The kids are divided into pirate crews

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).

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

LENGTH OF THE PIRATE TREASURE HUNT: About 2 hours from start to finish. Remember, the more teams you have the longer the game will take.

PRE-HUNT PREP TIME: You can put this pirate party treasure hunt together in about 6 hours on average (includes shopping for supplies - mostly arts and craft items although you will need one digital camera, reading the pirate hunt and prepping the materials).
