How to organize your Easter treasure hunt
Here’s how to create a memorable Easter quest step by step.
Start by hiding a basket filled with chocolate or surprises somewhere in your home or yard. Then:
- Fill plastic eggs with clues, riddles, or directions.
- Create a simple map of your space (garden or house).
- Mark 10 locations with crosses—only one will hide the treasure.
- At each marked location, place a numbered riddle (1 through 9).
- Direct the kids to the first riddle and let the adventure begin!
Each correct answer will guide them to the next clue. As they progress, they mark the solved clues on the map. The final riddle will lead them to the hidden treasure!
