This was the main activity at my little boy’s 5th wild west party. We kitted everyone out with cowboy hats and off they went around the house as cowboys and cowgirls. All 7 children were captivated for a happy 45 minutes. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. 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.

Did this with my little girl and a few of her friends one afternoon. The children became cowboys and cowgirls, hunting down each clue all over the living room and hallway with sheriff badges. All 4 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. 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 girl — high praise indeed.

My boy went full cowboy for his 6th — hat, sheriff badge, the lot — and this treasure hunt was the centrepiece. Seven kids galloping round the yard ’rounding up’ clues for the best part of an hour. The wild west theme is spot on and the clues were pitched just right for that age. Printed it the same afternoon I bought it. Couldn’t ask for more.

Threw a Wild West-themed 6th birthday for my daughter with eight kids in cowboy hats and bandanas — this hunt was the backbone of the whole party. Old Jack Silver’s backstory had them genuinely invested, every clue felt like part of the chase. The ‘gold nuggets’ (chocolate coins in foil) for the final reveal made it feel huge. Setup was around 25 minutes including hiding stations across the garden. Honestly the best money I’ve spent on a birthday activity in ages.

Yeehaw! The Wild West Treasure Hunt was so much fun. We gave the kids cowboy hats and the whole afternoon turned into a proper western adventure. The clues were entertaining and well thought out. 100% recommend!

My son (5) had a Wild West themed party with 7 friends and they loved being little cowboys. The clues are nicely themed — bandits, gold, horses — and the kids had about an hour of solid play. A couple of the puzzles were slightly tricky for the youngest in the group but the older ones (6-7) handled them easily. Good value, would buy from this site again.

My son had a cowboy birthday party and this was the highlight! Kids were running all over the backyard yellin ‘yeehaw’ 😂 So easy to set up and the kids were entertained for way longer than I expected. 10/10

This was the main activity at my little girl’s 6th wild west party. The kids tore round the house as cowboys and cowgirls, following the trail from one clue to the next. 6 of them followed the trail for the best part of an hour. The round-up-the-clues idea was a real highlight. A grown-up reading the clues helped the little ones along nicely. I docked a star only because we needed a touch more space than expected, but it worked well in the end. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

Ran this at my son’s 5th birthday and the children loved it. The kids tore round the back yard as cowboys and cowgirls, following the trail from one clue to the next. All 4 children were captivated for well over an hour. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Set this up as a half-term treat and it was a lifesaver. The children became cowboys and cowgirls, hunting down each clue round the house with sheriff badges. All 7 children were captivated for well over an hour. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. “Best party ever,” according to my daughter — high praise indeed.

So much fun! The western theme is adorable and the clues are creative. We hid everything in the backyard and the kids played for over an hour. Already planning to use it again for my nephew.

Great concept and the kids had a wonderful time. The clue cards are beautifully designed. Setup was quick and straightforward — maybe 10-15 minutes total.

Booked this for my little boy’s 4th birthday and it went down a storm. We kitted everyone out with cowboy hats and off they went round the house as cowboys and cowgirls. 7 of them followed the trail for the best part of an hour. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. 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. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

My son is cowboy-obsessed and this was the perfect birthday activity. The kids loved searching for “gold nuggets” and solving the sheriff’s riddles. Easy setup, huge hit.

My little girl is absolutely wild west-mad, so this was the obvious choice for turning 6. We kitted everyone out with cowboy hats and off they went around the house as cowboys and cowgirls. 7 children took part and they were absorbed for about 45 minutes. I loved the spot-on wild west theme. My little girl is still talking about it weeks later.

My daughter is absolutely wild west-mad, so this was the obvious choice for turning 5. The children became cowboys and cowgirls, hunting down each clue through the garden with sheriff badges. We had 6 kids in total and it kept them busy for around 50 minutes. The round-up-the-clues idea was a real highlight. At this age I read the trickier clues out, which worked perfectly. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.
