Mystery Numbers Easter Egg Hunt

This adult Easter egg hunt idea comes (paradoxically) from one of the bloggers behind Busy Toddler, whose traditional family hunt includes plenty of shenanigans for adult children and their kids-at-heart parents. For this game of luck, everyone will need to arrive with a little cash in their pocket. After the hunt, the meaning of the mysterious numbers written on the eggs will be revealed—and some will go home a little richer, but others will have to pay up!

Get the tutorial at Busy Toddler.

Note: As the organizer, you will be assigning monetary values to the mystery numbers. Keep those values low so that no one loses their shirt. It should all be in good fun!

Vintage Finds Easter Egg Hunt

Here's an Easter twist on a recent Country Living office gift exchange. Ask all your guests to bring a small vintage find worth around $15–$20, then hide the treasures in plastic eggs before the hunt. Just be sure to give everyone the egg dimensions to ensure the trinkets fit. Ideas: vintage Easter broach, adorably tiny silver salt spoon, embroidered handkerchief, ornate button, cuff links, etc. One egg/prize per person, and any bartering after the hunt is up to the guests.
