🔊 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.
💡 One more tip:
This creates real adventure vibes and makes the kids proud of their mission!

Bought this for my boy’s 6th treasure hunt party and it was the highlight of the day. We kitted everyone out with nothing more than the printouts and off they went round the house as clue-hunters. 6 of them followed the trail for about 40 minutes. How quick it was to set up was a real highlight. Four stars as I’d have loved a final twist at the end, though honestly the children were delighted as it was. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.
