Finally, gather all explorers and present their official certificates as they’re crowned honorary pharaohs.

🔊 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 Sunday afternoon to keep the kids entertained. The kids tore round the house as little archaeologists, following the trail from one clue to the next. We had 8 kids in total and it kept them busy for the best part of an hour. What really stood out was the decode-the-hieroglyph clues. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Got this for my son’s 10th and it kept the whole party busy. Armed with toilet-roll ‘mummy’ wraps, the little archaeologists worked their way through the garden to the final reward. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for the best part of an hour. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.

Bought this for my son’s 12th Egyptian party and it was the highlight of the day. We kitted everyone out with toilet-roll ‘mummy’ wraps and off they went all over the living room and hallway as little archaeologists. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for a happy 50 minutes. I loved the genuinely interesting Egyptian facts. Four stars as I’d have loved a final twist at the end, though honestly the children were delighted as it was. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Ran this at my daughter’s 12th birthday and the children loved it. They were little archaeologists for the afternoon, racing round the back yard solving clue after clue with toilet-roll ‘mummy’ wraps. 8 children took part and they were absorbed for about 45 minutes. I loved the decode-the-hieroglyph clues. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

Perfect for my son’s Egyptian-themed 12th — exactly what I’d hoped for. They were little archaeologists for the afternoon, racing through the garden solving clue after clue with toy scarabs. All 9 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. The genuinely interesting Egyptian facts was a real highlight. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Did this with my daughter and a few of her friends one afternoon. The kids tore around the house as little archaeologists, following the trail from one clue to the next. All 8 children were captivated for about 55 minutes. The genuinely interesting Egyptian facts was a real highlight. I docked a star only because we needed a touch more space than expected, but it worked well in the end. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Got this for my son’s 10th and it kept the whole party busy. The kids tore round the house as little archaeologists, following the trail from one clue to the next. 9 of them followed the trail for about 55 minutes. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.

This was the main activity at my daughter’s 11th Egyptian party. The children became little archaeologists, hunting down each clue through the garden with toy scarabs. We had 7 kids in total and it kept them busy for the best part of an hour. What really stood out was the decode-the-hieroglyph clues. A couple of clues were solved a little too quickly by the older ones, so four stars, but still great fun. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Ran this at my son’s 11th birthday and the children loved it. The children became little archaeologists, hunting down each clue round the back yard with toilet-roll ‘mummy’ wraps. We had 9 kids in total and it kept them busy for about 70 minutes. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. Would happily buy from here again.
