REVIEW: "Omgosh Susan! I just had to let you know how great your product is. The fact that you followed up just to make sure everything went well lets me know the amount of care that goes into what you do. After fretting my brain for an entire day, I was up against a wall as to what to do for our summer camp. I only had 24 hours to come up with a treasure hunt style game for the kids. Words cannot express how much the kids enjoyed the "whodunit" game. I can't thank you enough for creating such a wonderful game that both kids and adults alike can have fun with together." Warmest Regards, Chandra Williams

OVERVIEW: This group game is designed with a house (or camp) full of kids in mind. Your group will be divided into teams of up to 6 kids each*. The premise is simple: the kids are attending a party (or camp activity) of some sort. Once they’ve arrived and settled in they’ll be given 2 projects to complete (one is arts and crafts based; the other is a performance). After they finish these projects, things will take a surprising turn and they’ll be called upon to solve a mystery by putting together and/or finding clues that will lead them to a thief and a stolen item.  We’ve added in a photo challenge using disposable cameras so the kids can capture the fun they're having.

NUMBER OF TEAMS/PLAYERS: Unlimited. Recommended minimum per team: 3. Maximum: 8.

? What if you only have a few kids participating in this mystery/hunt? Instead of dividing them into teams, you can keep them all on one team for this game.

AGE RANGE: This kids' party game is for 7 to 12 year olds.

LENGTH OF GAME: About 2 hours.

PRE-HUNT PREP TIME: About 4 hours. You mostly need to print, read and make some simple adaptations to the game*, plant a few clues and shop for prizes, disposable cameras and some arts and craft supplies. *The surprise ending will be that one of the kids attending the party is the thief. (You or one of your helpers can also be the thief.) We provide what we call a “culprit quiz” so you can easily design up to 4 clues leading to whodunit.

NOTE: You will need an adult or teen to play the role of "doorkeeper" - they will greet the kids and be the person in charge. This doorkeeper (yes, you can even take on this role) will need to read instructions and guide the kids through the game. You can also add optional Alien Detection Agents (2 or more) - see Part 2 below.

REVIEW: " I just wanted you to know that the girls loved sleuthing. Your Catch Me If You Can ideas were great! Be proud for you are opening minds to the world of mystery!" - Thanks again, MOM-whom-is-stressed-no-more (aka Jo Hensley, Marshfield, MO)

There are 5 parts to this mystery game:

Part 1: Showing Off. This is where the teams will show off their arts and crafts skills and how entertaining they can be as a team.  These 2 projects will take approximately 45 minutes.

Part 2:  To Catch A Thief!  The party will be raided by Alien Detection Agents* and take a surprising twist.  The kids will be called up to solve a crime – a theft.  The thief will challenge them “to catch me if you can”.  The teams will be given a set of instructions written by the thief that they must follow to the letter.  First, they’ll need to put together clues to find out WHAT was stolen. Next they’ll need to go on a mini-hunt to find 4 clues as to WHO stole it all while taking photos for the thief’s scrapbook.  Timing: approximately 90 minutes.  *The raid and the Alien Detection Agency Agents are optional but recommended. The stolen item is green slime taken from an extraterrestrial OR as an alternative for an all girls party, the item is poisoned lipstick. You can also edit the game to have this stolen item be anything you want.

Part 3: One More Thing…The final activity is a challenge (in the form of a word scramble) to find the actual item that was stolen. Timing: approximately 15 minutes.

Part 4: Captured! The ending surprise will be that one of the kids attending the party is the thief.  Yes it will even be a surprise to them. (You or one of your helpers can also be the thief.)  Timing: Approximately 15 minutes.

Part 5: Job Well Done! You’ll have an awards presentation so all the teams are rewarded for a job well done. Timing: Approximately 5 minutes.

"The girls told me that if they had to grade this party on a scale of 1-10, they give it an 11!!! Many others told me its was the greatest party of the year. A few parents called the next day to say that their kids had such a great time that they were still talking about it! I think it helped my son's self esteem more than anything else..." Lisa Marten, Macomb, MI

"It kept those crazy boys busy for 2 hours! A mothers dream! My skeptical husband LOVED it!...You proved you can have a large party and not go insane!!" Mollie Brown, Madison, GA
