ARGHHH Maties!!! Tis the time to think of the seven seas, and to avoid having your party head to Davy Jones’ locker. 
To top off your pirate party theme a scavenger hunt is the ONLY way to go. Not only does this sell your party and make it a great way for kids to have a massive game (as big or as small as you WANT!).
Supplies
This starts with small treasure chests, I have even used the plastic Easter eggs painted gold and black for this. You also need a few small puzzles (I like the 25 piece). You also need a LARGE chest for the final prize.
Setup
- Put your puzzle together and FLIP it.
- draw a map with a permanate market on the back of the puzzle, leading the pirate crew to the hidden treasure.
- put 1 piece of puzzle in each small chest (I use the painted Easter eggs for this).
- HIDE the small chests..
- Now fill your large chest with enough for EVERYONE playing to get booty.
The Hunt
- Show those playing the small chest and tell them how many they need to find.
- As they find them have them put the map together.
- once all pieces are found flip the puzzle and let the crew go find the final treasure.
This is a GREAT game and depending on the size of you Map (puzzle) you can dictate how long it takes to play. Kids and Teens LOVE this game, and if you put a $5 in a few of the eggs for the finders it makes it even more competitive for youth groups.
