Naughty or Nice Treasure Hunt

Step 1

Assemble a selection of items to hide. For a children's party, hide items that follow the party's theme, such as crowns and candy necklaces for a princess party. For an adult's party, such as a stag and doe, make the items as racy and sexy as the party group can handle.

Step 2

Hide the items around the party venue. Make the hiding places simple for children and progressively more difficult as the age group increases.

Step 3

Write down a list of the items onto two sheets of paper. Once your guests have arrived, divide the group into two teams and give each team a copy of the list.
