“Welcome to the treasure hunt! These maps will lead us to a hidden treasure chest,” says Kate with a grin. She hands maps to Max and Charlie. The first clue on the map helps them find Kiwi sitting on a chair. “Kiwi is pointing over there!” says Max. He finds the second clue: a spotty, dotty pillow.
