Preparation & Setup

Get started and set up your Party

Get cozy, make a coffee- It only takes 15 minutes to prepare the whole Party Entertainment

• Each item is marked with a Number. Look out for the sticker! Place them all outside the box for better visibility.

• Use the "Map sheet of paper" (item 1) and draw the room/ area (if outdoor)- draw important marks ( sofa, tree, fireplace) etc. and draw the final area where you will hide the treasure.
  --> Rip the map into 8 pieces and you have your 8 clues

  The clues don`t have to be logically connected. They might also win a clue from you -when- for example - they solve a riddle or win a game.

• Hide the first clue in a shoe/ cupboard/ shoe rack/ behind a tree

• Fill the golden star-shaped Piñata with some sweets and add one piece of the Map

• Prepare Pot and wooden Spoon for blindfolded Pot game

• Get a white A4 paper and draw - using the secret ink pen - (item 2) an Arrow that shows in the direction where you will hide another clue. Kids have to find out that they have to use the magic pen light to make it visible.

• On a blanket ( when in the park) or on a table - prepare the Masks (item 3) and the tattoos( item 4) and a bowl with water and towel

• in the corner of the table prepare (for later) the wooden rocket crafts. ( Item 11)

• Hide the treasure
  --> Take (item 5) the treasure box and add in the beads and pipe cleaners (item 6) - Pipe cleaners are a little easier to handle for the small hands to put on the beads.
  The treasure is everything needed for the last craft. You can also add in sweets. Hide it somewhere under a blanket / under the sofa/ outdoors behind the tree and mark it with some of the glitter tape with a big X.

• Prepare the "Take home bags" (Item 7) so that the kids can fill it with what they craft, what they find in the piñata, treasure and any extras you would like to add.
