Tuesday, March 9th, 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.

Friday, September 18th, 2009Hi Nikki,

Thank you so much for your help..

Friday, July 10th, 2009Thanks so much Nikki. Having your email and your quick responses have given me a lot of confidence in the product. I have downloaded but have not yet read through the book. The party isn’t scheduled until May 25 - but it will be sponsored by our parent’s guild (a group of parents that do fundraising for a grammer school) and since we need to have our school year calendar of events completed for printing prior to school starting, it was really vital that I was able to determine if a treasure hunt would work. The venue will be our annual family picnic in a large community park and this will be the 1st year we will introduce a planned, structured game at this event - I am hopeful that it will become part of the school tradition. I will keep you posted!
Thanks again for all your help.
Take care,

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,

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
2007.
Will update you later

Thursday, April 16th, 2009It went great. It was a summer end employee treasure hunt party and at the end the treasure was a chest full of $1 gold coins. Each employee got part of the treasure. I had to modify the clues to make it work at my resort but it went great. The employees loved it. The only thing I would do different would be to number the clues. A couple of groups found a clue that was not the correct one. If I numbered them, they would know that it wasn’t the right clue. However, the team that actually won didn’t skip any clues so that part was kinda funny.

Monday, March 2nd, 2009Nikki hi,
The Scavenger Hunt at Wal-Mart was very fun. I had my co-workers running from one end of the store to the other. The best thing.. I had them pushing each other in shopping carts outside in the Wal-Mart parking lot and video taping each other. We even had them take pictures with Wal-Mart employees.
They said the Scavenger Hunt was really fun and really appreciated the work that I put into this event.
Thanks,

Saturday, February 28th, 2009I am looking for a unique idea for a company party. There are about 15 employees and their families so a total of about 30 people. I would like to do this in a park and have all ages participate—mix it up a little so people get to know each other.

Sunday, January 4th, 2009Hi Nikki,
I am the one handling our treasure hunt. It’s a company picnic
We are in Guam (US Territory, an island in the Pacific) - it’s hot and sometimes rainy. Our setting for the party is at a beach/picnic area outdoors. Plenty of grassy areas, plenty of water, but very little sand - mostly big rocks instead.
August 5th
this is the summer company picnic
about 250 guests - mostly adults but also some children
Our theme is a treasure hunt - I’m having some trouble with this one, as I would like a slogan or title for our event. I like the pirate idea too, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to NAME our event after ‘pirates’ or ‘raiders’ or ‘plunderers’ etc. as it is the company’s image at stake
We have already begun planning the games and playing areas for our treasure hunt. since we have so many people, I think we may plan a simulated trial-run with a few of us prior to the event, just to make sure we’ve planned it well. I’ll let you know if we have any questions.
Thanks!

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Hi Nikki,
I have actually purchased the Treasure Hunt game for two parties. The first one involves my Sunday School class (I am one of the leaders, not in the age group of 18 to 30!!!). The class is College Aged Young Single Adults from age 18 to 30. We are planning a retreat weekend and thought this game would be perfect for them. We are always looking for games for that age group.
The second group is for a state convention for pulmonary and vascular medical workers. Their meeting is in April but the lady in charge for this year’s event wanted to do a treasure hunt and have me come up with the ideas. When I saw your website it looked perfect.
The first group will probably do their thing outside, the second group will be inside at an Embassy Suites. Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.
The Sunday School group will be themed from the Bible, probably from the Old Testament.
The second group would need something with heart and lung theme.
Thanks for the follow up!!

Monday, December 15th, 2008Hi Nikki,
I work for the Department of Human Services Child Welfare for the State of Oregon. The party is taking place here in Portland, Oregon at the Zoo. The date of this event is Tuesday, August 8, starting at 8:30 am. and running until 4:00 pm. Because the State of Oregon does not pay it’s employees to take ‘Party’ days off our event is called the Support Staff Off Site Work Shop Day and the Treasure Hunt is one fun activity we are doing to end the session. The age range of everyone participating is from 26-60. The theme is ‘Safari Hunt’ since it is going to be held in the Zoo. A co-worker and myself went to the Zoo last night and set everything up with the help of their administrative staff. Also, since the state will not allow us to have just and offsite fun day our guest speaker is speaking on communication so each person had to provide me with their favorite animal and they are divided up according to animals. Each person also has to figure out just how there animal communicates so we are using your game and just critiqued it a little. We are all really excited about this event as some of the adults thought this was just a kids game until I explained how the operation was going to work.
I will tell you more about it after the event.
Thank you so much,
Melody Higgins, Oregon USA
Friday, November 21st, 2008We had our pirate treasure hunt game this week-end on our yacht club cruise. We did all the planning, purchasing the treasure and put it together in 3 days with very late nights, but it was a huge success. Everyone had a great time. We have many more ideas for another hunt next year when we will have more time to plan.
Thank-you for all the great ideas and for all the flexibility to the game, it was easily adaptable to our space, weather and various abilities of our players. Our youngest player was 7 years old and our oldest was in their late 60’s and they all enjoyed the challenges, puzzles and best of all finding the map and treasure.
