I've never been the Captain of
a whole crew of half-pint Pirates and I was shiverin' in me timbers
before the party!! Ahoy mates, the kids all had a blast...but not nearly
as much fun as the mom's did, when the kids challenged them to duels!!
Your attention to detail minimized my stage fright so that I was able
to be a convincing Captain! The kids loved it so much, I am now going
to do another party! Thanks! Kathy Byrd, Pineville LA
OVERVIEW: This
is a treasure hunt game that is part Survivor, part Fear
Factor and
part Pirates of the Caribbean. There is a real treasure to
be found at the end of the game by one lucky team (who
will of course share their booty with all other teams).
You can have up to 6 teams and each team must visit 6 "ports" or
locations (the number of locations can be
cut down if need be).
The kids are divided into pirate crews (teams).
The captains (selected
by their crew) choose which famous pirate captain
they want to be (all the team names are the names of famous pirates
like Blackbeard, Captain Morgan, etc). Once the team
has selected a captain and the captain has selected a name, the game
can begin.
The object of the game is to visit all 6 ports
on their itinerary and complete a pirate themed challenge
(such as finding hidden coins, creating a pirate flag
or scavenging for pirate items for a team photo) at each port
of call. Some challenges have the team pirates competing against each
other for a winner; other challenges have pirate crews (teams) competing
against each other. When the port challenges are done, the host will
reveal which pirate crew won the chance to go find the hidden treasure
- which they will share with all the other pirate crews of course. The
overall winner is NOT based on who finished the challenges first but
is based on which team collected a specially marked prize during the
Port Challenges (this is to assure the kids don’t
rush through all the ports in an effort to finish first. The object is
for them to have fun, not run).
We had a great party. We had 17
kids and the result was "That
was the BEST Birthday Party EVER!". Thank
you, we will definitely look you up for out next adventure. Sam Fuller,

NUMBER OF
TEAMS/PLAYERS: You can have any number of
teams* but try to limit
the number of members in each team to 6 or less. It
works better with smaller teams as each child has a chance to contribute
his or her ideas and talents for the next challenge. *This
game will work for one team of children; the only change you'll make
is instead of teams competing against each other for a few of the challenges
you'll have the kids compete against each other. If you have more than
6 teams you'll have to start doubling up the teams at the 6 locations.
It shouldn't be a problem but it may get a bit crowded. You may want
to think about setting up duplicate locations (2 sword fighting areas
for example) to keep things running smoothly for your large group of
kids.
AGE RANGE: Age
7 - 12 or 13.
PLEASE
NOTE: An adult or teen will need to be at each of the 6 ports to run
the game/challenge. We highly recommend you enlist
good support if you have a large number of kids.
My child's comment was the best - he said - Mama
this is the best birthday party I ever had - that tells you that this
was fun - all the other kids also said this was unexpected and so were
very happily surprised, kids were giggling throughout the party. Thanks
for the lovely experience! - Lys Reddy, Sunnyvale, CA
