Sunday, March 14th, 2010Hi Nikki,
The scavenger hunt is taking place in NYC on May 6; it is a night time activity for a corporate event during that week. Age range is 22-50’s and there are about 25-35 people participating.
The part I am still trying to figure out is if groups should just use their phone cameras to take pictures or something else. Any thoughts?
The theme is really just sight around the city - this is the list of places and the clues that I have so far. I got a few ideas from the planner and most of them are just from research. I am trying to keep it to midtown and lower manhattan and will provide subway cards for each person but I tried to keep some of the sights within walking distance of each other.

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Hi Nikki - this is really great….I was trying to come up with something for my husband’s birthday this weekend, so thank you very much for a terrific idea. I can’t wait for the results! He will be 39, and has never really liked birthdays or asked for any gifts in particular, so we are just going to have a cookout with some family (or so he thinks)….

I really didn’t have lots of time to sit down & make my own treasure hunt & wasting lot of time in planning the game…..but with this game it made my life easier & the party lovelier…..
Thank you for all the help.

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009just wanted to let you know that we had our treasure hunt. it was AWESOME! i did it for my son’s 22nd birthday. we live in las vegas so i planned it to go up the Strip from the MGM Grand and end at, of course, Treasure Island with 14 clues in between. There were 6 people so we just kept it as one group. It took a lot of planning, but it pretty much went off without a hitch. The "treasure" at the end was in a suite at the Treasure Island. I had found a big unfinished treasure chest at a craft store, stained it, and, in the room, filled it with cheap gold and silver bead necklaces i bought at a party store. I then put in the chest 6 glass beer mugs that i had engraved with "Josh’s Treasure Hunt ‘08".
So much fun! Now, my daughter wants to do a scavenger hunt on the Strip. So, I’m now looking for ideas for that!
Thanks for your help!

Thanks to you for such a prompt response. I appreciate you taking care of these issues and I look forward to making many more treasure hunts with you. I do apologize for being so particular but as I make most (all) of my hunts for adults, they love to scrutinize my work. I am notorious for spending months on the perfected treasure hunt…
Your treasure hunt generator/program is really terrific. It makes the head work very simple and organized. With a little one around the house (18 months) it is hard for me to find the time to devote to my treasure hunting hobby as before. Thanks again for this time saving tool.
With much appreciation,

Monday, August 24th, 2009Hi Nikki,
Your planner is great! On Thursday of this week is the annual picnic for my Quilt Guild. I had been in charge of our picnic for 4 out of the last 6 years and this year, nothing was said about it so I really didn’t think about it. When the Guild asked me what I was going to do for the picnic this year, I was kinda on the spot and didn’t want to say that I wasn’t doing anything, so on a whim I said "we are going to have a pirate theme this year with a treasure hunt", not having one clue how to pull this off. That was in early June.
I started searching for anything that could help me with this. We have a range of ages from mid 20’s to late 60’s and wanted something to accomodate all. I came up with the idea to make up invitations using scrapbooking paper with a map printed on it and rolled it up and put it in an empty glass bottle with a cork. (they went over well!). On the invitation, I put that costumes were optional, and I have a prize for the best dressed. A few have told me they will be in costume. I found wooden treasure chests that I stained and I’m using little ones for the favors and a big one is going to have the prize in it. I found a pattern to make sails to fit on a picnic table in one of my children’s party books, so I made up one of those to put on the food table. So I had somethings started, but had no clue on how to do an actual treasure hunt.
I searched the book stores in my area, and found nothing. I even asked the clerks if they had any idea if there was a book out there that could help me with this. Aparently there are several on scavenger hunts, but nothing for a treasure hunt. I was getting pretty desperate, so I googled it. Your site came up on the third attempt and when I found it, I thought that I hit the jackpot!. I was not wrong. I have read the entire book and have started to make my plans. I will let you know how things go after Thursday.
Sincerely,

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009My Adult Easter Egg Treasure Hunt was a HUGE success, thanks in large part to the great clues you wrote! We were a small group of 8 this year with no children, only 1 baby, so I decided to hold a special event for the adults.
What fun! I started with 2 sets of 16 eggs - each one numbered 1-16. One set was hidden; the other was used to hide your clues and placed in a basket. Each person chose an egg and had to find the egg with the matching number using the clue inside. They could then take another egg and try again.
After all 16 eggs were found came the big surprise! Each numbered egg corresponded with a prize. I had some fun gifts and everyone had a ball. I will definitely do it again next year. It’s all my family’s been talking about.
Thanks again for a fun idea.

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Hi Nikki,
We had a very fun party on Saturday night and we were so happy to use our Treasure Hunt with the Pirate Theme. It was a lot of fun! We had about 40 people and the costumes were great and the entertainment was a lot of fun.
Thanks,

Monday, June 22nd, 2009Nikki, just wanted to let you know that my treasure hunt was GREAT!!! I had four groups of two with six stations using the Winter theme. I was not expecting it to go by so quickly. I have never seen women wanting to get to the prize so fast! It truly was hilarious! I adapted some changes to the theme pack but it worked out great. Thanks for all your hard work!

I just wanted to give you an update on my Scavenger Hunt. It was a great sucess. Thanks for all of your help. We had one team come dressed as the scoobie doo gang and they even painted the van to look like the mystery machine. I have attached a few photos for you to see.
Everyone said that I had to do it again next year. Thanks again it was a blast

Yes indeed , we have just completed the treasure hunt on Saturday. I have modify the game to suit the venue and the crowd as we had 15 teams participating in the hunt. Contestants had a fun time . I will be fine tuning the game mechanics to cater for a team building crowd for January

Will update you later

Thursday, June 11th, 2009Hi Nikki
- Yes, I used your treasure hunt ideas for my friend’s retirement pirate party. We live on the Chesapeake Bay and had the party at a beach club on the water. It was absolutely the best fun ever and the highlight of the party. People haven’t stopped talking about it for weeks now. I designed the challenges to be like the ones on "Survivor," one of our favorite TV shows.
There was a "Walk the Plank" challenge, (a board on sawhorses over a kid’s swimming pool); a "Shooting Gallery" challenge, (shooting cans with a slingshot); a "Toss the Anchor" challenge, ( who can throw it the farthest); a "Peg Leg Pickup" challenge, (2 people blindfolded with legs tied together have to be directed by the 3rd team member to pick up scattered items), a "Pirate Word Scramble" challenge, (unscramble pirate terminology); and a "Pirate Memory" challenge, (30 seconds to study 25 items, then remember as many as you can). I made the clues for the map location rather cryptic–some of the players were teachers and scientists.
They all ended up in a little secluded patch of pine trees on the beach where the treasure was buried (in an actual chest). Three teams actually reached the right spot around the same time –I wish we had thought to have a video camera to document it all! The treasure chest was filled with fake gold coins, a gold plate, silver candlesticks and tons of mardi gras necklaces.
I spent A LOT of time (all enjoyable) designing the hunt based on your ideas and it couldn’t have been more successful and memorable. People have already asked me to do another one for next year–sounds like our pirate party will become an annual event! Again, thanks for your great ideas.
