Romantic Pleasure and Treasure  Hunt

A treasure hunt isn’t just for kids at birthday parties; adults can certainly enjoy the thrill of the chase just as much!

Treasure Hunts Amongst Us

Jack Sparrow, Indiana Jones,  The Black Swan … these names bring about images of treasure hunting in our time.  Of course, Captain Jack and Dr. Jones were the main characters of terrific movie franchises. The Black Swan was an actual treasure recovery off of Gibralter in 2007.  They recovered 17 tons of gold coins worth 500 million dollars!  Wow, that’s a big score.

And I would like to ad that I was fortunate enough to walk on the beach that Jack Sparrow made famous.  Do you remember the scene when he ran for his life!  He was being chased from all of those cannibal characters that were after his life and limb!  That beach is in the Bahamas , and it is fabulous!  Nicest beach I have ever been on, and I have been fortunate to travel to many.  I have some pics from that trip around here somewhere.  I’ll post some so if they aren’t up when you read this , come back and find them.

Anyways, treasure hunts and scavenger hunts are great fun, and perfect for some Valentines play.  I hope you have had the pleasure of being involved in a few.  Kids birthday parties use them.   Staff parties scavenge hunts are always a blast.  So read on and let’s get organized.

Consider planning out an elaborate treasure hunt that leads your partner to each destination with love notes, offering simple clues as to what to do next.   Start with giving your partner one little clue while offering “rewards” along the way.

A Real Life Example

For example, when my best friend did this for his wife he started with offering her a love note, which instructed her to go to a certain address.  This address, the local florist had a dozen red roses waiting for her with a note attached that led her to her next destination.

From one place to another, each stop presented her with another love note and another gift.

By the time she reached the final destination, a package containing a room key and a blindfold in a secret envelope were handed to her by the clerk at a luxury hotel.    When she entered the room, he had a gorgeous spread on the floor by the fireplace.

Accompanying the picnic lunch, there were candles all over the place, music playing and of course, her husband – waiting to begin the treasure and pleasure hunt in a whole new way.
