For my 13th birthday party I had a scavenger hunt at a local mall. I invited 5 of my good friends (6 people in total including me.) About 3 days prior to my
party my mom went to the mall searching for clues to put on our "clue list" - which both teams would recieve the day of the party. She then created questions for our clue lists.
Some questions were in the form of a riddle, so we would have to first figure out the store we had to go to. For example she would write; "This store is named after a city - Go there and
buy ONE 'Pocket Angel'" In a different event some questions were straight foward. For example; "Go to Target and purchace a $3.00 pack of goodie hair pins." And finally some
questions required us to find information. For example; "How many doors are there in the mall?" On the day of my party all of my guests arrived at my house to meet before we left to
the mall. Once we arrived at the mall we were divided into two teams (this was done randomly by picking cards out of a deck.) We also set a 1 1/2 hour time limit to find as much as possible.
In addition we figured an end point where we would all meet when we were done. Each team was given a bag to carry, a watch, the clue list \*\*Each clue list was jumbled in a different order
so teams would not run into eachother\*\* and $20.00 to spend on items to be bought. My mom also took time to explain the rules and proper mall etiquette when searching...After this we were
off! When we finally ended our searching the winning team was awarded jumbo sized candy bars :) We all had a blast and everyone was commenting on funny things that happend during the hunt.
The party favors were all the items that we bought during the scavenger hunt; like earings, hair items, etc. My party didn't end there though. We headed off to a yummy italian restraunt where
we had cake and opened presents. Considering the fact that this party was fairly in-expensive and GREAT FUN I would recommend this to any teenage girl! I truly had a fabulous time and so did
my friends. We still talk about it today!
