You will need a lot of keys so ask family members to bring their keys also. (You can purchase large lots of key blanks on eBay for under $10.00) Buy a lock and key. Put the lock on a treasure chest or box of some sort with hidden treasure in it. Hide all of the keys including the key that will open the lock. Everyone searches for a key, when they find a key they try it in the lock- if it doesn\u2019t work they search for another key until someone finds the correct key and opens the treasure. <\/p>\n<h2><font size=\"3\" face=\"Verdana\">Digital Camera Treasure Hunt<\/font><\/h2>\n<h2><font style=\"font-weight: normal\" size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/temple-day-5-and-6-078.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"temple day 5 and 6 078\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"temple day 5 and 6 078\" src=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/temple-day-5-and-6-078_thumb.jpg\" width=\"287\" height=\"193\" \/><\/a><\/font><\/h2>\n<h2><font style=\"font-weight: normal\" size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana\">This is such a fun idea for a family reunion.
