The Game That Changed Youth Camps Forever

About this Episode

Most youth camp games fail for one simple reason… and almost nobody realizes it.
Leaders spend hours planning activities, but kids lose interest in minutes — and it’s not because they’re distracted or bored.
Today, I’m sitting down with the creator of Camp Clue — a game that’s been used in camps around the world to keep kids fully engaged.
He’s breaking down exactly why it works — and how you can design games that actually hold attention all week long. And how you can get it for yourself!

TRANSCRIPT
Nick Clason (00:01.166)
Well, what's up everyone? I'm here with Anthony and we're both drinking coffee on this Friday morning and we both have backwards black hats. So I almost wore that chapel students t-shirt, but I just don't have it yet. One day. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. That'd have been funny. That'd have been funny. Anthony is the, um, the mad scientist behind camp clue. Um, or something.

Anthony Taylor (00:05.94)
Hey!

Anthony Taylor (00:09.502)
Wow.

Anthony Taylor (00:14.868)
I have some old Parkview t-shirts from your last church. I should have wore Parkview t-shirt. That would have been awesome.

Nick Clason (00:31.104)
And so he's gonna just, so we've been in this little playlist, you're actually the end cap of it, Anthony, where we've been talking about different games that you could implement at a winter retreat or a D-Now or a summer camp that lasts the whole weekend and in some cases exists in the background. And Camp Clue, I remember it from even a couple years ago, seeing you talk about it or...

running across it on the DYM store. So why don't you just give us a quick overview. Where did it come from? What's the concept behind it? And how did it go?

Anthony Taylor (01:02.249)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (01:07.08)
Yeah, yeah, we have, we do a middle school and high school camp, probably like everybody else does, at a place that's not ours. And, and we have kids that don't want to do the rec games, the earth ball, the throw the football, chase the thing. And so we were sitting down talking as a team and said, what, can we create that non-athletic creatives might want to do?

Nick Clason (01:32.621)
Mm.

Anthony Taylor (01:33.62)
And what we started with was we ordered the farting unicorn coloring books. Do remember those? Yeah. And so we ordered every coloring book that was silly. And then we just made a table with colored pencils and stuff. And honestly, we still do that. And so when the camp game is going on out in the field, we have a table close by with a little tent over it. And if a creative and a non-sporty person just wants to do that, they color with their friends and

Nick Clason (01:39.584)
yeah. Yeah.

Nick Clason (01:45.634)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (02:01.47)
do that stuff and we bought the bead bracelets and stuff. And then we realized that it was like 90 % girls in that tent. And we're like, we want something that everybody, every gender, every creative, every, a sport kid that hurt his leg, can't do the thing, to do. So we decided to brainstorm some games. And now every year we do something different. And if we get time and I blow through the Camp Clue stuff,

Nick Clason (02:08.429)
Mmm.

Nick Clason (02:20.058)
yeah.

Anthony Taylor (02:30.952)
I'll tell you some of the other fun stuff. just, we have our winter conference coming up next weekend. These are all my escape room posters. We made escape rooms for kids to just play, which is kind of fun. Yeah, so one of our residents, her name was Makena. We sat down and it was like her first project. I was like, let's create something that's awesome that everybody can play. And so we thought about Clue and then we're like, well, let's call it Camp Clue.

Nick Clason (02:32.331)
Yeah, that'd be great.

Nick Clason (02:40.289)
nice.

Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (03:00.324)
And what it is, in a nutshell, real quickly, is kids get a card, and just like Clue, you're trying to figure out who is in what room with what item, and as you do that, you're eliminating people because they're clearly in that room, and the lead pipe is clearly over there, and so it couldn't be this, that. So as you eliminate people, you will find out who the person is, where they're at, and with what weapon they would do the thing.

Nick Clason (03:05.646)
Mm.

Nick Clason (03:18.264)
Right.

Nick Clason (03:27.564)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, are people getting murdered at your camp or are you like trying to stay away from the whole word?

Anthony Taylor (03:34.866)
Yeah, no, actually that's funny. I can't remember. We played this three or four, yeah. I forget what the answer is, but I do think someone gets hit with a weapon. I don't know if they get murdered. No, no, no, no, no. I do remember this. Someone was worried about murder and they said they've been eliminated. They've been eliminated. So if you're more progressive, you can say murder.

