- Name your keys
- Install your Simple Lockboxes
- Create your clues - Consider using the Venery Planner to plan and write your content.

Notes on Lockboxes and Clues
- You need to select 'Configure This Venery' at the Venery gathering point before you start installing lockboxes. Then you can install keys and lockboxes anywhere you like.
- Make sure that Options > Interface> Tests > "show menu items for venery configuration" is checked, or you will not get the option to install the Locboxes! - Minerva
- A venery should be fun to do. Many Egyptians get frustrated with the very hard ones and will tend to quit the venery.
- Make sure your clues are precise and not too hard to decipher.
- Always keep in mind that people will be voting on this so if you want to pass it needs to be finely balanced between easy and hard.
- Some people in previous tales built chests and placed rewards in them for others to collect. However you do it is up to you.
- Some people will also have an answer sheet attached to their wiki page.
- Remember Just Have Fun.
- For more on how to design a Venery see Dreasimy's Guide to Creating a Venery!
