The Zalunira project was set up in 2011 to help parents organise birthday parties and assist teachers and recreation centre leaders in organising ‘major leisure activities’ such as treasure hunts and detective mysteries. All it takes is a few clicks, it’s that simple to order and then download a ‘ready to print’ treasure hunt for a birthday party or other children’s event.
An innovative concept
Our website dedicated to birthday party games, offers easy to organise printable treasure hunts, in a slightly different format to traditional treasure hunts. Obviously we don’t know where the treasure hunt will be organised (house, apartment, garden, etc.), so we leave you free to choose the hiding places for the clues. This means that you can organise the game out of doors or inside, according to the weather or the size of your home. Our games are easy to understand and quick to organise (around 30 minutes).
What’s included?
Essentially a kit is a 20 page document in PDF format ready for you to download. Every kit includes the certificates awarded to the children at the end of the game. Our original concept combines a plot, the search for clues, solving the riddles and sports challenges. The age groups range from little ones not yet able to read to older children eager to solve a mystery; our activities are both recreational and educational. Each game is an original adventure in which the children solve puzzles in order to complete a quest. On the day, the game starts with the original story. Guided by the game master (organiser), the players advance from clue to clue. The aim of the game varies according on the story you have chosen. The activity is called a treasure hunt and the children may indeed set off in search of treasure. But there are also games that involve uncovering a culprit (detective mysteries) or carrying out a mission given by one of our original characters.
These games offer real freedom to the organisers who can quickly set up a treasure hunt for a birthday party. The games also mean the children work together on educational and recreational activities, a perfect combination of physical activity, cerebral activity and mystery.
