Start by getting a group of kids or adults together for this game, maybe at a party. You can even make it a family event and have teams of families for the treasure hunt.

Find certain items that you can play the game with. Make sure these items are not too big and that you can hide them away in difficult to find places. If you are the organizer, you will have to keep everyone in one room or place, then go off to place these around the neighborhood.

Finish hiding the items. Make sure you place a clue at each item you placed, that will lead them to the next item. Provide the kids or adults with difficult clues or else the game will be over too fast. Make the treasure something fun, yummy or inexpensive.

Make sure that the items you have placed out in the open all equal the amount of teams you have. Make different clues for each family and see where they end up. Be fair and keep the clues at the same difficulty level.

Go to the families and give them their first clue. Let them head out to find the clues and see who will arrive at the treasure first. It will feel like a race for these clues. You find most people, even families, are quite competitive.
