Introduction

It's time again to party and what better way to celebrate than with a themed party? And just in case you thought it would be any old theme, think again! Our theme for this party is Indiana Jones, that bold adventurer continuously on the trail of some mystical treasure. So get your pen and paper and get ready to make some notes. But first, a little more about the man and the character, Indiana Jones.

There's one thing that Indiana Jones and Star Wars, among others, have in common: they were both created by George Lucas. The Indiana Jones films tell the stories of the adventures of Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, also known as "Indy" to his friends who is a professor at Marshall University in Connecticut (fictional).

First released in 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark is focused around the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant which is said to contain immense powers that could spell ruin in the wrong hands. And in this case, the wrong hands are those of the Nazis. Indy journeys to South America, Africa and the Far East in a bid to find the treasure first and thus save the lives of many people.

And if that wasn't action packed enough for you, then the second film will definitely be. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was released three years later, in 1984. It tells of another of Indy's exploits, this time in India where villagers believe that demons are stealing their children after one of their sacred stones disappeared. Indiana Jones has to battle Thuggee, a priest in the Temple of Doom who believes that the stones will help him take over the world.

Second to last of the Indiana Jones films is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Indy is put against the Nazis again to find the Holy Grail. As we all know, Indy saves the day and gets the girl, just like a proper hero should.

And finally we have Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In this installment Indiana has to retrieve a crystal skull that belongs to an alien race. However this time it's not the Nazis against him, but the Soviet Union. Again, Indy takes us from country to country in his quests and never fails to disappoint.

And on that note, it's time to party!

Indiana Jones Party Activities

Time to get going with some cool Indiana Jones party activities for you and your friends to enjoy. Here are a couple we thought suitable to the occasion.

Find The Relic

This is a game for as little as 4 people that will test skill and ingenuity.

First off, you and your friends have to divide in two groups and find an area large enough to play in. Then you have to decide on something to be used as a secret relic and which of the two groups will have the chance to hide it first.

Once everything is decided, it's time for fun and adventure! Each group has to set up base in an area obscured from the view of the other group. It is then the purpose of the one group to find and retrieve the relic to the best of their abilities. But be careful, it has to be done with skill and secrecy and daring maneuvers that will catch the other team off guard.

Add a little bit of spice to the game by equipping yourselves with squirt guns and water balloons.

Indy Safe

This game will require a rather large area with a number of safe hiding places and lots of running space.

One participant has to be selected as Indy and everyone else has to be equipped with squirt guns and/or water balloons. Now, everyone, including Indy has to go into hiding while someone else (like someone's parent) counts to 100. As soon as 100 is reached, everyone has to start looking for Indy. But be careful! If someone else looking for Indy sees you, then they are allowed to use their squirt guns or water balloons to eliminate you from the current round.

If someone finds Indy, then they are safe and can't be eliminated. The game ends when everyone has found Indy. The first person to be eliminated is Indy for the next round. Just note that Indy isn't allowed to have a squirt gun or a water balloon.

Rescue Indy

All participants should divide into two teams and move to an area where they can run freely. The particular area should then be divided into two parts, one for each team. Now, each team will also have to nominate an Indy who will be the prisoner of the other team and is held in a prison area at the back of the other team's territory.

One person from each team has to try and run through the other team's territory without being caught to get to the prisoner. Once the prison has been reached, both Indy and the rescuer are safe. They then have to devise a way to get back to their territory without being caught. If they get caught, both of them are Indy and have to wait for someone else to come and rescue them.
