Surprised to dig for treasure

We did have fun. There was one adult and one child on each team and it was so cute to see the kids come wrapped as mummies.

One hyperactive child only came with partial shards of toilet paper since he couldn't stop moving. We weren't picky on how much of their body was covered. One little girl never moved and she came perfectly wrapped. I recommend a toilet paper like Scott, since the softer rolls fell apart too easily. I found out my adult niece couldn't spell backwards and she became very frustrated! I think everyone was surprised that it wasn't just a straightforward 'here's the map, find the treasure' and they were very surprised to actually have to DIG for the treasure!

I used a large tin wrapped in a plastic bag, but when the shovel hit, the bag broke and the tin lid got dented, so a little dirt got in, but not much. The trouble was they kept trying to pull it out before totally uncovering it.
