🔊 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.

This creates real adventure vibes and makes the kids proud of their mission!

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 🏅
Rebecca Lorenz –
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!
