The Treasure Hunt. Again the kids were divided into two teams, each team captained by a birthday boy. Picture clues in envelopes had been hidden throughout the house, each clue leading them to the next. Having a birthday boy on each team was important since some of the clues only they would know the answer. The teams were given their first clue (Team A's envelope contained a picture of a bandage (upstairs hall closet), Team B had a screwdriver - tool chest in the basement). The teams also had helpers with them to prompt if they got stuck. Clues were laid out so both teams would end up in the living room.  The final clue for each team was a Christmas tree. Boys birthday is in Dec. but I hold off putting up the tree until their birthday is over, so the spot where the tree normally goes is where a table sits. After a bit of prompting they were able to figure out that they should look under the tablecloth. Once the cloth was lifted some balloons filled with helium were released and they found a cannonball pinata with a skull and crossbones on it.
