Ahoy, captain! A pirate party turns kids into fearless treasure hunters. A treasure map, eye patches, and a hidden bag of gold — the absolute classic for kids aged 4 to 9.

Treasure map hunt

A homemade treasure map (with tea-stained patina) leads through garden or house to the treasure. A classic that always works.
