Scavenger Hunts
We've listed a variety of fun scavenger hunts that are perfect for a teenage birthday party.  Traditional neighborhood scavenger hunts along with photo and video hunts. The Bigger and Better Scavenger Hunt is a big hit with teenagers - groups start with a small item ( a penny or paperclip) and trade it up to see which group comes back with the best item. (One group started with a penny and came back with a TV!)  Great party idea for teenagers! Directions and set up instructions are included for each scavenger hunt.

Teen Mystery Dinner 
Crazy and fun! The teens are served a crazy dinner - and the fun is they don't know exactly what they are ordering until it comes out of the kitchen. By the third round they have started to figure out the clues and finally get something to eat. Sample menus and complete instructions for a mystery dinner party.


Teen Hotel Shopping Stay 
Choose a large hotel that is next to, adjacent or very close to a large shopping mall.  Give the teenage girls, usually 2-3 girls plus the birthday girl, each a little money in a pretty coin purse or wallet so they can shop the mall.  Eat the birthday dinner at a restaurant inside the mall then after shopping and dinner swim in the hotel pool. 

Set up fun teenage mall scavenger hunt as a little game as the teenagers shop.  There are 8 different mall scavenger hunts complete with instructions and free item lists to print out.  Our favorite among teens is the Freebie Mall Shopping Spree ... a free list of over 40 items the teenagers can collect that are all free at the mall. One of the most popular teenage girl birthday party ideas!





Restaurant 
Take them to a nice restaurant or for more fun a Japanese steakhouse where they cook the food in front of you, or reserve a private room in a local  restaurant.
  

Teen Music Videos
Borrow several video cameras and let the kids make crazy videos of themselves dancing, singing to karaoke or just being themselves!   Edit and then make a copy for each teen birthday party guest.


Chocolate Fountain
Simple idea, but teenagers love it!   Set out long toothpicks and bowls of strawberries, marshmallows,  fruit, graham crackers, Twinkies (our favorite!), rice krispie treats or anything that can be dipped in chocolate (which is pretty much everything!)  This is fun, festive and a real treat!  Just add music and dancing. 


Pizza Party Ideas
Fun and unique games and ideas for a Teenage Pizza party!



Video game arcade
 like Dave and Buster's.  Most have party plans and let the guests eat and get game coupons for a reduced price.  Lots of fun for teens!
