search just call out where you see it and they will be marked down. If you have found all of the hides in your search area and have time remaining you can continue on looking for the “Spiders” until the time runs out.

You can choose how you would like to run your searches: you can concentrate on finding the hides and not caring so much about looking for the “Pumpkins/Spiders” or you can look for “Pumpkins/Spiders” and not care about the hides lol it doesn't matter....just have FUN!
Prize: Find a minimum of 15 “Pumpkins/Spiders” to be eligible for the prize draw entry.
