The job is always easier when great wizard minds join forces.

What You Need

• Clear container

• Multicolored jelly beans

Instructions

1. Have party members solve a series of cleverly cryptic clues to find a stash of magic beans (a fanciful container filled with multiflavored jelly beans the kids can divvy up and take home).

2. To set up the hunt, first choose four to six successive hiding spots around your house or yard (the last one being where you hide the treasure). Then write a clue that leads to each one.

3. Some suggestions for cryptic clues: The first clue, which might direct the kids to look under a pot of marigolds, could be printed backward so that they will have to hold it up to a mirror to read it. The second clue, hidden under the flowerpot, might lead them to the mailbox. This time you could write the clue with a white crayon on white paper and leave it with a colored marker and instructions to scribble all over the paper to reveal the message. For the remaining clues, consider posing a riddle, coming up with a numeric code and a key to translate each number into a letter, or even creating a word search puzzle
