🔊 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.

We threw a safari party for my little girl’s 6th and this was the centrepiece. They were safari explorers for the afternoon, racing round the house solving clue after clue with safari hats. 7 children took part and they were absorbed for the best part of an hour. The lovely illustrations was a real highlight. “Best party ever,” according to my little girl — high praise indeed.

This was the main activity at my daughter’s 5th safari party. The children became safari explorers, hunting down each clue round the garden with animal masks. 7 of them followed the trail for about 55 minutes. A grown-up reading the clues helped the little ones along nicely. The wording on one or two clues was a little advanced, hence four stars, but nothing a quick hint didn’t fix.

Ran this at my little boy’s 4th birthday and the children loved it. We kitted everyone out with safari hats and off they went through the garden as safari explorers. All 5 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. My little boy is still talking about it weeks later.

They were safari explorers for the afternoon, racing through the garden solving clue after clue with safari hats. 6 of them followed the trail for about 55 minutes. I loved the lovely illustrations. “Best party ever,” according to my daughter — high praise indeed.
