The Treasure Hunt Book with Other (Klutz) [Paperback]

Klutz Press (Editor)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Klutz

Congratulations! You've just found the world's first set of pre-printed, ready-to-go treasure hunts - an incredibly rich trove of real kid fun, no adults required. The basic idea is easy. You, the hunt organizer, choose a hunt and tear out its set of perforated clues. On the back of each clue you'll find instructions for exactly where to hide it. Once the clues are all hidden, hand the first clue to your hunters, and get out of the way. Your house is now Treasure Island. There are 12 different treasure hunts here, including hunts with riddle clues, word scrambles, hieroglyphics, rebuses, charades and secret codes - even a colour coded hunt for pre-readers. Each hunt is beautifully illustrated by a different artist, so these full-colour clues are worth finding - and keeping. Pockets inside the front and back cover store the clues so they can be used again. Keep in mind one surprising discovery we made while testing this book - it's not the treasure that matters but the thrill of the hunt.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure of a book, January 9, 2001

This book has a wide variety of treasure hunts from those for pre-readers to more complicated ones that even adults can enjoy. Included are the clues and where to hide them, and also pockets to store them in. I really enjoyed the indoor ones and am looking forward to trying the outdoor ones as soon as the weather turns. These are fun for rainy days, or for parties as well. There is a total of 12 treasure hunts included. The first 3 are geared more to the pre-readers, and get more difficult with picture puzzles, and scrambled words as well as riddles and codes. It is a fun book, everyone can enjoy

My 4 year old loves Treasure hunts, puzzles, etc... When I saw this, I knew it was for her! There are treasure hunts of all levels in this book. In the hunts at the first of the book, the clue may be as easy as a picture of the next place you should look. It progresses in difficulty to clues that you need to hold up to a mirror to read - and riddles that you must solve. So, it is equally fun for an older crowd of kids as well. The hunt is so much fun, the kids might not even need a treasure! The cards can be torn out of the book and kept in the pockets inside the covers, then used again. Klutz does it again!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is so much fun and so easy!!!!, March 23, 2002

This book arrived today, and I am so thrilled, it is better than I imagined. There are 11 treasure hunts with the clues provided, suitable for all ages. I will keep the book hidden and use one for the Easter Egg Hunt. We'll do another for my daughters 8th birthday party with her friends, and the best thing is, we can use them again and again. I know this is going to be one of those books that is borrowed often!
