I thinking that's not the intention, no. ;)

Because of the way the recipies work, I'd also advise being cautious as to using edible treats. Things that might melt, get stale , etc.

I love this thread. We've got 2 birthdays coming up and I just might have to make one a treasure hunt.

Last year we did a Fear Factor party that was fun. (or was it the year before).

My daughter went to a party in pre-school where they had a "treasure hunt". They put small prizes, plastic gold coins, rings and such into buckets of sand. Then the kids dug through to get the prizes. It was at a public park so when they were done they just added the sand to the sand box there.

Don't push the button! The button is bad!
