2. What is the best way to play them during the scavenger hunt?
The easiest option is to download the files before the hunt starts, so you don't rely on mobile internet outdoors.
For larger groups or outdoor play, a small Bluetooth speaker helps all children hear the story clearly. The files are numbered, so you can play them in the correct order – matching each station.
3. Are they just simple read-aloud audios?
No 🙂 The audio files are designed to be narrative and lively, so the kids feel like they are inside the story. The messages are not just read aloud – they sound like small audio-drama moments at each station. This boosts attention and keeps everyone deeply engaged.

I cannot say enough good things about this!!! My son just turned 7 and is OBSESSED with anything spy-related. I printed it out the night before his birthday party (yes, last minute mom over here lol) and it came out perfectly. The clues were just the right level of challenging — the kids had to actually think but didn’t get so frustrated they gave up. His friends were SO into it. They split into two teams and were running around the house whispering to each other like actual secret agents. The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes which was perfect. Would 100% buy again for our next party!!
Leonardo –
Very cool! The scavenger hunt was a bit trickier than expected, but we absolutely loved it. The kids really got into it – they combined clues, followed tracks, and even came up with their own theories. And in the end, they were super proud of their success. Pure excitement!
Julian Mertens –
We played the spy-themed scavenger hunt for our son’s 11th birthday – with six kids aged 10 to 12. The challenges were just right: exciting but not too easy. The code puzzles and the secret message were absolute favorites. You can really tell that the game is designed for slightly older kids, because they truly have to think and figure things out. We combined the adventure between the garden and the house, which worked perfectly. The preparation takes a bit of time, but the end result was absolutely worth it.
