Instead of just searching for items, you’re asked to do certain activities and then find an item related to those activities. What do I mean? As an example: The first clue asks …
How to Enjoy Being a Beginner
Learning something new is sometimes really hard. We can make it even harder, by being overly critical of ourselves. The thing that we need to always remember is that everyone is a beginner at some point. And really, being a beginner allows us to see more potential in life and the things around us. The …
