Anyone can play the game.
To go looking for books, just keep an eye on our facebook group to see when books are hidden near you.
If you happen to find a book, its yours to keep – or re-hide after you have finished with it.
The people who hide books love to know when their books have been found, so if you are happy to do so, it would be great if you could post a photo showing your happy finders.
If you’d like to hide books, here are some tips.
- hide second hand kids books – recycling is good!
- put each book into a clear plastic zip lock bag. You can usually buy them cheaply in boxes from supermarkets
- include a note in each bag about the game
- here is a link to the note that you can download and get printed
- when it comes to actually hiding books, put them in public places such as one of the parks listed on this website
- try not to hide more than 5 in the same place at the same time
- after you have hidden books, take a photo and publish it with the name of the park on our facebook group so that people know where to look for them
