🔊 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.

Set this up as a half-term treat and it was a lifesaver. Armed with medals, the athletes worked their way all over the living room and hallway to the final reward. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for the best part of an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Ran this at a sports-themed birthday and paired it with a few garden games. The clues sent the kids dashing between ‘events’ which kept the energy high — nine children, roughly an hour. Worked well across a range of ages from 7 to 10. I docked a star only because we needed a bit more space than I expected, but out in the garden it was great fun.

Booked this for my daughter’s 10th birthday and it went down a storm. They were athletes for the afternoon, racing through the garden solving clue after clue with a torch. 9 children took part and they were absorbed for the best part of an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

Bought this for a family get-together and the children were thrilled. The kids tore round the back yard as athletes, following the trail from one clue to the next. 7 of them followed the trail for about 70 minutes. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. “Best party ever,” according to my daughter — high praise indeed.

Ran this at my son’s 9th birthday and the children loved it. Armed with a torch, the athletes worked their way round the back yard to the final reward. 9 of them followed the trail for well over an hour. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. Would happily buy from here again.

We threw a Olympic party for my son’s 10th and this was the centrepiece. The kids tore through the garden as athletes, following the trail from one clue to the next. 7 of them followed the trail for around 75 minutes. 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. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

Got this for my daughter’s 11th and it kept the whole party busy. The children became athletes, hunting down each clue round the back yard with a torch. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for about 55 minutes. I loved how it kept the energy high. The wording on one or two clues was a little advanced, hence four stars, but nothing a quick hint didn’t fix. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Ran this at my daughter’s 10th birthday and the children loved it. Armed with medals, the athletes worked their way round the garden to the final reward. We had 6 kids in total and it kept them busy for well over an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. I’d have liked one or two extra stations, hence four rather than five stars, but the kids didn’t mind a bit. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

We ran this as part of a sports day at my son’s 8th birthday — 12 kids divided into teams. The Olympic theme was a great hook and the puzzle/sport combination kept the energy up the whole time. Took just over an hour and everyone got a “medal” at the end. Really clever design — keeps both the active kids and the more thoughtful ones engaged. Five stars without question.

Perfect for our Olympics viewing party!! The kids were SO into it, running around trying to find everything while we had the games on in the background. Will definitely be buying more from this shop 🏅

Booked this for my daughter’s 11th birthday and it went down a storm. The kids tore all over the living room and hallway as athletes, following the trail from one clue to the next. We had 8 kids in total and it kept them busy for around 50 minutes. I loved the dash-between-events pace. “Best party ever,” according to my daughter — high praise indeed.

Pulled this out for a playdate and it more than did the job. They were athletes for the afternoon, racing round the house solving clue after clue with a torch. All 8 children were captivated for about 70 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. Would happily buy from here again.

Armed with a torch, the athletes worked their way around the house to the final reward. 7 of them followed the trail for well over an hour. What really stood out was how it kept the energy high. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

Ran this for the kids during the school holidays. The kids tore round the house as athletes, following the trail from one clue to the next. All 9 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

We had the chance to test the Olympic Games scavenger hunt in advance – and I can absolutely recommend it! Even during the setup, you can tell how well-designed everything is: At every station, the kids experience a new discipline – sometimes sporty, sometimes tricky, but always full of fun.
What we loved most was the mix of movement and thinking: they needed brainpower for the labyrinth, speed for the relay race, and they showed real knowledge in the gods’ riddles.
The best part: no child felt left out, because every station is designed around teamwork and fairness.
For groups, school classes, or birthday parties with several children: an absolute must-try!
