Birthday Treasure Hunt Clues

A birthday treasure hunt is a party game that works for any number of guests and needs almost no equipment. Hide a prize, a gift or the party bags, then send the birthday crew on a clue trail around the house or garden.

Type your spots in order and the clue maker writes a party-themed clue for each one. For big groups, print two sets and race two teams to the treasure.
