You could do it in your outside area and hide treasure to be found, either draw a map to find the treasure or make up clues of where to look; or you could do it as a trip with someone going ahead to lay out things to find; or you could do a pre-existing hunt like the Stoke Park Sculpture Trail, where the sculptures are the treasure, .
