a scavenger hunt is always fun. it involves collecting things, answering questions (ones about you- your favs, dreams, etc) & solving clues to the next spot. the starting location can be at a central spot in town & the final meeting location can be at your house. then it'll lead into your birthday party- eating & drinking & talking portion. it's a great conversation starter plus those people who are there can really get to know someone if they're on a team together.
the cost is how much you want to put into it- meaning for the items they need to get. i would recommend to have everyone bring a digital camera. they can take a picture as proof; plus you can laugh at the pictures when you all get back to the house. plus you can either do it about yourself (the typical hangout spot, favorite music store, or something that describes you: if you have red hair, find someone with red hair; if you like basketball, take a picture of a basketball game) or about a topic (like musicals, recreate the sound of music, hang off a lampost like fred astaire, etc). you can get as crazy as you want with what people should take a picture of.
i recommend having it for like an hour & half. assign points to the items (harder the higher) & which ever team has the highest total wins.
