Birthday plans

Emily's birthday will soon be upon us and her hope is that we have a Mantracker party. We decided that it would be quite cool to take her and her friends to K-Country to pull this off... and why not throw in a night of camping while we're at it?  Here's my game idea.

Since my thought of Mantracker is that it's a treasure hunt (trying to get to the X) while playing Hide N' Seek (not getting "tracked"), I came up with this. 

It's like a treasure hunt where they'll be given a clue which will lead them to the next and so on.  The hitch is that at each spot they will also pick up a puzzle piece.  When there are no more clues they need to put their puzzle together and flip it over where they'll find an "X marks the spot" sort of map.  When they figure out where the X is they'll find the prize.

Em would like the girls divided into teams and that may be the best plan... we've got some tweaking to do first.  Any suggestions?
