<update><\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for all the suggestions!\u00a0 The treasure hunt went quite well and it seems all the kids had a great time.<\/p>\n

We started out playing ‘Are you smarter then a 5th grader’.\u00a0 3 Questions a round. If the adults won the round,\u00a0 chore chard is awarded to which they can do whatever the like with it.\u00a0 If the kids won, a Christmas card is given with 1 word in it.\u00a0 6 cards total.\u00a0 The words were: “black”, “face”, “music”, “look”, “behind”, “plate”.\u00a0 Now, once they got all 6 cards, they were then handed 6 clues to find pieces of the BMW symbol hidden around the house.\u00a0 Once they collected the puzzle pieces, they could tell it was my car and ran out to it.\u00a0 It took them a while to figure out to press the face plate button, but they got it.\u00a0 When they pressed the button, the final clue fell out guiding them to a book hidden in the house.\u00a0 This is a fake book.\u00a0 Inside it is a key.\u00a0 The key opens the lock on the treasure chest.\u00a0 Inside the chest was their gifts.. Pirate treasure, or in the case LOTS and LOTS of $1. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

…… <\/update><\/em><\/p>\n

Ok, I put this on every year and it works like this..<\/p>\n

There are a series of games the kids play.\u00a0 Normally vs. their parents.\u00a0 Each time they win one of the games, they get a clue.\u00a0 The collection of these clues leads them to the treasure, which are their gifts and the grandparents gift. (kids are between 18 and 11)<\/p>\n

So this year, I’m having a tough time thinking of good clues.\u00a0 I want to have a clue that would sent the kids to my car and have them press the ‘show control face’ on my radio.\u00a0 Hidden in there will be another clue to.. somewhere.<\/p>\n

So the help I’m looking for this is.. What would be a good clue to bring them to the car and press the control button, and what be a good clue from there to a hiding place? (I still do not know where I will hide the actual treasure chest.\u00a0 (thinking dryer?, a cabinet?, truck of another car?)<\/p>\n

The trick this time is.. The clue to my car will be given out word by word.\u00a0 So they will have to put the words together to figure out the clue.\u00a0 The more games they win, the more words they get, the easier the clue!<\/p>\n

So tweeters, can someone help me out on a good clue to my car, and to show the retractable face, and another clue to some other spot.<\/p>\n

Oh… and, I need it by 3:00 pm.\u00a0 I’m driving up at 10:00am.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 The game starts at 6:00 pm.<\/p>\n

Here are image of the radio if that helps.<\/p>\n
