Nikki, just wanted to let you know that my son's birthday party went really well. I had a lot of fun putting the treasure hunt together and the boys enjoyed all the challenges and especially digging up the treasure! All the instructions and the question puzzle were a bit challenging for them even though I modified some of the questions (they were 8 year olds) but they had fun! I used your 'matching items' game to pair up the boys before the treasure hunt started, which worked out well. Thanks for the ideas and putting it all out on 'paper' for me. I will definitely use it for other parties.

We had the scavenger hunt party this past sat. Everything went great. The kids (and adults) loved it our neighborhood was really good about letting the kids have fun and knock on their door trying to gather stuff. We had 25 11-12 yr olds show up it was a lot of fun.
Thanks,

Hello,
I recently ordered both the treasure hunt and pirate package from you. The material I received helped because this Treasure hunt is for 25 of my two sons close friends ages 12-14, which means the hunt is in a 3 mile area around our neighborhood and the clues (15 in all) need to be challenging.
I drew out 4 maps ( with burned edges !) giving the familiar landmarks different names, i.e... a church is renamed The Holy Ground, the firehouse is named The House of Hose and Ax, a big clay mound located near a baseball field is called Blood Mt.... The teams will have different colored bandannas and each team member will be giving a title and responsibility during the hunt.( I want this to be a team building experience) so..
The Captain holds and read the map, The Scholar is read all the clues out loud and hold on to them, the Pathfinder holds and uses the compass for the team, the Musician plays and holds an instrument (a plastic
flute) when called upon, the 1st Mate?s job is to make sure all rules are followed and to keep the team together.. etc...
Coming up with the clues was very time consuming because I wanted them to be challenging and to rhyme. (The first clue for one of the teams is 'Proceed SW as swift as you can, till thou is standing on sacred land. Get close to the bronze statue made up of three, then search for a clue below the knees' ) Also, the clues couldn't be the same because each team?s path is different and I had to make sure that the distance traveled was fair (there are hills), as well as having them come from a different direction towards the 'treasure', and I walked each path myself.
The treasure is a real wooden chest, a size of a bread box, filled with play jewels and candy. It will be hidden near a bank of rocks under some foliage.
I'm excited for The Hunt to begin and I hope everything goes as planned!! If this turns out to be a big hit among the kids, I might start my own business planning treasure hunts!
Thanks,
Lisa, Alabama USA

Thanks for your interest, Nikki. This party will be for our employees at a summer home. It is in a lakeside community near Lake MI. We have not yet decided whether to make it a pirate theme or not. Purchased both. We will be heading up there on Saturday and will be able to scope it out...

Yes, I was able to download it and printed it off yesterday. My party is going to be on Sunday, the 3rd of July. I've already started planning the treasure hunt. I live in San Jose, California and my husband and I are throwing a b-b-q for some people that were very involved with the relandscaping of our yard.
It was a huge undertaking and we wanted to give them all a big thank you. So, it'll pretty much be all adults, with the exception of a few little ones (3 and under). We're changing the station names and officers to things that apply to yard work and landscaping. The treasure will be gift certificates for the winners to a local home improvement store.
Please, please, if you have any ideas for me on this theme, let me know . . .
Thanks,

Dear Nikki, many thanks. The party is over, and the treasure hunt went well. It was a very nice change from my usual treasure hunts. Good product. I actually bought and downloaded three different hunt games, and yours was by far the best. The calculator worked brilliantly! I changed it to match the combination on the lock which I already had, and it worked like a charm. How long did it take you to work out all the connections so every team would wind up with the same combination?
Thanks again

I am planning a picnic for our church group, and it will be over 100 people there. We are having it at a local park and will have access to it only 1 hr before people will start arriving. The park is a large grass area with a shelter in the middle.

We are planning the hunt for May - the last day of school for my 11 yr old daughter there will be 10-15 children for the hunt and they are very excited!, We have a 75 acre farm so the hunt will keep them busy finding the clues and especially the treasure!
My daughter loves pirates, and the whole concept of treasure hunting, can you give me some more ideas on what to put in the treasure box?
I plan on burying the treasure by an old cabin that's been here since before Oklahoma was a state! I call it blackbeard's haunted hideout! Makes things more interesting for the kids!

Dear Nikki hope you had a great Christmas,
The treasure hunt went really well - especially the challenges. Of course the losing team had to do a forfeit, we dressed them in Santa outfits and the rest of us were their reindeer - the forfeit was that Father Christmas had to go to the nearest post box and post his travel receipts back to Lapland and ask the first passer by if they could take a photograph of us all as proof that father Christmas had been to Croydon Surrey England - we did it, but not before mum and dad had run off into a neighbour?s garden to avoid all possible chance meetings with anyone they knew!
And just to get everything into context I am 43 mum is 65 and dad 75 - why haven?t we played this years ago?
I have taken pictures to send to you. Thanks very much.

