The astronaut scavenger hunt was exactly what we needed for our birthday party! The space story lit up their eyes right from the start — the moment they got the first clue, they were fully on their mission. The riddles were clever and perfectly matched to the age group (we had a mixed bunch from 6 to 9). You should plan a little prep time, but the materials are so well put together that you never feel lost.
All in all: an awesome treasure hunt — definitely not the last time we’ll be doing it.

Pure excitement!! We did the astronaut treasure hunt for our son’s 5th birthday and he was totally thrilled. The stations are varied and beautifully designed. We used the 4–6 age version. We’ll definitely try more scavenger hunts. Absolutely worth buying!

The treasure hunt was amazing — our kids (6, 7, and 9 years old) had an absolute blast! We especially loved that there are two versions in the download. That way we could simplify things a bit for the younger ones. The design is super cute and really high quality.
But: you definitely need a color printer — the beautiful artwork just doesn’t shine in black and white. And the prep takes a bit of time — cutting, gluing, planning hiding spots — but it’s totally worth it!
