Pirate's Treasure Hunt Game

The reason pirating was once such a popular career choice was because of the loot, so a treasure hunt is a sure pirate party hit.

What You Need
  • Paper
  • Markers
  • Trinkets and candies
Instructions
  1. Before the party, create the treasure map that will lead the hunters to clues. Then write out messages leading to a stash of treasure hidden somewhere in your yard or house. For example: "As any pirate ought to know, this is where tomatoes grow."

  2. At the party, hand the captain (the birthday child) a map, covered with decades of dust (a pinch of flour). Each guest gets to guess the answer to a riddle, and as a pack, the guests can run to wherever the clue leads and find another one.

  3. At hunt's end, be sure to hide a suitable prize, such as a stash of candy coins.

Tips:
For young kids, use Polaroid picture clues instead of written ones.
