Zoo Mystery Party for 10 year old Birthday
My daughter and her friends absolutely loved this party. They all had a blast and loved getting the riddles and finding the clues. They decided to work together as a team. It was so fun to hear their different reasonings why it had to be or couldn't be a certain animal. The party took a bit longer than I thought it would but it was super fun, and they were all excited that they got the answers right. The only thing I would change is the charade bonus game. The suggested words and phrases to act out were way to hard for them. I should have read through them and changed them.

Memorable Party
The party was fantastic! Everything was well mapped out and explained and there was plenty of extra activities to add to the fun! I found the kids having to write out clues was a bit challenging for some but we got through that part. The kids loved looking for clues and their final treasure. I added one more clue with a code wheel. and made a indiviudal clue for each child so that they could do their own hunt and then sent the code wheel home as a thank you card. Also set up a green screen and took pictures of them in their costumes with a zoo backdrop. Kids had a blast and really got into their character. Was a great time. Thanks for this.
