Learn...

How to write fun, challenging clues
How to avoid problems with safety
How to create a beguiling scavenger hunt list
How to plan a super party around the hunts
Where to hide the items sought so they're never taken
How to add more enjoyment with brainstormers

Even more than a step-by-step guide, this book also includes 23 model Treasure Hunt clues, 145 suggestions for a Scavenger Hunt list, 15 Brainstormers, and a 70-item checklist for the Super Party!

What are BRAINSTORMERS?

They're Gordon’s invention. They will make your party the best ever. There are 15 of them in the book, and once you get the hang of them, you can create another dozen right away. (You'll only need 6-12 total to keep your hunters frothing with fun.)

Hunts for adults, teens, kids…

They can be inside your house or school or church, in a park or yard, within a city block, or city- or county-wide…

Hunts that can include cars, feet, phones, computers, digital cameras—or the players can be immobile!

How many can take part in the hunt? Four or 40 or a whole city. (An entire NJ town once used this book to plan their massive outing!)

Hunts can be for your family, friends, church, company, cruise, lodge… Who doesn't love treasure and scavenger hunts?

Here’s the book that shows you how.
