Some Easter treasure hunts are just more fun than others! Here's how to make sure yours is one of the best!!
"Dear Nikki, The hunt was a GREAT success! it took the kids over an hour to get through it, and they all had a really good time. Digging up the treasure was so exciting! Thanks for all your input, it was priceless, even if I never did a treasure hunt again your book was worth the money spent! (but OF COURSE we'll be using it again and again, now we'll be professionals before you know it!) I'll keep you posted on our next one... Ciao from Italy"
"we had our picnic with our treasure hunt on Saturday. we had it at a public lake so we had the obstacle of other people. it just made it more interesting.
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. everyone had a great time especially the team who won the treasure box with 500 loonies in it!!!!
Thanks for the great game"

"Dear Nikki, The treasure hunt was a great success. I planned it for my niece's 9th birthday party and had the kids all running everywhere in the house. They loved it. The kids all talked about it in school days after the party. I planned the whole hunt in 3 days and it didn't take long at all with your help. Thank you so much for a memorable birthday for my niece. and it was so much fun planning it too."

"thought you might enjoy a few pictures of our daughter's 16th's birthday celebration. we combined a masquerade ball with your treasure hunt party game which turned out to be a good combination for our group of young people. it turned out a lot of fun and I heard many positive remarks during the evening about the treasure hunt.
Blessings from the Smith House"

It was a huge success!!! Never thought a bunch of 17 year old soccer players could love something so much- we are at our Regional Championships and playing in the final tomorrow so something must have worked! will send a picture when I get home"

What a fantastic help your material has been. I got so motivated by it yesterday that I did most of my decision making and planning in one morning!
Thanks a million for offering to send the spreadsheet in a form that works for me. You're the best!"

"Thank you for this excellent product. we had the party on Saturday and it was fantastic. I live in France so had to translate it and we did a Harry Potter theme. For the code, we sent the kids to a computer where they typed in the code and then a PowerPoint presentation sent them to the kitchen for the treasure. it was really brilliant fun and I know we'll be doing it all again soon! Thanks again,"

"hi Nikki
We had a great Treasure Hunt for my daughter’s 11 year old party. we had five teams and I had two other grown-ups helping me. I did the pea challenge, the balancing on a rope, a general knowledge quiz, the backward clues quiz, a memory game and a beat the buzzer game, some they found more challenging than others. The treasure map I hid inside a balloon and mixed it in with lots of other balloons so they had to pop them all to find the map, I had also hidden the bag of balloons.
The treasure map was then found and the hunt for the chest started - it was located up a tree.
They all had great fun, the weather stayed dry and the bags of gold coins for the treasure box were appreciated. What a great idea, I shall certainly keep it for using again.

"hi Nikki it all went very well. it seemed easy, and when you have the planner in front of you it is straight forward. however without the planner I really don't think I'd have been able to do it. Thank you"

I really want to Thank You for your support during my planning stages of the treasure hunt for The Quickel's 40th Anniversary Party! I am confident this party will be fondly reminisced time and time again, through the years, by the anniversary couple and their guests!! it was a huge success!
The tropical island theme worked really well. The island names were decided upon via 6 fond memories that Mike and Judy carry with them after 40 years of marriage. it really personalized the game! at each island station the teams found their challenge in a bottle (with sand and seashells) to replicate a 'message in a bottle'!
I am sending over a few pictures. Hoping you will enjoy them! let me know if you have any trouble getting them to come up. Thank you again,"

"hi Nikki, Many thanks for the great Treasure Hunt game planner and the supportive communications. I was asked to do a treasure hunt for a friend’s 40th and we went away to a beautiful country house for the weekend. The group included some very competitive men - so it was great to have a really strong, uncheatable structure for the treasure hunt as a basis!
Anyway - they loved it and said it was the best treasure hunt they had ever done. so I’m sure you’ll get some hits as a result. Thanks again and good wishes for your business"

"hi Nikki,
I ran a treasure hunt on the island of Guadeloupe for my mothers sixtieth birthday party, I incorporated locals into the challenges and buried a case of French champagne under water at the end of a dock. it was a big success.
Lots of fun."

"hi Nikki,
Yes, we did have the treasure hunt and it was a lot of fun. it was for my daughter's 9th birthday and she had 12 guests. we had wished to play it outside but the weather did not cooperate so we stayed inside my house and garage area. it worked out fine to be inside.
The kids were so into the tasks. it was really fun for me to think up creative and fun things for them to do at each city. at one city they had to pick a teammate to be wrapped up in a whole roll of toilet paper. we had an obstacle course and I even through in some math problems to figure out.
For the treasure box I was able to find a bulk bag of gold/chocolate coins to mix in with other loot. it was great and I will definitely be using the plan again in the future.
Thanks for your help."

Everything went well. I think the item they had the most fun with was finding something with the letter M. my son's name starts with the letter M. They had about 50 questions about what they could use. of the 25 items on their list, they were unable to get only two items a postage stamp and a 4 leaf clover. What surprised me the most was the number of parents and kids who had no idea what a Scavenger Hunt was.
Thank you again for your help"

We have played twice already. my children love the hunts. we planned one for my sons 12th birthday party this weekend. I would be happy to let you know how the 'BIG' hunt goes and will try to send a picture.
It was easy getting into your site to make up the hunt and I am so happy with the extra quick and easy game for my family.

