A game everyone young and old alike loves is hunting for buried treasure. The game has been around for centuries and ranges from a fun party game to businesses specializing in treasure hunting. The game has even gone digital and a quick internet search will reveal many online treasure hunt games. These online games mostly involve searching web pages for clues to the location of the treasure. Some online games involve large cash prizes and are worth the time to check them out.
This game can be challenging or simple depending of the skill level of the participants playing the game. The good thing is the game has a few basic elements and is easy to plan and organise. The basic game includes a hidden treasure, a treasure map and clues to the possible location of the buried treasure. The clues can be written stories, puzzles or riddles designed to lead the players towards the next clue and one step closer to discovering the treasure. You will want the clues to contain enough information to move the game along at a steady pace but not too much information to “give away” the exact location of the buried treasure.
To put some fun into the game you will want to be as random and spontaneous with your clues as they are more of a means to uncover the next clue. Once enough clues are gathered and considered together, the players will have enough information to begin to solve the location of the buried treasure.
The same goes for the treasure map. The map can be designed to lead to dead ends, run players in circles or be missing vital information in a section of the treasure map.
They are a great way to pass some time with the kids and are usually fun memories they will not soon forget. Children love playing this game on their birthdays. One great idea is the use all the goodie bags as hidden treasure with a special bag for the birthday child.
The game can also be organised around any event and are popular games played at bachelorette and bachelor parties, birthday parties, online contests, family reunions, camping trips and family vacations. The great thing is you can never go wrong with a treasure hunt as they are always exciting and lots of fun for everyone to play.
