When kids have magical holidays, it’s almost certainly because adults are hurriedly running around in the background, channeling their whole heart and soul (not to mention their budget) into making a fun experience. So why shouldn’t adults get to enjoy the fun and festive Easter traditions they create for themselves? This roundup of creative adult Easter egg hunt ideas provides over two dozen inspiring thought-starters for setting up the holiday bash of grownups’ dreams.
Our list includes a range of unique adult Easter egg hunt ideas, from PG and all-ages friendly, to PG-13 and boozy for the 21-and-up-only crowd. Fill Easter eggs with the likes of alcohol mini bottles, lottery tickets, beauty products, hand-written messages or challenges, and even cold-hard cash.
Choose from traditional hunts with a twist — like an after-hours hunt with glow-in-the-dark Easter eggs, prompts for truth-or-dare hidden inside the eggs, or even drinking games. Or try a grownup twist on the challenge, without any actual hunting required — think bocce-ball-inspired play, relay races, or other athletic competitions.