Nick Clason (03:38.926)
It's been a minute right?

Nick Clason (03:49.038)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (03:55.669)
Right?

Yeah, there you go. There you go. Nice. That's funny. yeah. So is this a, that's funny. So is this a like, wow, earth balls going on alternative or is this happening kind of all week long?

Anthony Taylor (04:12.412)
No,

Anthony Taylor (04:16.52)
both. So while earth ball is going on and they're like, I would never want to do that. Then we have a rule of three at camp. can't be alone right where the kid. So if, if teenager one and teenager two are like, I don't want to do that leader one can grab those people and like, Hey, we're going to walk around and go do camp clue. But also when the lake is open midday and you're like, I'm not swimming. You know, they can go play camp clue. So it's all the time.

Nick Clason (04:17.336)
Okay.

Nick Clason (04:21.686)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (04:27.34)
Right, right. Yeah.

Nick Clason (04:45.111)
Okay.

Anthony Taylor (04:46.258)
It's sitting out there and it takes a bit of time on the front end as the youth pastor, because what you're gonna do is you're gonna, these are quadrants, but you're gonna cut these like this and you're gonna go tape these camp clues all over the place. And if you're not watching this as a podcast, I'm just, it's a piece of paper that says camp glow on one end and the other one just says like lead pipe. the reality is, is you take these to the buildings wherever your camp is and you hide them.

Nick Clason (04:51.298)
Right?

Nick Clason (05:06.979)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (05:15.078)
And I liked, like if you're going to take it to the gym, right? Every camp has a gym or most camps or the dining hall. You just say the dining hall, but then you take a nice piece of gaff tape or duct tape that's not going to, and you go hide this and you tape it to the wall somewhere. But I like to, I'd much rather like hide it up under the soffit and it's just barely, do you know mean? So they go to the dining hall and they're like,

Nick Clason (05:15.404)
Okay.

Nick Clason (05:22.54)
Yeah, sure.

Nick Clason (05:34.04)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (05:39.022)
yeah. huh.

Anthony Taylor (05:43.376)
I gotta find the clue at the dining hall and they're like where and they're like There it is, you know

Nick Clason (05:48.664)
So do you give them like a giant list of like locations that they have to like go to find the, or how are they knowing that they gotta go to the dining hall?

Anthony Taylor (05:56.85)
Yeah, yeah, so the campers have this cute little camp clue card and the camp clue card is specific to that kid. Any kid that wants to play has a card and they have to have their own card and the camp clue card is like this and it has all of the suspects, all of the weapons and all of the rooms and then the mystery solved and it says blank use the blank in the blank and then there's a time indicator they have to write.

Nick Clason (06:13.581)
Okay.

Nick Clason (06:22.456)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (06:24.66)
It has to say Sunday at 2.30 PM, they turn this in, which means they solved it. And sometimes we get them at 2.35 and you're like, oh, you were first, you know. But this is the cool thing about the way that we develop the game is they don't get a list. They come up and they say, they say, hey, I need a clue. And you say, have you solved some clues? And they're like, yeah, I solved some clues. And they start linear. There's

Nick Clason (06:28.672)
is when they solved it.

Nick Clason (06:35.82)
Yeah, okay.

Anthony Taylor (06:53.876)
15 clues and then you say, I've solved up to clue five. You're like, really? You want clue six? And then the leader has a leader sheet that is a editable. How do you say that word? Yeah. Editable PDF that no matter what your camp looks like, you would fill in these things. So if your camp doesn't have a gym, you would say who was in the, and you would fill it out and put who was in the dining hall, who was in the boys,

Nick Clason (07:04.684)
Yeah. No, you said it right the second time.

Nick Clason (07:21.825)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (07:23.9)
shower room. That's probably not a good one. But yeah, not a good, yeah. And so they would, you would say, you're on six? Well, what you would say, hey kid, what weapon was in the boathouse? And they're like, the boathouse. And then they run to the boathouse and then they scour the boathouse until they find the boathouse clue. And then they say, what weapon? It was the revolver. And they get rid of it.

