Picture Treasure Hunts

When you are looking for party games for adults or children, treasure hunts are one of the most obvious and natural choices. If you are looking for games for preschoolers then a treasure hunt does not have to be too complicated as many of them can't read. By providing pictures of different objects around the house or location of your party and dividing the party goers into teams, they can be motivated to look for the different objects. If you are concerned about fighting over objects which can happen with young children then you can mark the same objects with different colored stickers. I.e. the blue team has to find all the objects marked with blue stickers, from the spoons to the books to the shoes, the green team with the green stickers and so on

Creative Clues for Sophisticated Treasure Hunts

If you are looking for slightly more sophisticated party games which are suitable for older kids and teens, treasure hunts are still a good option. But in this case you can be a little more creative with the clues and the answers. Apart from choosing an interesting theme that is suitable for the party crowd, you can also create riddles to lead to each clue. For example if you need a team to find a football in the garden, you can try "Black and white or multicolored, its sphere is soft but hard". If riddles are not for you then you can always give picture clues, cut out from magazines or print from the internet different pictures that hint at what the teams should be looking for. Again if we take the football, you could take a picture of a foot and a picture of something round or even a ball.

A Bonus after Each Clue

There is no end to the different types of themes that you can use for treasure hunts. The treasure hunt can also be incorporated within other party games such as pass the parcel for younger kids with a task to find something that is hidden. At each station or object of a treasure hunt you can leave small sweets or snacks for the party goers. If you are preparing a treasure hunt for older kids, you can make sure of a much broader horizon that includes cycling to local parks, picking up items from local retailers, taking pictures of monuments and so on.

Team Building Treasure Hunts

Treasure hunts are not just for children and teens though. Lately more and more companies who have limited budgets are using Treasure hunts as a way of team building. Instead of sending their employees on paint balling holidays or expensive days out, a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt is created to make the teams work together. This is known as Edutainment. Not only are you having fun but you are also learning to work with other members in your team to solve challenges and problems from how to cross a stream to getting from one building to another without touching the ground. All of these ideas can be incorporated into treasure hunts with cryptic clues and hints all along the way. In fact these sorts of treasure hunts have been made very popular in recent years with the reality TV programs which give clues and tasks to different teams with a prize at the end.



Whether you are looking for party games for your children, party games for you and your adult friends or party games for your employees to create a more positive working environment, Treasure Hunts without a doubt cover all of these needs. There are so many different options and variations on how to create and carry out a treasure hunt that you can't fail to enjoy yourself and get true fulfillment from the game.
