🔊 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.

Both my daughters (9 and 11) are completely horse mad, so this was a no-brainer for the joint birthday. Eight girls, riding stable theme, and they spent close to 90 minutes solving the clues. The horse-related details are accurate enough that the older girls were impressed (which is a high bar). The atmosphere it created was lovely. Couldn’t recommend more.
Megan Collins –
My daughter is crazy about horses and this scavenger hunt made her birthday extra special. All the horse-themed clues were adorable and well-suited for kids aged 6–9. She keeps asking if we can do it again!

Rarely have I bought something that works so smoothly. Everything is logically structured, the stations flow nicely into one another, and the kids were busy the entire time. No boredom, no “I’m bored,” nothing. Really well done!

Our daughter was beaming — finally a treasure hunt completely in a horse theme! Very nicely done, with wonderful ideas all about riding and caring for horses. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish.
Michelle & Holger (verified owner) –
Well done, but a bit text-heavy at times. Still, a lovely afternoon.
Annelie & Thorsten (verified owner) –

We’ve rarely had so much fun as a family. The scavenger hunt gave all of us a wonderful afternoon.
Heike (verified owner) –
What a lovely afternoon! A great mix of movement, excitement, and teamwork.
Katrin (verified owner) –
What a wonderfully thought-out adventure! Our kids are usually quite different — the older one is calmer, while the younger one is a bit more energetic. At the beginning, they worked together beautifully and really felt like a team. Unfortunately, during one of the games they had a small argument because both wanted to be the “boss” at the same time.
Rico (verified owner) –
I did the scavenger hunt with 12 children in a school club activity. The materials are beautifully designed and the kids really loved them. With such a large group you need a bit of organization, but it was absolutely worth it. Great idea — would gladly do it again!
LJ (verified owner) –
We had 7 kids between ages 7 and 11 with us, and it’s not always easy to keep everyone engaged. But the treasure hunt made it work! The older ones could tackle the trickier riddles, and the younger ones had fun searching.

We did the scavenger hunt at our little one’s horse-themed birthday party. Everything worked out great.
Jeanne –
The riddles were easy to understand, but a bit tight for seven kids at once — next time we’ll just print a few more sheets. The prep was totally manageable, nothing overwhelming. All in all, a great success!

My daughter (7) loves horses, and this scavenger hunt was just perfect for her birthday! The story grabbed the kids right away, and the tasks were just right — not too easy, not too hard. I especially loved the sweet illustrations and how easy it was to prepare.
