How to do it
- 1The goal is to find an item beginning with A, then B, then C, and so on.
- 2Focus the hunt specifically on the menu first (e.g., A is Applesauce, B is Burger).
- 3If a letter is impossible to find on the menu (like X, Q, Z), broaden the search to items visible in the room (e.g., Z for zipper on a jacket).
- 4The first person to complete the alphabet sequence wins the round.
