SURVIVOR PARTY IDEAS

Close your eyes and imagine being stranded on this lush tropical island...with the sun on your face, the wind in your hair, refreshing waterfalls, crystal clear lagoons, the call of exotic birds...and the sound of chanting natives and drumbeats far in the distance. Sounds like a place you wouldn't want to leave, right? Well, this island is not a friendly island! It's inhabited by cannibals and danger...and your mission is to find a way to survive until help arrives.

As your guests arrive, light their way to your island with these Silk Flower Lights or Floral Tropical Torch and greet each person with a Tropical Flower Leis. Your island guests begin their adventure with a clue, which contains a test they must pass before going on to the next clue. The ultimate goal is to find the Treasure Chest filled with Gold Coins they can use to reflect the sunlight to signal a rescue party. Once your guests have arrived and been greeted, the "Island Leader" will give them a clue to get their journey started. Once they complete the task provided in the clue the "Island Leader" will give them the next one, until the Treasure Chest Pinata has been opened.

Your deserted island can easily be transformed by hanging Tropical Lights and Tropical Parasols. Drape Natural Fish Netting for a nautical look. You can hang Assorted Plastic Fish in the fish netting and Tiki Lantern Garland, along with the Paradise Lanterns.  Place Flamingo Balloons around the room. Don't forget to place Inflatable Palm Trees and Pineapple Candles around the room and outside. Never underestimate the power of decorating with Flip Flop Balloons, as they can transform any room into a festive space in minutes at a very low cost.

Make sure the "Island Leader" has the proper dress Adult Flower Lei Set with Flower Trimmed Beach Hat , Green Hula Skirt and Flower Bikini Topp or Tropical Bandanas.

Clue #1

Welcome to this small paradise island. You will remain here until a rescue party comes for you. They have discovered your are missing and are out searching for you at this moment. However, until they arrive your survival depends upon your endurance and your ability to follow directions. You are in search of a special treasure chest with gold to help you reflect sunlight to signal your rescue party should they come close to this island. Your first test is to make appropriate clothing to wear on this island.

Test #1

The object is for each child to make his/her very own grass skirt....yes, even the boys (and don't forget to take pictures, they will want these later in life)!

Have lengths of string and strips of laying in a pile. You can prepare these ahead of time by cutting string in lengths big enough to go around your guests' waists, leaving enough left over to tie. Cut the crepe streamers long enough so that your guests can fold them in half over the string to make a skirt. You can add to you guests' attire by providing each one with a Green Leaf Leis or Silk Flower Headband

Clue #2

Welcome Islanders! You have followed instructions well, and I'm sure you will reach your destination. But first, you must undergo a test of endurance which you must not fail. Make your way to the Waterfall or use this Beach Scene Setter

Test #2

Tropical Garland to a tree so that they hang down and give the effect of a waterfall.

Place a bag of marbles in a tin tub. You may need several tubs if you have a large group. Fill half way with water and then fill with ice cubes. The object is to see how many marbles your guests can remove using only their feet.t.

Clue #3

You all pass the test of endurance...but can you pass the test of strength? Proceed to ground that is dried and hard from volcanic rock (a place where there is cement). Now you must pass the test of strength.

Test #3

The object is to knock over bowling pins using a real coconut instead of a bowling ball. To get the bowling pins, you can purchase a plastic bowling game or simply make your own by pouring a small amount of water into 2-litre bottles.

Clue #4

You must be hungry from your journey so far. You must find the hunting grounds and search for the hut where the food is stored. (This will be inside or out, wherever you have set up the food.) It is time to relax and get some relief from your long journey.

Test #4

Tiki Leave Bowls or Palm Tree Trays. Serve your gests lava juice in their very own Tiki Goblet. Decorate the table with a Coconut Band or Tiki Pinata and if you make a buffet table, place this Light Up Table Skirt around it for an island look. Now for some menu suggestions!

Clue #5

Rumors are the cannibals know you are near. They have started a campfire...and the campfire just might be their cooking pot! But wait...I think I hear their drumbeats in the distance. Quickly, we must go to the next challenge of endurance. You must journey to the Scaramunga village where its inhabitants will teach you a new celebration dance.

Test #5

Have a Bamboo Limbo Kit set up. This will be the last test before the treasure chest is found. Whoever limbos the lowest will be the first person to try and break the treasure chest.  Don't for get the Hula Party Music to set the mood.

Clue #6

Congratulations! You are almost at the end of your search for the lost treasure. You are very close now. Your treasure will be found at the_________________________. You will need to fill this part in.

The treasure is the Treasure Chest Pinata or Tiki Pinata filled with bags of  Gold Coins, Treasure Toys and Candy Assortment. Keep out of sight until the end and then placed somewhere where your guests must find it. Let the winner of the limbo have first swing at it (blindfolded of course) and proceed with each child until someone breaks it open.

 
Pirates Treasure

Time this so that the parents (the rescue party) arrive to rescue them shortly after the piñata is broken.

Send each person home with lots of island goodies:
Foam Visors, Tiki Cups, Flip Flop Coasters, Seashells, Luau Sunglasses, Mini Maracas, Flip Flop Rings, Luau Wrist Bands

Aloha!
