Could you dig up a small patch of "real estate" in that front yard cemetery and bury a little locked coffin with the prize inside? You could even add a small scavenger hunt aspect... gotta make 'em work to find the shovel, right? Kinda reminds me of the end of the Addams Family movie where they all merrily went out to dig up the relatives... heh

Don't forget to have a corpsed woman in a rocking chair for guests to find. lol

I love your theme idea - it reminds me of Beetlejuice! Especially with the locked closet!!