"everyone had a great time!! I am so glad I purchased your treasure hunt - I had looked at some other websites and books and they didn't compare to 'The Treasure Hunt Party Game.'
Thank you so much for helping me throw an incredible event"

"hi Nikki,
I am not having my scavenger hunt until the middle of June. I got a lot of great ideas from your ebook.

"hi Nikki,
I held my treasure hunt at my son's birthday party at my moms house on a farm. we had adults and children ( youngest age 4) all play. I spaced out my stations a bit far ( the older ones got quite a workout!) but everyone had fun and enjoyed it! I am going to use it again for my son's grade 6 class at the end of the year party and we are going to do it in and around the school grounds.

"hi Nikki,
Our church had our treasure hunt this past weekend. it was a great success and so much fun. This was a family event so all ages were able to participate. we used cities in the Bible (Paul's Journey) as our stations, and challenges that Paul would have faced in these cities, some mental some physical. we have 60 people participate and everyone had so much fun and could not believe how well the treasure hunt worked out and how organized it was. Your planner kits was great I would recommend it to other churches and groups. Thanks for the help.

"hi Nikki, we just had our scavenger hunt party yesterday, ages 11-50years old. it was very fun. my husband combined a number of different ideas. since one of the girls was on crutches and one of the guys had hip problems, one group had a car. Thank you so very much for the ideas and most of all for your customer service."
Suzee Stafford Montana USA
"we did the treasure hunt at our picnic on Sunday and it was a hit. I learned a lot, particularly about being rushed into setting it up. but all in all, everyone had a good time and they were challenged by the clues. One dad was so proud of his 9 year-old son, who figured out the five to eight puzzle while the adults were still working on it. I will definitely be thinking of clues and prizes for the treasure throughout the whole year, just to make it better next time. Thank you."
Sandy Manchester Washington USA
"hi Nikki we finally completed our Treasure Hunt last week! we had so much fun -- thank you for the great kick-start!!! I ordered your Treasure Hunt software package way back in February.
Your software was just what I needed to get started, get me thinking about what I wanted to do -- and it was GREAT fun! everyone, from kids to adults, had a great time! For me, it was like Christmas, having chosen wonderful presents for all -- and watching everyone Ooooh and Aaaah. my participants had a ball! of course, now that everyone had so much fun, next year I have to come up with a game for EVERYONE -- the grownups want to play, too!!!
Ah, the challenge! we had great fun!"

"hi Nikki, the Treasure Hunt was a GREAT success, and everyone had a GREAT time at the annual Block Party! ALL the kids (and I mean all....there must have been at least 60 - 70 kids participating) had a great time, and I think the adults at each of the participating homes on the block did also! we did the Pirate theme and everyone seemed to enjoy all of the pirate flags...balloons, and the Pirate we had 'hanging in the galley' of Pirate Beach (he was a bit scary for the real youngsters...but it definitely added to the effect we were trying to achieve.)
We had a huge Treasure Chest 'buried' in our back yard filled with all sorts of toys, candy bags, faux jewelry, coins etc.... and the winning team all seemed to revel in the excitement.
We can't thank you enough for your help. The program really helped us to plan, and make the event as special as you had described. Thanks for all of the pointers along the way, and we look forward to possibly hosting this event at our next Block Party!
All our best and many thanks again for providing such an innovative and helpful tool to make the party a huge success. Agrrrrr Matey!"

"our treasure hunt was based on the pirates of the Caribbean II dead mans chest characters. it was a swarm of fun for all and a huge hit, participants and watchers alike enjoyed the games and puzzles and the treasure at the end!! Thank you for the kit it was a big hit. A lot of work transforming it to my theme on the computer. but so worth it. we had three teams of 3-4 boys ages 11-14. Thanks again"
Monique Rogers Georgia USA
"we had the scavenger hunt party and the girls loved it! I have never seen 17 18 year olds change clothes from their dresses and high heels into jeans and sweats so quickly! it was amazing how competitive and creative in their searches they were! You provided a lot of great ideas I know we will use again. Thanks."
Jackie Hoehner Nebraska USA
"we had our treasure hunt Sat night. it was great. The students enjoyed it and so did the adults that were working the different stations. I was so relieved to have something already complete and ready to use. it was user friendly. we changed the font and copied it onto brown aged paper and it looked so real. we had middle school age and college age. They all enjoyed it. we had the stations set up among a pirate town and they had to go through the town to complete. we used it to eliminate the teams to two and the two completed a treasure hunt that was extra. Thank you for such a good product."
Pam Bennett Tennessee USA
"The treasure hunt party was great; my 16 year old son said it was an awesome party. all the kids came dressed in costume as well as the adults! The hunt took about 1.5 hours to complete. The clues lead to a compass and spade, the compass lead to a treasure map, and the map then lead to the treasure that was buried. when they dug up the chest it was wrapped in chains and locked, and a clue giving them a hint as to where they could find the key, which was hidden in another chest. Being a pirate party, there were several chests for them to look through, but it was in the cake which was shaped like a chest.
We served jerk chicken and shrimp before the hunt, they did the hunt, then ate cake, opened the chest, then played capture the flag in the dark (they had on glow stick necklaces). everyone had a grand time!! Thanks for your ideas.."
