🔊 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.

The materials are so beautifully designed that you immediately feel like getting started. My daughter wanted a “real adventure treasure hunt” for her 9th birthday, and she wasn’t disappointed! She especially loved the combination of story and riddles.

Used this on a rainy Sunday afternoon to keep the kids entertained. Armed with animal masks, the safari explorers worked their way around the house to the final reward. 7 children took part and they were absorbed for well over an hour. What really stood out was the safari theme. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

Booked this for my son’s 5th birthday and it went down a storm. The kids tore round the house as safari explorers, following the trail from one clue to the next. We had 5 kids in total and it kept them busy for around 50 minutes. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.

Booked this for my little boy’s 6th birthday and it went down a storm. The children became safari explorers, hunting down each clue round the back yard with toy binoculars. All 6 children were captivated for well over an hour. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. A grown-up reading the clues helped the little ones along nicely. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

We threw a safari party for my little girl’s 6th and this was the centrepiece. The children became safari explorers, hunting down each clue all over the living room and hallway with toy binoculars. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for about 70 minutes. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. My little girl is still talking about it weeks later.

This was the main activity at my little boy’s 4th safari party. They were safari explorers for the afternoon, racing around the house solving clue after clue with animal masks. 6 of them followed the trail for around 60 minutes. “Best party ever,” according to my little boy — high praise indeed.

Set this up as a half-term treat and it was a lifesaver. We kitted everyone out with safari hats and off they went around the house as safari explorers. We had 6 kids in total and it kept them busy for a happy 50 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. I docked a star only because we needed a touch more space than expected, but it worked well in the end. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

Perfect for my little girl’s safari-themed 4th — exactly what I’d hoped for. The children became safari explorers, hunting down each clue round the back yard with safari hats. All 5 children were captivated for about 40 minutes. At this age I read the trickier clues out, which worked perfectly. “Best party ever,” according to my little girl — high praise indeed.

Pulled this out for a playdate and it more than did the job. They were safari explorers for the afternoon, racing round the back yard solving clue after clue with toy binoculars. 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. “Best party ever,” according to my little boy — high praise indeed.

Booked this for my little boy’s 6th birthday and it went down a storm. They were safari explorers for the afternoon, racing through the garden solving clue after clue with safari hats. 7 children took part and they were absorbed for about 50 minutes. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. I’d have liked one or two extra stations, hence four rather than five stars, but the kids didn’t mind a bit.