Hi Nikki,
What at wonderful resource your scavenger hunt e-book is. The hunt is tonight and I have already spent about three hours prepping with at least 3 more to do. It's raining here so we are keeping game inside the house, on the porch and in the screen in porch too.
The boundaries, rules and age appropriate list were extremely helpful. Our group is ages 8-9 girls. There are 9 girls coming all of whom will be randomly divided into three groups of three. Unfortunately one of the babysitters cancelled last night so I'm now wrestling with three teams and two supervisors.....
Got to go, but I will f/u with news and feedback.. You are amazing to have the care and concern to email me.
I dearly appreciate it.
Thanks,

I appreciate your service.
I had a New Year's Eve treasure hunt with about 50 young adults from church. Good times! It was a success! I tweaked the hunt so that it was 'global', so the teams were traveling to different world countries, and the challenges ranged from a basketball free-throw challenge (Lithuania) to a suduko challenge (Japan) to creating an encouraging note for our missionary friend in Africa (Tanzania).
An interesting thing happened at the end...one of the more enterprising guys figured out where the treasure map was hidden without having all the clue pieces (i.e., his team hadn't completed the last task, but he still figured out the clue). Thank goodness for the combination code...it saved me from having to make up rules on the spot. He couldn't take the map without having the combination code. As it turned out, another team won instead!
We had a good time...thank you for sharing your organizational skills with all of us!

Hi Nikki,
We celebrated our son's eleventh birthday with a pirate themed party. Well, you can't have a pirate party without a treasure hunt and we procrastinated a little too long. Your website helped us out tremendously.
We put together a 26 riddle treasure hunt that kept the children engaged and they had a great time searching for the treasure. And your step by step process made it very simple.
Thanks,

Hi Nikki
Thanks for your interest in our scavenger hunt.
We are a small group of trustees for a small Green that was saved from building land. It is now a small haven for wild life in the village of Soulbury in Buckinghamshire England.
We are always looking for fun events on the Green to make people aware that it is there and also to raise some funds for the upkeep of the place.
We love the idea of a scavenger hunt, using nature as our theme. I am reading through all the info you sent and ideas are forming.
I will let you know when we hold the event and how successful it is.
Many thanks

Hi Nikki,
The Birthday Party was a great success! We had ten 13 year old girls have a pool party at a local hotel. They went racing around the mall on their scavenger hunt. They were very creative and surprised even me when neither team had any of the same objects. One team had an office member go on line to print out a picture of the Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz while the other team grabbed the Dorothy flyer from the lobby. For something yellow one team had a pen and they other went to subway and asked for yellow peppers. They were very respectful of the people in the Mall and made sure they showed them they scavenger hunt booklet. The people in the elevator were all saying Scavenger hunt what a great idea.
People were opening their purses to see what they could give them anything from band aids to hair binders. When each team was done they meet in the Lobby where the joined hands and sang happy birthday as loud as they could. Everyone in the Mall complex and the Hotel were laughing!
The kids had a great time! Thanks,

It was a big hit at my son's 7th Birthday party. It was a pirate themed b-day and I used some of the riddles and I made a treasure map that at each station had gold coins to collect and then ended at a real treasure chest that my son had ask for filled with treasures and gifts for him and his friends....he loved it and they all wanted to play again.....thanks for the help!

Yes, indeed, our Treasure Hunt was successful and fun. I used your program more for inspiration and ideas rather than exactly following it. We had about 10 children ages 4 to 14. The event was a neighborhood block party. I broke them into two teams and started them in different spots of the hunt. They only were to pick up the clue for their color team. It seemed hard enough and yet easy enough so as to not frustrate.
It certainly entertained the children and had them running all over the neighborhood. Both teams completed the hunt.

Hello Nikki,
I have read through your scavenger hunt planner and have gotten some good ideas. The party is in Ann Arbor, MI for my daughters 14th birthday this weekend. My husband got a limo to truck 14 girls around. I think I want to go with a photo theme around town. Any thoughts? I'm sure they'll have fun no matter what.

Nikki,
I have been working on the Treasure Hunt all week, and I'm finishing the final touches on the map tonight.
I am going to have 18 children ages 5-10 years. We are having the hunt at our farm around a creek. I will set up the stations tomorrow. I am excited about using the mummy challenge. My son wanted to have all physical challenges so I put all the younger children in a group, all the girls in a group and split the boys into two groups. I think there will be less competition within the groups. Sometimes boys tend to get too competitive. I have chosen five other physical challenges including a multilegged race, a musical water glass, an egg race, a water balloon toss, the mummy challenge, and a water race.
I am going to hide a key for each team, which will open the treasure chest with their goody bags in them.
I have enough adults for each station. I think that will help.
The rest of the party includes a hotdog cookout, a hay ride, a hike in a really cool creek with caves, frogs, and lizards, and the treasure hunt, not to mention the cake and icecream and the presents. I hope it doesn't get dark before we're finished.
I used many good ideas from your ebook. I copied the station names onto yellow cardstock and laminated them. We will attach them to posts which are in place already.
Thanks for the great ideas.
Sincerely,
Shelley Grellner, Oklahoma USA

Hello.
I read your book yesterday. I will being doing the Scavenger Hunt some time in July. I have until then to get it together. I am doing it for an age group of 12-17 both boys and girls. There should be approximately 6 girls and 6 boys. If invite another group it could potentially be more. For two years I had a neighborhood girls ministry. We use to do all kinds of things. That has been over for about 2 years. Recently I had a bible study for 12 year old boys in my home. That's been over for a month or so. Both groups have asked me to have 'something' for them this summer. They miss me, ahhhh. ha ha just kidding - they like being entertained. Anyway, both were bible study type deals in the past. The hunt doesn't have to do with the bible BUT I am sending them a paper with some short scripture fill in the blanks...that will be their ticket to come to the hunt. I'm thinking about having it in our downtown area - we live a small community. We can be at the park and they will have access to the city building, library, post office, tennis courts, river front, businesses, restaurants, etc... They can work for a while - break for lunch - and go again. I think it will be the boys against the girls. I have a lot of ideas running through my head. I'm going to need to go back through your book and write things down this time. I still need to think about what they have to do, why, what the prizes are etc... Lots to do yet.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

I was very amazed on how smooth the game went once it was all set up. I had seven teams with ages varying between 4 and 45 and 4 helpers. The hunt was thoroughly enjoyed by all. I used the games in your game set with a few alterations. Below is a picture of the Egyptian mummy game. This was so funny to watch the teams.

You have a great product. We just might be your first customers to conduct our treasure hunt in the nude. Our events calendar had a kids' treasure hunt scheduled for Saturday afternoon. I used some of your ideas to design the hunt, but I am saving the full version for next season when we will have better attendance in the warm weather months. The kids (ages 5,6, & 9) loved it, and I can't wait to put on the full program next year. Thank you.

Thank you for all of the correspondence! I wanted something different for my daughter's 9th birthday. We will have a big crowd - 24 + adults for the treasure hunt. She is involved in soccer, school, church, neighborhood, etc. so I wanted to include everyone we could. Many thanks for all of your support thus far.
We will be having it at our local community center. So we have access to a large soccer field, playground, basketball and tennis courts. I thought of having the following stations (1) a mummy wrap - wrapping the tallest person in your group; (2) cheerleader stance and hold for 30 seconds, and then I haven't thought much more than that. I want the games to be fun and your suggestions help a lot! There will be a little age different, from 6 - 11 and we drew names for the different groups, so there is a variety in each group. We chose 5 groups - (1) strikers, (2) forwards, (3) mid-fielders, (4) defenders, and (5) goalies. Can you guess what our theme is?
Because of the large crowd we can't make the treasure too extravagant - we're still on a budget.
Many thanks again. Take care,

My party is scheduled for Saturday, December 3rd. The party will be held at our cabin at White Rock outside of Fayetteville, Arkansas. We have a large outside area around the cabin where I plan to conduct the party...weather willing:-) The party is for my son's 9th birthday and there will be 8 8-9 year olds attending. I am tying the Treasure Hunt into the Survivor's theme of the party...I haven't completely figured it all out yet but am working diligently to make it a huge success. I have decided that the party invitations will be hand delivered to each child...the invitation will be on vellum paper stained and burned, rolled up and enclosed with sand in a corked bottle! I think it will be really cute!

The treasure hunt went really well - especially the challenges. Of course the losing team had to do a forfeit, we dressed them in Santa outfits and the rest of us were their reindeer - the forfeit was that Father Christmas had to go to the nearest post box and post his travel receipts back to Lapland and ask the first passer by if they could take a photograph of us all as proof that father Christmas had been to Croydon Surrey England - we did it, but not before mum and dad had run off into a neighbour?s garden to avoid all possible chance meetings with anyone they knew!
And just to get everything into context I am 43 mum is 65 and dad 75 - why haven?t we played this years ago?
I have taken pictures to send to you. Thanks very much.

Hi Nikki
Thanks for your interest in our scavenger hunt.
We are a small group of trustees for a small Green that was saved from building land. It is now a small haven for wild life in the village of Soulbury in Buckinghamshire England.
We are always looking for fun events on the Green to make people aware that it is there and also to raise some funds for the upkeep of the place.
We love the idea of a scavenger hunt, using nature as our theme. I am reading through all the info you sent and ideas are forming.
I will let you know when we hold the event and how successful it is.
Many thanks

Hi Nikki,
What at wonderful resource your scavenger hunt e-book is. The hunt is tonight and I have already spent about three hours prepping with at least 3 more to do. It's raining here so we are keeping game inside the house, on the porch and in the screen in porch too.
The boundaries, rules and age appropriate list were extremely helpful. Our group is ages 8-9 girls. There are 9 girls coming all of whom will be randomly divided into three groups of three. Unfortunately one of the babysitters cancelled last night so I'm now wrestling with three teams and two supervisors.....
Got to go, but I will f/u with news and feedback.. You are amazing to have the care and concern to email me.
I dearly appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hi Nikki,
You have a great product. We just might be your first customers to conduct our treasure hunt in the nude. Our events calendar had a kids' treasure hunt scheduled for Saturday afternoon. I used some of your ideas to design the hunt, but I am saving the full version for next season when we will have better attendance in the warm weather months. The kids (ages 5,6, & 9) loved it, and I can't wait to put on the full program next year. Thank you.
