My wife and I had a treasure hunt with our oldest grandson. I think he was about 5 when we did it. It was great and he loved it. Now I take him hunting morels and ginseng. Almost like a treasure hunt, only we have to actually Find them. Lol.
Damn, I've been planning to do this for my son for a while. I already bought around 8 lbs of bulk coins from the 18th to 20th century. I've been looking for a little chest along the lines of what was used in this vid and I was planning on using old parchment for the map. I'm going to hide the map in a vase that I will set him up to break so he can discover it. I thought my idea was super original, apparently I'm just another dad...

Thanks. I can't wait to do this, I'm basically waiting for the right time. Had the idea for 2 years. Been searching France's equivalent to Craigslist for a good treasure chest infrequently though the tab has been open on my browser for over a year. Seen a few potentials but not before they had sold. He's not quite ready yet so no rush, but this will happen.

There's a zillion of them on amazon. That or you could pay a local woodworker/carpenter/furniture maker to make one.

Clues to treasure are the best part.
‘turn around three and half times, walk in a straight line, don’t burn yourself”
Clue was in the oven……….., under the jew bones……, just kidding…….., oven is broken, kikes still waiting…
Really though, one time I did I treasure hunt with my youngest daughter……, the treasure was her birthday gifts…
I hung them off of the balcony by a shoe string. Three heavy bags…., one thin tether….., long way down………………….!
She figured it out and still tells how great it was searching
We do escape rooms as a family group now that the kids are grown…, still so much fun!!
