🔊 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.

Did this with my girl and a few of her friends one afternoon. They were firefighters and police officers for the afternoon, racing through the garden solving clue after clue with badges. We had 7 kids in total and it kept them busy for about 50 minutes. All the sirens and excitement was a real highlight. I’d have liked one or two extra stations, hence four rather than five stars, but the kids didn’t mind a bit. Would happily buy from here again.

Set this up as a half-term treat and it was a lifesaver. We kitted everyone out with badges and off they went round the house as firefighters and police officers. 9 of them followed the trail for about 45 minutes. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. “Best party ever,” according to my girl — high praise indeed.

Bought this for my son’s 8th emergency party and it was the highlight of the day. The kids tore round the house as firefighters and police officers, following the trail from one clue to the next. All 8 children were captivated for about 55 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Got this for my son’s 7th and it kept the whole party busy. Armed with toy helmets, the firefighters and police officers worked their way round the back yard to the final reward. All 10 children were captivated for well over an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. Would happily buy from here again.

Booked this for my boy’s 8th birthday and it went down a storm. They were firefighters and police officers for the afternoon, racing round the house solving clue after clue with toy helmets. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for about 55 minutes. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.
