The Witch Scavenger Hunt: Pass Alvara’s Tests
Enter the enchanted world of friendly witch Alvara and her wise owl companion Morgula.

Each station is a riddle or challenge that rewards observation, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. Perfect for Halloween parties, magical birthday themes, or any occasion that needs a touch of spellbinding adventure.
What’s In Your Kit
How It Works
The story is simple: Alvara and Morgula have DELIBERATELY created a series of mysterious situations throughout the witch’s house—not to cause harm, but to discover which kids truly pay attention, think logically, and solve problems together. Kids must work through 8 stations, each presenting a new test: a hidden object, a coded message, a logic riddle, or an observation challenge. By proving they understand Alvara’s tests, they earn their apprentice certificates and gain the respect of the wise witch and her owl.

🔊 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.

Brilliant for a rainy half-term afternoon — five kids aged 6 to 8 over for a playdate, needed something to keep them occupied indoors. The witch theme isn’t spooky, it’s whimsical, which was exactly right for this age. They loved ‘brewing potions’ using food colouring and water (parental supervision recommended for that bit!). The riddles are well-paced and the kids felt proud cracking each one. Will definitely buy more from this shop.

Used this for my daughter’s 6th birthday with a little Halloween-ish twist (even though it was April!). Six girls in pointed hats, broomsticks made from sticks, and a properly spooky atmosphere in the back garden. They were enchanted from start to finish — about 60 minutes of pure magic. Lost one star because one of the riddles needed a small hint, but no real issue.

Decent witch scavenger hunt but I felt the difficulty level was slightly uneven — some clues were very easy and one was quite hard. The kids still enjoyed it, especially the spooky storyline. Good value for the price though.

We used this for a fall festival event and it was a smash hit. The witch theme is fun without being too frightening. Great clues, easy to set up, and the kids talked about it for days.

Perfect for our Halloween birthday party! The spooky-but-not-scary vibe was exactly right for ages 6-8. The kids loved mixing “potions” and finding the witch’s hidden ingredients.

Used this for our Halloween party (I know, I know, it’s January 😂) — we had an indoor party and needed something to keep the kids busy. It worked great! Only 4 stars because one of the clues didn’t quite work for our house layout but easy enough to swap out. Fun product!

Such a creative theme! My daughter and her friends had an amazing time. The puzzle cards are gorgeous and the story pulls the kids right in. Would definitely recommend.
