Warning: Waylayer Weeds

Exploration & Investigation game for a team of 2 or more

Members of the Fay Authority of Yards (FAY), put on your shoes! 

This 1-page game takes you outside, where there are plants, birds, insects… Keep an eye out for neat trees, cool rocks, or wise lizards. They will be your clues to find the humans spirited away by wayward waylayer weeds!

What is a  “waylayer weed”?
A waylayer weed*, called in French folklore “herbe d’égarement”, or “Irrkraut” in German-speaking countries, is a plant said to lead astray those who step on it.
Its victims may be right next to their home, but will never reach it, unless they step on the same plant again.

*The name “waylayer weed” is my own translation.

Available as:

The booklet uses a version of double-gate fold. Is it called half double-gate? Double double-gate? Extra double-gate?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

This type of booklet has also been dubbed Pocketfold by 3 Skulls Pub. To fold it, please refer to the videos on their itch.io page, or to the instructions PDF below. It doesn't require any cutting, easy as pie.
