A clue must be placed at the bottom of a container which is filled with water. The treasure hunters must drink the water to empty the container so that they can get the clue.
This challenge has a good scope for variation. Obviously you should alter the quantity of water based on the number (and size!) of the hunters – one to two large glass per hunter is plenty; make sure it is something achieveable that will not make your hunters ill. You could make the challenge more difficult by changing the water for something less appetising to drink: tomato juice isn’t often popular with children, neither is water with peppermint flavouring in it.
Bear in mind one of our top treasure hunt idea tips: don’t let the hunters get stuck! If they look like they can’t finish the task then have an alternative task ready.
