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.

Send the group off on a hunt for the treasure. Watch little children delight in their finds and the naughty smiles on the faces of your grown up group of friends. The teams continue to search until all items have been found. The team with the most items wins the game.
