What is Birthday Scavenger Hunt?
A ten-minute activity that needs zero preparation on the day: challenges use what is already at the party — a balloon, a present (don't open it!), a party hat, a photo with the birthday person — and the screen keeps the pace with a countdown and a cheer for every find.
Play in teams, hand out a small prize for the most finds, and use the Photo theme for older kids and adults.
