I need a cryptic clue..

[Droolinggimp]

should have known that

Why don't you just make Saw VIII and be done with it?

 

[Mynight]

Ha

Pandora is the apple of the jewelry world Never understood why girls love it so.


I cant think of another line so I'm out for now

 

[DJMK4]

There is something about pine, that makes things shine

 

[Droolinggimp]

Yeah nice one Mag. She does like the movies so maybe I could make a Saw type clue hunt..

 

[Mynight]

That would be cool to hide the 3 around the house with various clues attached to each

 

[Droolinggimp]

I thought about that and also thought about having one attached my dogs collar and when he jumps on the bed to wake her up she will see it.

 

[Mynight]

Maybe just omit the various time based challenges to escape from rooms

Do it could be great If you go that route I imagine it would be easier to help with clues.

 

[Droolinggimp]

Why is there is a bag but nothing to see?,
why not see if you can count to three,

Do not worry, do not fear,
this is not all you'll get this year.

Gold covered and wrapped they are,
Just below a shinning star.

This clue will lead to something good,
normally it is made from natural wood.

if no one can suggest anything else I think I might go with this...

What would you suggest then? I am all ears here. I guess doing the hiding thing could work just as well.

 

[Mynight]

Heck with how much those things are worth I'd make her work for it haha. Christmasy theme. Clearly got the tree covered above. Hmmm, Christmas food related a cupboard(with the turkey?) maybe? Family orientated day, maybe hidden amongst some family photos?

 

[Droolinggimp]

Ok for the first of the three charms I will type up a note with this and have it folded up inside her Xmas card. This will point her to the first one and inside the charm box I will have another clue typed up for the second charm and so on so she sees it once she opens the box.

My try

Wrapped in Auric's bane. Hidden in plain sight,
Follow the star as they did on that night,
By the pachyderm's nose, past the Jacobs, you'll find,
A fruit of the most pleasing kind.

Not got any family photos unfortunately.

As for the house, I have an under stairs cupboard, kitchen , bathroom, dining room, front room (where tree and presents are) Utility room and Porch. Maybe use one or two of these rooms for the remaining charms

 

[Mynight]

I like the opening lines of that one ^^ Other than I have no idea what Aurics bane is replaced with "wrapped up tight" theres a winner

 

[Droolinggimp]

I had to google Auric. Its an Ion of Gold. Also whats a thick skinned animal have to do with it..

"The next is hidden amongst what we have each year, the freshly cooked smell of Christmas cheer."

(ok made myself a bit sick with how cheesy that is haha)

 

[Droolinggimp]

Ah yeah i see.. The tree charm is covered now, its the other two I need clues for.

Oh and we are having Rib beef for the dinner.

Tell her to Burn the tree and search the ashes!
