Need a party game for an event at the clogging studio? Try a treasure hunt! I had so much fun creating an outdoor treasure hunt for Clog Camp at Fancy Free Studio last weekend, I decided to write clues for an indoor dance studio treasure hunt. We have unique decor at FFC Studio (Bean Chicken, I'm lookin' at you!), but these clues focus on items visible at dance classes everywhere. Customize as needed to fit your location.

Rules

Whatever you decide! (In preparing this post, I learned there is a difference between a treasure hunt and a scavenger hunt. Feel free to fall into that rabbit hole on the internet!) 

A typical treasure hunt gives out only the first clue, which the class must solve to find the next clue. The final clue leads to a prize. This can be an activity the class performs together, or separate hunts can be set up for teams to race against each other.

A non-sequential treasure hunt lists every clue at once. Teams collect an item such as a sticker from each clue location. This allows the team to solve clues in any order or skip a clue if they are stuck.

Another option is to place all the clues in a grab bag and teams draw a new clue from the teacher each time they solve one. This prevents teams from following each other and makes the game more competitive, as each team tries to solve clues faster to obtain more points. Difficult clues may be assigned higher point values to make things more interesting.
