About This Article
To plan a romantic treasure hunt, it’s easiest to start with your final treasure and work your way backwards. Once you've picked where you want your final treasure to be, choose 5-10 locations to hide clues in that lead up to that last spot. Ideally, choose places with sentimental value to you both. You can do a small scale treasure hunt around the house, or a bigger one, using locations around your town or city. For example, the first clue might be, “The place we first kissed,” or “Our favorite restaurant.” Then, hide the second clue at that location. You can also leave small gifts with the clues to build up to the final gift. Once you’ve set up the treasure hunt, give it a test run to make sure it all fits together. Then, give your partner the first clue or leave it somewhere obvious for them to find. For more tips, including how to incorporate activities into your romantic treasure hunt, read on!
