Welcome Dad, Mom, Josh, Jon, and Christi!

Thank you for being good sports and treasure hunters!

Anyway, here's how the next clue goes. 

One of you has IT, but that person MAY NOT at any time tell anyone (unless in case of emergency). 

You may now begin asking each other questions like (and not limited to the following): 
"What does IT look like?"
"Is IT red?"
"Is IT big?" 
"What shape is IT?"  etc. etc.

Each of you must pretend to have IT (whether you do or not) and answer the questions as though you have IT and know exactly what IT looks like.

For example:

Sally goes on a trip leaving a gold chain to Tom.  Tom, Dick, and Harry must all pretend that they have the gold chain, although Dick and Harry do not know that Sally left Tom with a gold chain.  For all they know, Sally could have left Tom with an elephant.  
Harry decides IT is an elephant.
Dick decides IT is a yellow cup. 
Tom knows IT is a gold chain.
Harry asks Dick and Tom, "Is IT yellow?"  They both nod.  Harry then asks Dick, "Is IT round?"  Dick nods.  Harry asks Tom, "Is IT soft?"  Tom shakes his head.  etc. etc. 

I hope you all get the idea.

At NO TIME in the treasure hunt/game may you ask directly "Do you have it?" and if that question is asked, it may NOT be answered. 

Once you have gathered all the facts, you may privately go to the person you suspect, and say, "I accuse you."  If you are wrong, then you must drop out of the game (although you may still answer questions, you are not allowed to ask any.)

Cheers,
