With another holiday comes another great scavenger hunt, here at JumpStart!  In celebration of Valentine’s Day, your child is invited to participate in a candy heart scavenger hunt. Cupid has hidden 35 candy hearts throughout JumpStart.com for Jumpeez to find.  Ten are stashed in DownTown, ten are stashed on MainStreet, and another fifteen are stashed in the Speed Drome.  All the candy hearts will have a sweet message on them.

The candies are small and are well-hidden, so your smaller explorer might need a few hints to find them all. Luckily, we can help! This post will reveal the locations of the first 10 hunt items, all tucked away in the DownTown area of JumpStart.com. If your kids need some help with the hunt, read on!

Meet your guide, Shoshana. You're in good hands!

Now that you’re ready to discover the DownTown candy heart locations, let us introduce your guide from our JumpStart Academy of Expedition, Shoshana.

As one of JumpStart’s most talented explorers, she’s offered to share the notes and photos she took while exploring JumpStart’s DownTown on a quest for those tricky candy hearts! All of Shoshana’s directions begin in front of the MainStreet entrance, facing towards the Hearts Lane swan ride. Good luck, explorers!

1. Off-White “For You” Candy Heart – Near the wall to the right of the MainStreet entrance (when facing away from it).
2. Purple “Friend” Candy Heart – Behind the Brain Training Arcade.  Run down the plaza to the right, passing the potted tree and billboard.
3. Pink Smiley Face Candy Heart – Beside House Hut Store.  Run past Hearts Lane to the right; the candy is at the back-right corner of the store.
4. Pink “Hugs” Candy Heart – Under bridge that is below the 2 large slides.  Run past Petz and to the right, once beyond the brick wall.  Go beyond the slide foundations and giant teddy bear to find the candy to the left of the blue stairs, on the ground, below the wooden bridge.
5. Blue “Smile” Candy Heart – In water in front of small waterfall.  Run past Petz and to the left once beyond the brick wall.  Run up the slight slope and jump up onto with the elevated plateau to the right that is flush with the slope.  Head to the left and find the candy sitting in a pool at the base of a small waterfall.
6. Blue “Smile” Candy Heart – At the end of the red and yellow slide near jump pad.  Run past Petz and to the left, once beyond the brick wall.  Run towards the small bay in the distance.  Once there, dive into the ocean and go for a short swim to the right, to the tiny peninsula with the jump pad near the slide exit.
7. Purple “Friend” Candy Heart – In long tunnel.  Head to the left, towards the beach, past the back of Threadz.  Head into the black cave ahead, diving into the mountainside.  Follow its winding path, past the bright, watchful eyes in the dark, to find the candy.
8. Pink Smiley Face Candy Heart – On small island near jump pad.  Head to the left, to the beach.  Swim or hop from island to island to end up on the largest of the small islands with the jump pad and candy heart.
9. Purple “Friend” Candy Heart – In small tunnel/cave that is behind JS Threadz.  Head to the left, towards the beach, and make a left at the sandstone pillar.  Make a sharp left once the cliffside wall to the left ends, and head up the tunnel cave ramp to find the candy at its edge.
10. Off-White “For You” Candy Heart – In corner by wall to the left of the MainStreet entrance (when facing away from it).