Nick Clason (07:25.804)
That's probably not a great place to put the clue, but you get it.

Nick Clason (07:42.498)
Gotcha.

Nick Clason (07:49.58)
Hmm. So do you give that that sheet right there that you just showed the the 15 different locations basically where they would go find the clue to every leader or to just like a singular clue point person?

Anthony Taylor (08:04.262)
It's up to you and how you want to do it. We've done, yeah. I liked that we had, we're a multi-site church, so at our camp we have eight staff people, student pastors. I liked it that kids had to go to find a student pastor. One year, doesn't have to be theirs. We gave it to every leader and Camp Clu gets solved like this.

Nick Clason (08:06.83)
What's the best what you've done it? Yeah, what's the what did you find?

Nick Clason (08:19.331)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (08:23.38)
Any student, doesn't have to be theirs? Okay, great.

Nick Clason (08:32.917)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (08:33.876)
because they go to their leader and then they say, it's in the boathouse. And they're literally, their leader walks with them to the boathouse and they're like, well, what's the next one? What's the next one? And you can solve it really quickly. That didn't work well. So I would say, yeah, if you could make it less is better, but still having a relationship. Because I want kids having a relationship. like, man, who is at the boathouse? Mrs. P. Kier, that's cool. You got it right. You want the next one? Hey, how's it going? How's your day? And it's a relational tool.

Nick Clason (08:43.694)
Yeah, it goes pretty quick, yeah.

Nick Clason (09:02.03)
I like that. Yeah, I like that. No, that's cool.

Anthony Taylor (09:03.774)
But you could have a camp master. It would be cool if you had, you know, we have a couple leaders that have some disabilities that are, not running around. They're not doing all the things. Like what if they were the camp clue person and they were the king leader because they had all the information, like they would feel good.

Nick Clason (09:12.141)
Right.

Nick Clason (09:19.886)
Yeah, yeah, I know it'd be cool. I do like that and I think, be honest, like I remember when this came out, I watched your guys video on DYM. I think I even bought it, which we'll link down below so people can go get it you can get your 30 cents of royalties from it. Yeah, yeah, but I'm realizing now, because my kids were very little back then when I got the game, I'm realizing now I didn't know how to play

Anthony Taylor (09:32.083)
Yeah.

I need my three cents, yeah.

Nick Clason (09:49.934)
regular clue. And so I didn't, I didn't understand the concept mostly because I'm an idiot. But now that you're explaining it to me, now that my kids are older and I've since played the board game clue, I'm like, this makes complete sense. But you, kind of had to have a basic understanding of how the actual game works or not be the dumbest person ever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I like, I do like these types of games are my favorite or or activities. Like, well, maybe this isn't like you call it a game because this

Anthony Taylor (10:06.824)
Yeah, you have to have children or teenagers who have played Clue.

Nick Clason (10:19.754)
It's not earth ball and kids aren't leaving like sweaty or hospitalized, but I, yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. And it's, and it's optional, right? Like it's not required. but you know, sometimes those like day three of free time, that's like several hours long and kids are like, I don't know what to do. I'm tired of the lake and I'm tired of the things that are available. And I'm just kind of bored. Like this stuff like this that exists is like, well, can you

Anthony Taylor (10:20.008)
Yeah. Yeah. We want an ongoing activity, right? Yeah.

Nick Clason (10:48.566)
Have you figured out Camp Clu yet? Like it's a great way to just keep them going, you know? And it's, like you said, a little bit of work on the front end, but like once you've done that, like it sits there and kind of like runs itself in the background, you know?

Anthony Taylor (11:01.268)
Yeah. You know, I look around my desk, see if I have it. The predecessor of this was a giant, giant rubber chicken we spray painted gold. And the idea was there is a rubber chicken at this camp. Go find it. And so on a day and you didn't want any, you didn't have anything to do, you just go look for a rubber chicken. And then if it didn't happen day one,

Nick Clason (11:09.144)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (11:14.242)
Okay.

Nick Clason (11:20.226)
Somewhere. Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (11:30.504)
you would say, just so you know, rubber chicken is higher than your eyesight on day two. And you're like, yeah, and that was the camp clue. so, if you don't wanna buy this, I don't know, it's three bucks, five bucks, I don't know what it is. Yeah, but if you can't afford, yeah, that's right, I think it is, yeah. But if not, just grab something and say, hey, we're hiding this, and.

