    What is inside

    There are two hunts of 13 stops each. Indoors the clues point to places like the couch, a window, the bath, the TV and the tree, and outside they lead to the door, letterbox, a pot plant, the bike and a bucket, ending at a gift.

    Each stop has three editions of the same clue: a picture card for ages 4 to 6, a rhyming riddle for 7 to 10, and a puzzle card for 8 to 12. The puzzle edition uses 15 puzzle types, with solved cards for the host. Setup sheets list the hiding spot, a hiding tip, a tick box and the answer for all 26 stops.

    Print the A4 or US Letter PDF, or open the PowerPoint clue cards to change the wording for your own house. The plus pack zip adds the puzzle edition and cards laid out two or one to a page.

    Questions

    What ages is it for?
    Ages 4 to 12. Younger children follow the picture cards, 7 to 10 year olds read the riddles, and older kids work out the puzzle cards. All three point to the same stops.
    Can I change the clues?
    Yes. The clue cards come as an editable PowerPoint file, so you can rewrite a riddle or swap a hiding spot to suit your home before printing.
    Do I need a garden for it?
    No. The indoor hunt has 13 stops around the house on its own. The outdoor hunt is a second set of 13 you can add if you have a yard.
