Thursday, August 6th, 2009I have read through the planner and know this is going to be lots of fun. We are having a family reunion July 27, 28, 29, 2007 and I am planning this treasure hunt. I am so glad I found you and the treasure hunt that is all put together for me. The theme of our reunion is mystery island, it is located on a lake and we have never been there as a family before. I have been there twice now to plan /set up the reunion. There will be about 100 people of all ages. There is a beach area and dock and woodsy area on about 5 acres of land where we will have a treasure hunt. I feel this is going to be a perfect setting for a treasure hunt. I am so excited that I got this great tool to make everything so much easier.
Thank you

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Hi Nikki,
Thanks so much for your info! We had a beach party for 3 graduates with all ages attending and had a great time.
Since we weren’t in a familiar area, I made a list of "Something (with) ______." The small kids had a wonderful time and felt very included.
With appreciation,

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009Hi Nikki
Party was yesterday and thankfully was a great success. As you would expect weather very unpredictable in Ireland for Nov but we were blessed with a dry if windy day. Have taken some photos and will email them to you this week.
Thanks so much for package which I must say was very thorough. The hardest part for me was trying to contain the children (21 in total) when they arrived at party and explain how the treasure hunt worked. Your website details have been passed to several parents so hopefully you will reap the rewards. Thanks again and photos will follow.

Thanks for your suggestions I’m well on my way to piecing together a custom treasure hunt for my stepdaughter’s sweet sixteen.
Thanks for all your help.

Saturday, August 1st, 2009Hi Nikki! We had our treasure hunt yesterday. It was awesome. The kids had a blast. Age ranges were from 7 to 10. Since my daughter had a dog theme going, I changed the team names to The Pink Poodles, the Golden Doodles, and the Blue Bulldogs. Kids laughed at the names and were proud to be one of the 3. I also structured the activities you suggested to include the dog theme. For ex, the toilet paper wrapping… I pretended that one person was a hairless dog and the kids needed to put fur on by covering themselves with the toilet paper. Then they would create a furry doggy! Also, instead of a pirate flag, we made a dog flag by putting dog stickers, words to describe puppies, and drew bones. As for the treasure, we actually buried it in our yard and gave them shovels. They had a ball! Not only was it fun for the kids, it was fun for the adults watching the kids run all over the yard to complete the 6 stations.
Thanks so much for a great party idea! This is a keeper!! What a memorable experience!