Nick Clason (11:35.229)
Okay, give little clues.

Nice.

Nick Clason (11:44.534)
Yeah, it's very affordable. And if you remember, it's like basically free. Like just just go get it, people.

Nick Clason (11:56.856)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (11:57.746)
And when you find it, that's the other cool thing is when you find it, now you and your leader, you get to go re-hide it. And we'll give you a cheesy bread at the canteen.

Nick Clason (12:04.544)
okay, nice.

Nick Clason (12:09.782)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nice. what are some of the other, you said you got some other stuff, like what are some other stuff you guys have come up with?

Anthony Taylor (12:18.071)
yeah.

Yeah, we're in Chicago land area and just north of us in Wisconsin is a camp called Lake Geneva Youth Camp Lake Geneva Youth Camp. And honestly, if if anybody listening, this was like all of those ideas are terrible. Just call them. They're they're really creative. They do this really well. I went up and sat with them and just said, like, tell me all the things that you do. So.

Nick Clason (12:45.09)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (12:46.356)
So we've gone from this, which is kind of in depth, it takes a little bit of time and that stuff, to these guys, the Baby Jesus things, So I don't know, we bought a thousand of these. And when we went to camp and we hid them, and they're hidden everywhere. They're like ridiculous places and fun places and right above door frames where everybody sees them.

Nick Clason (12:58.011)
yeah, yeah.

Nick Clason (13:13.582)
Sure.

Anthony Taylor (13:15.214)
and you collect them and you can turn in your Jesus's for tickets. so this is crazy because, know, the kid, his name was Dom. Dom had 55 baby Jesus's in his pockets, know, cargo pants full and he got 55 tickets, but we didn't tell them what the tickets are for. And at the end of the weekend, it was, we did an extreme game show and we gave away

Nick Clason (13:20.226)
Okay.

Nick Clason (13:31.342)
That's hilarious, yeah.

Nick Clason (13:42.39)
Okay.

Anthony Taylor (13:43.924)
Nintendo Switch and TV and Mittens and a Lululemon bag. You know, we had, I don't know, we had a hundred prizes. Twenty were awesome. Well, you could put your ticket in to potentially get the thing. Dom had. Yeah. And everyone got three tickets, but Dom had 55 plus three tickets. And Dom's like, I got a Lululemon bag and Mountain Dew and a TV and, know, and so.

Nick Clason (13:50.028)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (13:57.336)
like a raffle kind of thing.

Yeah.

Okay.

Nick Clason (14:09.582)
Yeah, that's awesome.

Anthony Taylor (14:12.116)
So that hiding baby Jesuses. A lot of times with our theme of whatever our retreat is or our camp is, we try to tie something to it. last year was move and it was all like car kind of stuff. And like, you are the driver of your faith. So I went on eBay and for $150, I ordered, I think it was like 300 keys, driver ignition keys. I hid them everywhere.

Nick Clason (14:26.912)
Mmm. Yeah.

Nick Clason (14:38.456)
Yeah.

Okay.

Anthony Taylor (14:41.934)
And it was kind of the same concept. Like you get a driver ignition key, except that one, you got to keep the key, which was kind of fun. And so you had a, it was fun. There was like a Maserati key with a key fob. You're like, you, you ever find that Maserati it's yours,

Nick Clason (14:48.832)
yeah.

Nick Clason (14:54.038)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's cool. How do you, okay, let me ask you like a logistical question. How do you hide a thousand baby Jesuses while camp, like do you send someone up early or like what's your actual flow so that while you're hiding them, kids aren't seeing you hide them?

Anthony Taylor (15:14.706)
Yeah, yep, beforehand our team disperse us. Sometimes we'll bring student leaders in and be like, listen, if you choose to help us, you don't get to play the game. Yeah, and they're like, cool, what? That's awesome. They're like, I'm 18 anyways. I don't really wanna play the baby. Yeah, I don't care, it's not that cool. But can I have one baby Jesus? I'm like, yeah, you can. So yeah, we hide them. But the funny thing is, is with the keys,

Nick Clason (15:20.567)
Okay.

