Gather Your Supplies

The first step is to gather all your supplies. You will need some sort of chest or box that can hold the final prizes. You can opt for a small pirate style chest, a shoe box or even a plastic pot of gold pot - whatever works best for your theme!

Additionally, you'll want some type of “loot” to fill it with - think gold coins, green bead necklace, candy, and other various trinkets that you can find at any craft store around this time of year. Once you've gathered up your supplies, it's time to plan out how you want the treasure hunt to go.

Create Clues

Creating clues is where the real fun begins! Get creative with your rhymes and riddles so that they are both challenging and fun. If you are stuck when creating your clues remember each one does not have to rhyme. For example, if you are hiding something on a windowsill, write down something like "Where the sun shines through glass, that's where I'll be found."

Once all your clues have been written out, hide them around the house or outside in nature (if weather permits). Make sure each clue leads them closer and closer to their treasure until finally reaching it!

Start Searching!

Once all your clues have been placed, let the searching begin! Working in a group, give one person a clue so the team can start their journey towards finding their loot.

Depending on how many people are participating in the hunt, you may want to split into two teams or stagger when they start so there isn't an overload at one station (especially if they are doing this inside).

Additionally, try not to give them too much help if they get stuck - part of the fun is figuring out what each clue means on their own!

How To Do a Treasure Hunt

Once you have created your clue cards you will keep the first one aside and hide the remaining clues. So begin by hiding clue number 2 in the place that the first clue will lead your players to. Then continue hiding the clue cards, finishing by placing the final 'congratulations' card with the final treasure or prize.

When you start your treasure hunt you will hand the first clue to the players. If you have younger children playing you can also place a small St Patrick's Day themed object such as a shamrock with each paper clue to make it easier for them to spot.
