"The hardest part of setting up a birthday treasure hunt is thinking up the clues...."

...Not any more!

As with any treasure hunt, the idea is to hide some treasure and then make up some clues that will lead the players to the treasure.

As with all party games, you need to adapt the rules/clues to suit the age of the participants.

There are lots of ways to get really exciting and fun clues that you can adapt and suit to the kid's ages and the type of party.