Nick Clason (15:24.492)
Yeah, you're eliminated from, yeah.

Nick Clason (15:29.356)
Yeah, yeah. I don't care. Yeah.

That's funny.

Anthony Taylor (15:43.796)
If you found the key and turned in five keys, I would give you a button. So it was a trade rate, five keys to a button, 10 keys to a, there was something a little bigger, I forget. And so you would get this thing, we would get the keys back. This was for a winter conference. Everyone would go home at night and then I'd stay a little late and I'd rehide those same keys. And so it didn't cost me anything. I didn't have to like,

Nick Clason (15:54.829)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (16:09.362)
Nice, Right. That's funny.

Anthony Taylor (16:12.34)
keep buying more keys, I just re-hit the same keys, yeah. And one person put, taped a key inside of our vending machine so you could see it, but you couldn't get it, and the can would come down and hit the key on the window, and so kids were buying pops to see if they could knock the key, and I was like, that was, I don't know who did it, it was one of our staff did it. That was funny, we sold a ton of Dr. Pepper. It's right there.

Nick Clason (16:20.343)
Nick Clason (16:32.333)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (16:35.808)
Yeah, that's genius. Yeah, because it's right in line with the key. So yeah, dude, no, I love it. And it's super smart and also like really just very simple. So and are there any like any other like best practices or like things that you've learned over the years with these kind of like in the background games that that are potential pitfalls for youth pastors? Or is it just like don't it's simple. Just go do it.

Anthony Taylor (17:06.788)
one, one year, it was Jesus or the keys. I forget. It was either baby Jesus or the keys. It became too central of a thing. And people were like, it was Jesus. I can't find any more Jesuses because they were hoarding them and like Dom had 50, you know? And, yeah. And, that was disappointing.

Nick Clason (17:24.776)
Mm. Mm. Yeah, Dom.

Nick Clason (17:34.541)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (17:35.348)
So what I did was I overnight Amazoned another 500 Jesus's. They showed up, I think at like six in the morning. It was like that prime thing, six in the morning. And then I just went and hid them all. And I realized that this thing was driving my life. And I didn't want the baby Jesus thing driving my life. So to think about like, is it scalable? Can enough people have fun, but not too many? Are you gonna run out of stuff?

Nick Clason (17:45.122)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (17:51.863)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (18:04.364)
Yeah, that's good.

Anthony Taylor (18:05.304)
and can you recycle it? So if Camp Clue is done in day one of a five day camp, go rip all those things down, switch everything up, play Camp Clue version two. And so just think in the background of that.

Nick Clason (18:11.619)
Right.

Nick Clason (18:19.427)
Yeah.

No, that's good. Cause I think like you, you don't ever want the main thing of camp to stop being the main thing of camp, right? Like you want it to be a hundred, but not, but not the little Jesus is the real Jesus. Yeah. But like when, cause sometimes those things and that's all like, have, I have a really young staff and they have amazing ideas, but sometimes they don't think through all of those little like nuances of like, if we do this thing, some kids going to cheat.

Anthony Taylor (18:29.65)
which is Jesus in the sessions and the relationship.

No, that's good, yeah.

Nick Clason (18:52.31)
what's our counter attack to that cheating kid or how do we make sure that we have a level playing field and we're not giving favor to just people who really good at this or whatever that might be. And that word right there is a pro youth worker move for sure. Because you can't let that stuff take you down, but it can because kids can get so ingrained with it.

Anthony Taylor (19:15.442)
Yeah, well, and honestly, these side games for the kid who's not athletic and wants to feel awesome can take over their lives on accident and they miss all of camp, you know? And so the key really is making sure leaders have a pulse on who their kids are, what they're doing. And if Dom doesn't show up to anything because he's looking for baby Jesuses, his leader needs to navigate him differently.

Nick Clason (19:24.309)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Nick Clason (19:37.974)
Yeah, he missed all the worship sessions, but he got 55 baby. Yeah, exactly. So no, that's a really good word. Sweet.

