🔊 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.

Got this for my daughter’s 8th and it kept the whole party busy. They were firefighters and police officers for the afternoon, racing round the back yard solving clue after clue with badges. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for around 50 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. A couple of clues were solved a little too quickly by the older ones, so four stars, but still great fun. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

My son wanted an ’emergency services’ party and this was perfect. The kids became firefighters and police officers on a mission, racing to solve each clue — lots of sirens and excitement. Eight children, around 55 minutes. The theme is brilliantly done and held their attention from start to finish. Printed at home with no fuss. Top marks.

Bought this for my boy’s 6th emergency party and it was the highlight of the day. The kids tore round the back yard as firefighters and police officers, following the trail from one clue to the next. We had 8 kids in total and it kept them busy for well over an hour. “Best party ever,” according to my boy — high praise indeed.

Bought this for my boy’s 9th emergency party and it was the highlight of the day. Armed with toy helmets, the firefighters and police officers worked their way round the house to the final reward. 10 of them followed the trail for the best part of an hour. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. Four stars as I’d have loved a final twist at the end, though honestly the children were delighted as it was. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Bought this for my 5-year-old who is obsessed with anything emergency-services. He absolutely loved running around “on duty” with his toy fire truck. The mix of firefighter and police elements works really well. About 50 minutes of play with 6 kids. Would have liked one or two more clues to make it stretch a bit longer, but otherwise lovely.
Bilal Khan (verified owner) –
My son is absolutely emergency-mad, so this was the obvious choice for turning 7. Armed with badges, the firefighters and police officers worked their way all over the living room and hallway to the final reward. 9 children took part and they were absorbed for about 40 minutes. All the sirens and excitement was a real highlight. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.

Bought this for my girl’s 7th emergency party and it was the highlight of the day. We kitted everyone out with badges and off they went round the back yard as firefighters and police officers. 9 of them followed the trail for the best part of an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. I’d have liked one or two extra stations, hence four rather than five stars, but the kids didn’t mind a bit. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

My girl is absolutely emergency-mad, so this was the obvious choice for turning 7. We kitted everyone out with badges and off they went through the garden as firefighters and police officers. We had 8 kids in total and it kept them busy for around 75 minutes. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. The wording on one or two clues was a little advanced, hence four stars, but nothing a quick hint didn’t fix. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

We threw a emergency party for my boy’s 9th and this was the centrepiece. Armed with badges, the firefighters and police officers worked their way round the house to the final reward. We had 6 kids in total and it kept them busy for about 45 minutes. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Booked this for my son’s 9th birthday and it went down a storm. The children became firefighters and police officers, hunting down each clue around the house with toy helmets. All 6 children were captivated for around 75 minutes. What really stood out was all the sirens and excitement. Would happily buy from here again.

A total success! Our backyard turned into an emergency scene, and the kids were thrilled—putting out fires, searching for clues, and saving the city. Super well-designed, easy to set up, and packed with action. Simply brilliant!
Gudrun Wolfgang (verified owner) –
Really exciting! The kids became little helpers, put out (pretend) fires, and even caught a robber. The atmosphere was amazing.

Our twins (6) immediately asked when we’re doing the next one. That says it all.

The story was lovely, though it could have had a bit more excitement. Still, a clear recommendation!

Finally something different! Instead of just going for a walk, we had a real mission. The tasks were well thought out — not too easy, but not too hard either. There were six of us, which was the perfect group size.
