🔊 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.

Bought this for my son’s 10th horse party and it was the highlight of the day. We kitted everyone out with toy horses and off they went round the garden as pony lovers. All 8 children were captivated for about 70 minutes. I loved how it suited a horse-mad child. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

The tasks were varied, and the story immediately captivated the kids. Even the younger ones could join in easily. This definitely won’t be our last scavenger hunt from you!

Bought this for a family get-together and the children were thrilled. They were pony lovers for the afternoon, racing round the garden solving clue after clue with rosettes. 7 of them followed the trail for well over an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. A couple of clues were solved a little too quickly by the older ones, so four stars, but still great fun. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

Ran this at my daughter’s 10th birthday and the children loved it. The children became pony lovers, hunting down each clue round the house with toy horses. All 9 children were captivated for around 75 minutes. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

Got this for my daughter’s 9th and it kept the whole party busy. Armed with rosettes, the pony lovers worked their way around the house to the final reward. 6 of them followed the trail for a happy 50 minutes. What really stood out was the horse and pony themed clues. A couple of clues were solved a little too quickly by the older ones, so four stars, but still great fun. Would happily buy from here again.

Ran this at my son’s 10th birthday and the children loved it. They were pony lovers for the afternoon, racing round the house solving clue after clue with toy horses. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for a happy 45 minutes. 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. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Bought this for my son’s 12th horse party and it was the highlight of the day. We kitted everyone out with toy horses and off they went around the house as pony lovers. All 8 children were captivated for a happy 45 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.

What really stood out was the horse and pony themed clues. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Got this for my son’s 9th and it kept the whole party busy. They were pony lovers for the afternoon, racing all over the living room and hallway solving clue after clue with rosettes. All 9 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.
