Why treasure hunts are great for your whole family or even friends to enjoy!

Remember those times outside filled with fun and frolic while growing up? Having fun with family once or twice a year or running around with friends? Those are the times that are the hardest to forget. What a large many of us don’t understand is, while playing outdoor games and sports, kids are figuring out how to think, dissect, appreciate, comprehend ideas, handle general thoughts, investigate their innovativeness, practice critical thinking and look over their language abilities. The fact that children stay restricted within their homes with their gadgets is a hindrance in the way of their cognitive development. 

Treasure hunt comes to rescue as one activity that can not only be done with friends and family but also enhances cognitive abilities, promotes physical activity, improves social skills, and all of these while being super fun. 

Given the current work scenarios, the meaning of ‘family’ has altered almost entirely. Members hardly get any time to spend together anymore and treasure hunts necessitate that players work together in teams, solving puzzles together, finding clues and more. This can be a great way for families to catch up on their lost times together. 

Another aspect that makes Treasure hunt fun is it’s flexibility. Treasure hunts can be planned and personalised by choosing events from venues like in the basement or backyard and making custom clues. They can also include personal details related to the family members or the friends’ group in the puzzles or the clues which will help you recall and relive those moments again, laugh out loud and create more lasting memories. 

This very flexibility makes it a great game for friends who are catching up after a long time. They’ll be able to revisit the memory lanes with the customised clues, treasures and more, explore various new locations together and make new memories. 

It’s undoubtedly one of the go-to team activities that goes beyond the age.
