The biggest challenge, however, is the stopwatch.  You have just sixty seconds to complete the directions in the one-minute game.

Players then take turns reading a sentence aloud while trying to not laugh or smile. Anyone who laughs, snickers, or grins is out. You can also up the punishment by making offenders take a shot!

Charades

You can’t go wrong with a fun game of Charades (or Pictionary.) To get things started, use the cards included in the packet for the game. You can also give each of your guests a few minutes to come up with some funny suggestions with blank cards to personalize the game to your friend group. This game is all about creativity and using your imagination, so the more outrageous the charade, the better!

Bite the Bag

Sorta like limbo but not. This is a hilariously funny game that gets worse as the night goes on. Place a brown paper bag on the floor. A player must reach down and pick it up with their mouth. The only thing that is allowed to touch the floor is your feet (no hands, no knees) and the only thing that is allowed to touch the bag is your mouth. After every round, cut off an inch from the top of the bag and play again. This game is like limbo in reverse. How low can you go?

Two Truths and a Lie

This is a great icebreaker game or getting-to-know-you game for early in the night. Pick 3 statements to tell about yourself. Example: “I have two siblings, I’ve been to three continents, and I love cats.” Two should be true; one should be a lie. Everyone else must guess which is the lie. If you’re playing with family or friends, pick obscure details to try to trick each other to make it even more fun.

Scavenger Hunt

If you have some time, do something unusual like a one-hour scavenger hunt. Instead of doing this at home, go around town. Team members will try to find some of the strangest things like a Refrigerator box, coin from 1983, town clock, egg carton, deposit slip, take-out menu, or even a photo of the entire team in a shopping cart.

To help your friends meet new friends, pair up your groups with friends that might not know each other well yet. From the start line to the finish line, the around-town scavenger hunt team bonding will quickly create new friendships and are great ice breakers to the start of the night. Wait until you hear all the stories up on the return of the birthday hunt.

Who says that kids get to have all the fun? Scavenger hunts for adults are totally a thing – as they should be! The best part is that all the guests at the party will be running around, letting their “friendly competition” shine. Add a few drinks in your hand, set a time limit, and let everyone have a great time acting a fool.

Alternatively, this adult scavenger hunt can also be used for two. Since extra clues are included, transition these scavenger hunt clues into a couples scavenger hunt with an optional scavenger hunt clue card that ends up in the…. bed!

Scavenger Hunt Clues for Adults

These birthday treasure hunt clues around the house aren’t necessarily racy, they just happen to be harder riddles for adults to solve. In addition to being harder riddles about objects at home, there are a few riddles that mention drinks (implied adult beverages) and one optional couple’s treasure hunt clue that ends in bed. This clue can, of course, be left out and another clue can be replaced to finish the birthday treasure hunt.

These are a few example clue cards included in the adult scavenger hunt set.

First Clue

This first clue kicks off the fun, which will last until we’re done. To make sure that you’re not last, look where your foot presses to go fast.

Clue 2

To find the next clue, you’ll have to think, you always go here when you need a drink.

Final clue – optional birthday clue

Happy birthday to you, I hope you have the best year. Now one last place for us to head, let’s get in the ____ (bed).

… and 21 more adult scavenger hunt clue cards pick the ones you want or use the editable scavenger hunt template to write your own personalized scavenger hunt clues.

How to write your own clues for adults

However, if you don’t like these clues you can create your own with the editable PDF document. Simply think of the place you want the clue to be found. For example, in the bed and find a word that could rhyme with bed. Let’s say red.

Then get creative and write your own romantic scavenger hunt clue.

“Don’t let your face turn red, meet me in the bed!“

If that isn’t for you, no worries! Use our twenty-four included rhyming riddles for adults.

Scavenger Hunt Prizes for Adults

One of my favorite parts of scavenger hunts is the bonding memories but of course the fun prizes. One of the best ways to make a scavenger hunt more interesting is to have small prizes. These fun gifts are can be used at the end of the scavenger hunt with the last final clue. However, if you have lots of small gifts, have them with each clue card! Before launching the scavenger hunt, be sure to decide on the prizes that the winner will get!

Some fun scavenger hunt prizes for adults might include:

• Gift certificates
• Spa day package
• Candy or chocolates
• Sports tickets
• Movie night bundle

If you choose, you can edit the blank clue cards. Simply Open Adobe Acrobat (free version here) and type up your own clues or leave it as is with the existing fun clues. The editable cards do come with colorful designs and prints but can also be printed in black and white to save ink.

To begin your scavenger hunt, cut out the clue cards. Choose the clue cards you want to use. If this adult scavenger hunt is for a birthday boy or birthday girl, keep the birthday cards in a series of clues. If not, take them out. You might want to number your cards so you have a planned order for the treasure hunt for adults.

Begin to lay your final clues throughout the house. If any of the printable clues do not fit your apartment or home, then leave those clues out. Be sure to save the first clue card so you can give it to the player.

With the last clue card, have a huge prize. Alternatively, you can have a small gift or party favor with each of the clue cards or with every other clue card.
