🔊 How do the audio files work?
The audio files come in standard .mp3 format. You can play them with any normal music player on a phone or tablet – no extra app or special software needed. Just download and press play.
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.

My son is a huge space fan — he was completely into it. The tasks were exciting and age-appropriate, and ever since then he’s been talking nonstop about Mars missions.

Awesome — the astronaut hunt was a total hit! The kids felt like real explorers in outer space.

Such a great idea! Our twins (7) just couldn’t get enough of it. We’ll definitely try another one of your scavenger hunts.

We threw a space party for my daughter’s 4th and this was the centrepiece. They were astronauts for the afternoon, racing all over the living room and hallway solving clue after clue with tin-foil helmets. 4 children took part and they were absorbed for a happy 50 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. “Best party ever,” according to my daughter — high praise indeed.

Our backyard turned into a full-on adventure playground, and the kids were unstoppable! Really well-designed clues, games, and riddles — and the story fit perfectly, too. An absolute hit.

Set this up as a half-term treat and it was a lifesaver. The children became astronauts, hunting down each clue round the house with cardboard rockets. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for around 60 minutes. I loved the mission-to-Mars storyline. Four stars as I’d have loved a final twist at the end, though honestly the children were delighted as it was. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.

We threw a space party for my son’s 5th and this was the centrepiece. We kitted everyone out with cardboard rockets and off they went around the house as astronauts. 6 of them followed the trail for a happy 50 minutes. What really stood out was the mission-to-Mars storyline. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Great mix of riddles and movement — really perfect for a kids’ birthday party. Some of the clues were a bit too easy, though. The story was pretty cute.

Great outdoor activity! The kids (8–10 years old) were super focused and had a ton of fun at the same time. I can highly recommend it.

“The astronaut scavenger hunt was a huge hit! We tweaked a few things and added some of our own ideas — worked perfectly.”
Stuart Norton (verified owner) –
This was the main activity at my daughter’s 4th space party. The kids tore around the house as astronauts, following the trail from one clue to the next. 6 of them followed the trail for around 60 minutes. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Ran this for the kids during the school holidays. The children became astronauts, hunting down each clue round the house with cardboard rockets. 5 children took part and they were absorbed for well over an hour. Would happily buy from here again.
Adrian (verified owner) –
The prep was super easy and the kids were absolutely thrilled. We had such a great time. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
Bettina (verified owner) –
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.

Ran this for the kids during the school holidays. They were astronauts for the afternoon, racing through the garden solving clue after clue with cardboard rockets. 5 children took part and they were absorbed for well over an hour. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. A grown-up reading the clues helped the little ones along nicely. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

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!
Ruby Okafor (verified owner) –
Ran this at my son’s 6th birthday and the children loved it. The children became astronauts, hunting down each clue all over the living room and hallway with cardboard rockets. All 5 children were captivated for a happy 45 minutes. A couple of clues were solved a little too quickly by the older ones, so four stars, but still great fun. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.
Liv (verified owner) –
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!

This was the main activity at my little girl’s 5th space party. The kids tore round the house as astronauts, following the trail from one clue to the next. All 4 children were captivated for well over an hour. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

The kids were thrilled — huge thanks for the amazing scavenger hunt!