Anthony Taylor (19:44.808)
Yeah, yeah. One day, got two more thoughts. One day we got a giant toolbox, a toolbox, and put chains all over it, and then we put locks on them, and it was a giant escape room to get in. And all throughout the building there were clues, and you had to find the clues, and those clues got you to unlock three different locks, three number locks.

Nick Clason (19:50.946)
Go for it.

Nick Clason (20:00.054)
Mmm.

Okay.

Nick Clason (20:13.367)
Yeah, yeah.

Anthony Taylor (20:14.688)
And that was really fun because there was a thing you could do, but you couldn't unlock until you had all three. And so you're like, I got one. And then, know, by day three or four, you could get in the lock. That was really fun. And then when you opened it up, the scalable thing was we would we would put stanchions around it and the crowd had to get behind and someone would be like, escape. And that meant that they were going to open the thing and it would open up so that the crowd couldn't see into it.

Nick Clason (20:44.599)
Okay, yeah.

Anthony Taylor (20:45.164)
And I would lean in and I like, look down in there and I need you to come out with like, shut up. my goodness. Like what? And then we're going to close it, lock it back up for the next person. And I would just change the prize out. was just a piece of paper. And the piece of paper said, I'll order Starbucks for you and your whole, your friend group. then you close it and the next one's Dunkin Donuts for you and your friend group. The next one's a Taco Bell Party Pack for you. And so that was scalable because a different prize.

Nick Clason (21:04.323)
Yeah.

Nick Clason (21:11.917)
Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (21:14.27)
but no one saw, so there was still the allure of.

Nick Clason (21:17.218)
Yeah, you're not giving it away. Yeah, no, that's good. That's good. I like that. That's a fun one.

Anthony Taylor (21:20.552)
Yeah. Yeah. And then the, the, yeah, I think that was pretty cool. The other one we just did, it's going to happen next weekend. our, our winter conference next weekend is, do you know what Marine or, ammo, ammo shell casing things are? They have a little latch. They're supposed to put ammo in it. Like for guns, usually they're green ammo boxes. They sell them on Amazon.

Nick Clason (21:42.51)
maybe. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah.

Anthony Taylor (21:48.036)
orange for marine so that they're watertight and they have a little latch clasp and we put a different locks on them and there are nine escape boxes and the box in some way directs you to something in the place that helps you get the code and then when they open that up inside is a playing card and I just took a deck of 52 grab playing cards and threw a playing card in there and dumb-dumbs because you wanna you need a dumb-dumb in

Nick Clason (21:50.814)
gotcha.

Nick Clason (21:58.797)
Okay.

Nick Clason (22:14.69)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Anthony Taylor (22:16.596)
They get the card out, they go turn it in and that card gets them tickets. So an ace gets them 11, a king gets them 10, a three gets them three. And then all we do is randomly pick another card, throw it in, lock it back up. And so there's going to be eight escape rooms kind of out and about. What's that thing? I'm excited about that.

Nick Clason (22:22.453)
Okay.

Nick Clason (22:31.852)
Yeah, that's cool. How do they, how do they like solve it or, get into it?

Anthony Taylor (22:38.708)
Yeah, each one's different. like one says, one says, there's a fire sweeping in from the north heading south. Don't be alarmed. And that's it. And then if you go at the north side of our building and find a fire alarm, it has a dot on it. It says six. And then the, from north to south, you find all the fire alarms and it's six, seven, six, seven.

Nick Clason (22:52.654)
Okay.

Nick Clason (23:02.414)
Right.

Nick Clason (23:07.406)
Nice. I know. next weekend, no, you're safe. It'll be in the past. It'll be in the past. Yeah. That's cool. I like it. That's cool. That's a lot of work, but no, it's not a lot of work, but it's just really creative. It's really creative. And you're kind of the master. You should have a podcast or something about it at some time. There's lost episodes. It still exists, right? We can go.

Anthony Taylor (23:08.424)
Yeah, if this is released before then and teenagers are watching, they're gonna get it. Perfect, perfect, So, know, dorky stuff like that.

Anthony Taylor (23:25.48)
Yeah. Yeah.

Anthony Taylor (23:30.58)

Dude, that was like an absolute gold mine. We came in talking Camp Clue and came out with like six other ideas. So you are the man. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right. Well, without anything else, we'll talk next time. See you guys.
