subject: How To Make Your Own Treasure Hunting Game [print this page] Halloween is a holiday thats always filled with fun, but it can be even more fun with a treasure hunt. Even if its cold outside, its sometimes a good idea to enjoy a few minutes of fresh air instead of remaining cooped up indoors. While it can be fun to sit around together and exchange horror stories, it should still be warm enough to go out and have fun with a physically and mentally-challenging game.
Make sure prepare well ahead of time. Tell your friends of your plans and invite them over to participate. Divide them into sub-teams of at least 4 members each. Plant clues all around to lead them to the hidden treasure. The first team to find the treasure gets to keep it, of course.
Choose an appropriate location for your treasure hunt. Having a treasure hunt indoors could be a bit boring, so consider having it in your backyard or at a nearby park. The clean, crisp outdoor air will do you all a world of good, and a large space can make the game a lot more challenging. If you are planning to hold a neighborhood treasure hunt, make sure that all your neighbors are informed about the activity, so that those who dont join in the event wont be caught unawares.
Create challenging clues for your Halloween treasure hunt. Surf the Internet for ideas and then put your own particular twist to the game, if you like. Instead of printing your clues on pieces of paper, use fun-shaped colored paper or use other objects that could in themselves serve as clues.
Thinking up riddles and clues can be pretty exhausting and time-consuming. If you dont have much time to prepare, it may be a good idea to purchase or download Halloween treasure hunt software, which can help make organizing a treasure hunt a lot easier and faster. Some sites have hundreds, even thousands, of ready-to-print riddles. You can also edit/customize your puzzles depending on the age bracket of the participants.
Find a good hiding place for the treasure. Make sure that the prize is worth finding. Provide giveaways for all the participants as well. Everyone who participated in the Halloween treasure hunt deserves to get a little something to remember the day by.
