Joe The Bad Pirate Treasure Hunt Game
by Camille
(DR)
A some what normal treasure hunt game, where the kids are driven around and around the house and garden, while hunting for the treasure.
We live in an apartment complex near the beach, so there isn't much room for the kids to go except in our building or around it.
Anyway, this is how I made the clues for the treasure hunt game:
At first, I wrote a little story about Joe William B. the pirate (slightly scary, like he's dead now, and he buried his treasure, and is watching you! He also says he has left his treasure for some boy named Jack or so, and will revenge on anyone else who steals or takes it!)
You can let your fantasy go wild, what's important is that it really looks like some sort of will with slightly faded ink, torn and burned slightly on the edges.
Then, I started tearing/ripping up little pieces of paper to make the clues. They where written in ink and some times in pencil.
This is what I wrote at one point:
"I have moved my treasure to a safer place. Keep looking. TIP: I love relaxing in a cozy hammock/ or: TIP: I love relaxing in a web that is not a web!"
Like a fun story. This clue points to a hammock we have in the garden, where the kids can find another cool clue like:
"Ehm, do you know where I can get a good beer to drink while overlooking the sea? I'm sooo thursty."
Pointing at the bar by the pool, where drinks are stored.
Another clue, says that the kids have to swim in the pool to retrieve a lost clue.
I put the clue into an empty glass maple syrup bottle and let it drop to the bottom.
In there I wrote:
"Help! my ship is on fire! I might not make it to the shore... Black beard the pirate is following me! once you have escaped the sea, run as fast as you can for 50 steps!"
and so on....
Hope you've enjoyed this little text and that your children/child will have a LOVELY BIRTHDAY PARTY!
