The mission (kid-friendly storyline)
Felix the Fox is worried: the forest pantry is empty. Your team becomes official woodland helpers and follows signs and tracks
from station to station. Each solved riddle reveals the next location — and another hint about what really happened.
Along the way, kids discover fun facts about forest animals and learn to look closer: footprints, sounds, leaves, and “hidden” details
become part of the game.
What do I need to prepare?
Basics: printer, paper, scissors, tape/glue, pens.
Helpful outdoors: string + clothespins/paper clips (for attaching cards) and a trash bag.
You’ll need a PDF reader (you can download Acrobat Reader
here for free).

A truly wonderful forest treasure hunt! The story about Felix the Fox is super cute. We played it in the park for a 6th birthday, and it was a total hit.

Top! I got it for my daughter’s birthday because I had no idea what to do myself. It was easy to set up and went over amazingly well. The kids were super engaged and had a great time. No stress for me — exactly how it should be.

I never would’ve thought something so simple would be such a hit! We played the treasure hunt in the woods, and the kids (5–7 years old) were super focused, motivated, and totally excited. One of them even asked when we’re doing it again.

The forest scavenger hunt was really great! Our birthday group (six kids between 5 and 7) immediately asked if we could do it again. I was a bit unsure about the prep at first, but it was actually super relaxed.

Lovely treasure hunt with a few small areas for improvement
The forest treasure hunt was a big success! The kids had so much fun, and the story really drew them in. A few of the riddles were a bit tricky for our youngest (4 years old), but with a little help it worked out fine. It would be great to have an option with extra tasks for older kids, though. Other than that, really fantastic!

I’m not a crafty mom, so I was really happy that this scavenger hunt was so easy to set up! Just print everything, cut it out, hide it — and you’re good to go. The kids solved the riddles with so much joy and were super proud when they finally found the “treasure.” A totally successful little adventure!

We did the forest treasure hunt on a little outing with the kids (5–9 years old), and they absolutely loved it! The riddles are fun and not too hard, so everyone could join in. What I especially liked is that the hunt includes lots of movement and activity. We’ll definitely play it again!

The mix of riddles, movement, and nature is really well done. The tasks are creative and encourage teamwork. My tip: pick a nice route beforehand and everything will run smoothly. A real highlight in the woods!

My niece is a huge unicorn fan, so this scavenger hunt was the perfect gift for her. She and her friends were totally thrilled and really dove into the adventure.
