🔊 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.

Ran this for my daughter’s 8th birthday with a wizard/magic theme — wands, cloaks and a few ‘potions’. Seven children were thoroughly entertained for around 70 minutes. The clues have a nice mystical feel and the difficulty was about right for the 8-10s. One or two answers were guessed a little too quickly by the older kids, but overall a lovely themed hunt that I’d buy again.
Sarah Thompson –
We used the Magic Scavenger Hunt for my daughter’s 7th birthday and it was a huge hit. The kids felt like real wizards the whole time. My only tiny complaint is I wished there were a couple more riddles, but overall absolutely worth it.
Rachel T. –
My daughter loved the magic theme. We played it for her birthday party with 6 kids and it took about 80 minutes. The crafting parts were a little tricky for the younger ones but overall really fun. Took off one star because printing took a while but the content is great.

My daughter is going through a massive Harry Potter phase so the magic theme was right up her alley. She was so into it — put on her little witch hat and everything before we started 😄 The clues are creative and rhyme, which she loved. Took off one star because I personally would have loved a few more optional bonus clues to extend the fun, but that’s just me being greedy! Great product overall.

I ordered the scavenger hunt for ages 6–9 with audio, but the links I received after payment contained two PDFs that both said “for children ages 9–12.” Since the treasure hunt is meant for a 6-year-old, I can’t use my order at all!
Store manager Arne –
Dear Sandra,
We’re very sorry for the confusion. There was indeed a small mistake during the upload: only the cover page of the PDFs accidentally showed “9–12 years.” The tasks and content in your order are of course the correct ones and were specifically created for children aged 6–9 years.
We were a bit sad to see a one-star rating right away — a quick email would have been enough for us to clear up the misunderstanding immediately. As soon as we received your message, we replied within an hour and fixed the issue right away.
If you had taken a moment to look through the different PDFs, you would have noticed that some tasks do differ and that the version for ages 6–9 is properly adjusted for that age group.
Warm regards,
Arne
