Teenager trusts parents to pull of the scavenger hunt!

Dear Nikki:

Your ebook is a treasure in its own. We are going to have the scavenger hunt-birthday party on June 15, it's for a 16-year old girl whom I had to convince that the clues were not going to be 'dumb' - I read a couple from various age groups and she smiled!!!!! That's a heck of an accomplishment, so now she trusts her parents that we actually could pull this off. (she of course does not remember all the previous successful parties that we threw for her and her sisters while they were growing up, we don't get credit for those).

We live in Massachusetts, a little town (18,000 residents) west of Boston called Westborough. It used to be a sleepy little town, we had 12 dairy farms when we moved here in 1980, and now it's a affluent suburb.

Because the party will be held on the last day of school, there's a lot of activities going on in town so we just hope that this hunt will be one of the most attended one. I had not thought about a theme, beyond 'last day of school'.... With a 16-year old, and a girl on top, who quite be quite finicky, we try to accommodate her wishes while being responsible. For instance, she wanted the scavenger hunt at night.... well, that did not work for us, we were not going to be responsible for a group of teenager roaming about town at dark. So we had to compromise and I think we came up with a good plan. Her father's still on the fence, because we'll have to have adult drivers lined, but it's a small inconvenience to pay for the security of the kids and the pleasure that they'll all derive from the party.

I read through the book and then printed out the pages that I needed - I'll pull from various age groups because some of the clues are a riot - 4 ice cubes? and bring them back unmelted? I just have to throw that one in.

So I have high expectations that the kids will be very excited and happy with the event. The next challenge that we have not quite yet overcome is to agree on the food to serve. One challenge at a time..

Thank you for your wonderful material.

Treasure Hunt for my Grandson

I am in Montreal, NC, USA planning a birthday party for my grandson and his friends ages 10-12, though some younger brothers and sisters and parents will probably join in. I am the grandmother writing on the grandfathers e-mail. We live on the side of a mountain with steep slopes, lots of stone steps, a creek, a large goldfish pond and lots of good places to hide things. The party is an annual occasion with most of the children running wild, chasing each other, in what appears to an adult to be an aimless fashion. A few stay inside quietly playing board games. So...

this year the treasure hunt seems like a good idea and maybe all will engaged. I think they are definitely old enough! The party is scheduled for Sunday, June 5. I like the fact that you are interested in feed back and so enthusiastic about what you do! Sincerely,

Gale Hussey, North Carolina USA

I am having a Slumber Party for 8 teenage girls and thought that the game would be useful since I am planning a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt.

Treasure hunt at an adult pool party

OK, we are in Monticello, IN - a small town about 100 miles north of Indianapolis.

The party is 7/30

It is just a pool party - for adults. (We do things for the kids all the time - this time, it is for the adults).

We are all parents of high schoolers so we are between 45 - 55 I would say.

We have read through the book once and started getting ideas down on paper.

I hope we can pull it off.

Youth church activity treasure hunt

I really appreciate the game. We used the game for youth church activity. The group ranging from 12- 18 years old had a fun time together. The puzzle pieces had a riddle on it that led them to the key to the treasure chest. We had a wonderful time.

It's all easy with a treasure hunt planner in front of you.

Hi Nikki

It all went very well. It seemed easy, and when you have the planner in front of you it is straight forward. However without the planner I really don't think I'd have been able to do it. Thank you

The kids LOVED the treasure hunt

I read through the Treasure Hunt Party Game thoroughly and made the necessary copies, bought any needed materials, and the party soon got underway.

I made up a great map using your ideas and buried a treasure in the yard. The kids LOVED the hunt and we made the treasure map quite detailed and fun for them.

Thanks for your help
