Here’s a fun idea for a birthday party for a crowd old enough to have cars (or those with willing parents). You can set up a text message road rally using TextClues.
First everyone needs to start from the same location and this will be more fun in groups. Also everyone will need a cell phone – just don’t text and drive! Here we go:
