Bocce Eggs: Lawn Game Elegance

• How to Play:

• Dice Game Easter Egg Hunt

Dice Game Egg Hunt: Luck & Strategy

Movie Ticket Easter Egg Hunt

• Setup:
  • Hide movie tickets (for upcoming releases or classic films) inside plastic eggs or attach them to mini movie posters.
  • Add themed clues inspired by famous movies (e.g., “Find the egg near the ‘Jaws’ poster” or “Follow the yellow brick road to your ticket”).
  • For extra challenge, include trivia questions: Solve a movie quote puzzle to unlock a hidden “VIP ticket” with a premium prize (e.g., theater snacks, a streaming subscription).
• Pro Tip: Match the hunt to a movie genre (e.g., horror, rom-com) and decorate with props like popcorn buckets or vintage film reels.

Candy Easter Egg Hunt

• How to Play:
  1. Fill clear plastic eggs with gourmet candies (think dark chocolate truffles, sour gummies, or artisan jelly beans).
  2. Hide them indoors/outdoors and set a time limit (e.g., 15 minutes).
  3. Scoring: Award points for rare eggs (e.g., golden eggs with extra treats) or speed—who can collect the most eggs and solve a quick riddle on the back?
• Upgrade: Add a “mystery egg” with a grand prize, like a chocolate fondue set or a gourmet candy basket.

Nail Polish Easter Egg Hunt

• What You’ll Need:
  • Mini nail polish bottles (full-size or samples), nail art stickers, or cuticle oil.

Spa Day Easter Egg Hunt

What You’ll Need:

• Spa Goodies: Mini bath bombs, lotion samples, sheet masks, aromatherapy rollers, bubble bath minis, and eye masks.
• Bonus Prizes: Coupons for at-home treatments (e.g., “20-minute shoulder massage” or “DIY face mask kit”).
• Hiding Spots: Tuck items in garden foliage, bathroom cabinets, or cozy corners (think: near a plush robe or candle).

How to Play:

1. Theme the Space: Add eucalyptus garlands, soft music, and candlelight for ambiance.
2. Customize Eggs: Label eggs with spa “treatments” (e.g., 🧴 = lotion, 🛁 = bath bomb).
3. Group Activity: After the hunt, host a mini spa session—use the masks and lotions together for ultimate relaxation.

Easter Egg Bath Bombs

Easy DIY Recipe (Makes 6 eggs):

• Ingredients:
  • 1 cup baking soda, ½ cup citric acid, ¼ cup Epsom salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, 10 drops essential oil (lavender or citrus), food coloring
  • Easter egg-shaped molds

Steps:

1. Mix dry ingredients, then add oil and color—stir gently to avoid fizzing.
2. Pack into molds, let dry overnight, then pop out for hiding.
3. Hunt Tip: Hide these fragrant eggs in baskets or near a bathtub with a “relaxation station” sign.

Bonus: Gift wrapped bath bombs make perfect party favors for guests to take home!

Truth-or-Dare Easter Egg Hunt

How to Prep:

1. Fill Eggs With:
   • Truth Questions: “What’s your most embarrassing childhood memory?” or “If you could redo one day, which would it be?”
   • Dares: “Sing the chorus of your favorite guilty-pleasure song” or “Do 10 jumping jacks!”
2. Hide Strategically: Place tricky eggs in obvious spots (e.g., on a bookshelf) to spark curiosity.

Playtime:

• After collecting eggs, gather everyone to open them one by one—let the dares and stories unfold!
• Pro Tip: Balance silly and sincere questions to suit your group’s vibe (great for icebreakers at work events or college reunions).

Easter Egg Confetti Fight

What You’ll Need:

• Plastic Eggs: Fill with biodegradable tissue paper confetti or shiny mylar flakes (avoid glitter for easy cleanup).
• Teams: Split into 2-4 groups (e.g., “Bunny Brigade” vs. “Eggsplosive Elves”).
• Arena: A large outdoor space (backyard, park) or well-ventilated indoor area (remove fragile decor first!).

How to Play:

1. Arm Your Team: Each player gets 5-10 confetti-filled eggs.
2. Battle Rules:
   • On “GO,” teams throw eggs at opponents to “splatter” them with confetti.
   • Award points for hits (e.g., headshot = 2 points, torso = 1 point).
   • Winning Prize: A trophy (or silly hats) for the team with the most points—or the messiest members!

Cash Easter Egg Hunt

Two Ways to Play:

1. Real Cash (Small Bills/Coins):
   • Fill eggs with $1, $5, or coins. Hide a few “jackpot eggs” with $20 for extra excitement.
   • Ideal For: Adult-only gatherings (office parties, poker nights).
2. Fake Money or Vouchers:
   • Use play money or “prize vouchers” (e.g., “Redeem for a coffee date”) for family-friendly fun.
   • Perfect For: Mixed-age groups (let kids exchange fake cash for candy).

Setup Tips:

• Label Clearly: Mark cash eggs with a gold star or unique color to avoid confusion.
• Fairness First: Hide at least 1-2 eggs per person to ensure everyone finds a prize.
• Bonus: Add a “mystery egg” with a clue to a hidden grand prize (e.g., a gift card hidden in the garden).

Lantern Easter Egg Hunt

What You’ll Need:

• Illuminated Eggs: Stuff plastic eggs with battery-powered tea lights (LED candles work best for safety).
• Lanterns & Decor: Hang paper lanterns or string lights to guide the way.
• Hiding Spots: Trees, flower beds, or indoor shelves—highlight spots with subtle glow.

How to Create Magic:

1. Timing: Start as the sun sets for a soft, glowing atmosphere.
2. Hunt & Display:
   • Guests collect eggs and gather to “light up” the area with their finds.
   • Create a central display (e.g., a decorative bowl or lantern cluster) for all eggs to shine together.
