🔊 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.

A real crowd-pleaser for my son’s magic-themed 8th. The mystical clues had the kids ‘casting spells’ and solving puzzles to reveal the next location — seven of them captivated for over an hour. The difficulty was spot on for that age. Quick to download and print, and the kids genuinely felt like little wizards. We’ll be ordering another for his sister soon.

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.

Used this on a rainy Sunday afternoon to keep the kids entertained. They were little wizards for the afternoon, racing round the house solving clue after clue with wands. 9 of them followed the trail for around 50 minutes. What really stood out was the mystical feel of the clues. Would happily buy from here again.

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.
Fatima Greco (verified owner) –
Bought this for my son’s 10th magic party and it was the highlight of the day. We kitted everyone out with cloaks and off they went around the house as little wizards. 9 of them followed the trail for about 70 minutes. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again.
Rachel T. (verified owner) –
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.
Aisha Padgett (verified owner) –
This was the main activity at my son’s 9th magic party. The kids tore round the garden as little wizards, following the trail from one clue to the next. 7 children took part and they were absorbed for around 50 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

We threw a magic party for my daughter’s 9th and this was the centrepiece. We kitted everyone out with a few ‘potions’ and off they went all over the living room and hallway as little wizards. We had 6 kids in total and it kept them busy for a happy 45 minutes. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. I docked a star only because we needed a touch more space than expected, but it worked well in the end. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

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.

This was the main activity at my daughter’s 10th magic party. They were little wizards for the afternoon, racing all over the living room and hallway solving clue after clue with wands. We had 7 kids in total and it kept them busy for well over an hour. What really stood out was the spell-casting touches. I docked a star only because we needed a touch more space than expected, but it worked well in the end. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

Got this for my son’s 11th and it kept the whole party busy. We kitted everyone out with cloaks and off they went around the house as little wizards. 6 of them followed the trail for about 55 minutes. The spell-casting touches was a real highlight. My son is still talking about it weeks later.
Joanne Radcliffe (verified owner) –
Ran this for the kids during the school holidays. The kids tore round the back yard as little wizards, following the trail from one clue to the next. 6 of them followed the trail for a happy 50 minutes. 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.

Got this for my daughter’s 9th and it kept the whole party busy. The kids tore round the back yard as little wizards, following the trail from one clue to the next. All 6 children were captivated for well over an hour. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

Ran this at my son’s 12th birthday and the children loved it. We kitted everyone out with a few ‘potions’ and off they went around the house as little wizards. We had 6 kids in total and it kept them busy for about 45 minutes. I loved the mystical feel of the clues. My son is still talking about it weeks later.

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 (verified owner) –
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

Super well designed! The riddles were exciting but never too hard. We played it in the backyard and it worked perfectly!

Bought this for a family get-together and the children were thrilled. They were little wizards for the afternoon, racing round the back yard solving clue after clue with a few ‘potions’. All 8 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

The kids were hooked from the very beginning. They had to collect ingredients for magic potions, practice spells, and solve riddles. A truly magical afternoon!
