🔊 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.

Used this on a rainy weekend afternoon to keep the kids entertained. We kitted everyone out with cardboard rockets and off they went around the house as astronauts. 4 children took part and they were absorbed for the best part of an hour. I loved the space facts tucked into the clues. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

We did the treasure hunt with seven kids (5–8) at a birthday party — a total success! The story was great, the kids were super excited, and the grand finale with the treasure chest was the highlight.

Ran this at my little girl’s 6th birthday and the children loved it. The children became astronauts, hunting down each clue around the house with tin-foil helmets. 7 of them followed the trail for a happy 50 minutes. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

Ran this at my daughter’s 4th birthday and the children loved it. Armed with tin-foil helmets, the astronauts worked their way all over the living room and hallway to the final reward. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for a happy 50 minutes. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again.

Pulled this out for a playdate and it more than did the job. Armed with cardboard rockets, the astronauts worked their way round the garden to the final reward. All 5 children were captivated for around 75 minutes. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. A grown-up reading the clues helped the little ones along nicely. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

Booked this for my little boy’s 5th birthday and it went down a storm. We kitted everyone out with tin-foil helmets and off they went through the garden as astronauts. All 4 children were captivated for about 45 minutes. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. At this age I read the trickier clues out, which worked perfectly. Would happily buy from here again.

Bought this for my little boy’s 4th space party and it was the highlight of the day. They were astronauts for the afternoon, racing all over the living room and hallway solving clue after clue with cardboard rockets. All 5 children were captivated for well over an hour. What really stood out was the mission-to-Mars storyline. At this age I read the trickier clues out, which worked perfectly. Would happily buy from here again.

This was the main activity at my little girl’s 5th space party. The kids tore all over the living room and hallway as astronauts, following the trail from one clue to the next. We had 5 kids in total and it kept them busy for the best part of an hour. “Best party ever,” according to my little girl — high praise indeed.

Got this for my son’s 4th and it kept the whole party busy. The kids tore round the garden as astronauts, following the trail from one clue to the next. 7 children took part and they were absorbed for well over an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. A grown-up reading the clues helped the little ones along nicely. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Booked this for my little boy’s 5th birthday and it went down a storm. They were astronauts for the afternoon, racing round the back yard solving clue after clue with tin-foil helmets. We had 7 kids in total and it kept them busy for about 45 minutes. What really stood out was the space facts tucked into the clues. My little boy is still talking about it weeks later.
