My wife was away for a few days and I was trying to keep the kids amused. They woke up in the morning and wanted to play spys so they dressed up and were running around the house `being sneaky`. I thought up an exciting night game that I thought they would like I called spy hunt and the best part is it only costs $2.99. The whole game took about half an hour to set up, about 1 hour to do it with the kids and I used 48 tacks (i took two out previously for another project)

Signing UpStep 1Fire tacks
I recently bought some `fire tacks` for setting up night time geo-caches. Hunters apparently use these to mark trails they will be traveling on at night. If you shine a flashlight on them they are highly reflective and they can be seen from a long way away. So I picked up a box of 50 from a hunting supply store for $2.99. They come in white, orange and brown.
The brown ones are very camouflaged and are hard to see in the daylight so are less likely to go missing, but do not shine very far at night.
The white ones are super bright but people get curious when they see a white circle so they can disappear, but man can you see them at night.
I chose the orange as a happy medium.

I can't find any suppliers of FireTacks or "reflective trail tacks" in the UK either on eBay or elsewhere. Now there's an opportunity for someone . . .
