🔊 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.

Used this over the winter half-term to turn a dreary day into an adventure. We kitted everyone out with a few paper snowflakes and off they went around the house as children. All 9 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

Perfect for a cold, grey afternoon when the kids were climbing the walls indoors. Armed with a few paper snowflakes, the children worked their way round the garden to the final reward. 10 children took part and they were absorbed for a happy 45 minutes. Would happily buy from here again.

A lovely way to keep the children busy on a snowy day stuck inside. The children hunted down each clue all over the living room and hallway with a few paper snowflakes. All 10 children were captivated for a happy 50 minutes. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. “Best party ever,” according to my son — high praise indeed.

Used this over the winter half-term to turn a dreary day into an adventure. They spent the afternoon racing round the back yard, solving clue after clue with a few paper snowflakes. All 9 children were captivated for about 70 minutes. What really stood out was how it saved a grey indoor day. A couple of clues were solved a little too quickly by the older ones, so four stars, but still great fun. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.

My daughter is absolutely winter-mad, so this was the obvious choice for turning 7. We set them off round the house with a few paper snowflakes and they didn’t stop until the last clue. We had 6 kids in total and it kept them busy for around 60 minutes. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. Four stars as I’d have loved a final twist at the end, though honestly the children were delighted as it was. My daughter is still talking about it weeks later.

Perfect for a cold, grey afternoon when the kids were climbing the walls indoors. They spent the afternoon racing through the garden, solving clue after clue with a few paper snowflakes. All 9 children were captivated for about 45 minutes. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. I’d have liked one or two extra stations, hence four rather than five stars, but the kids didn’t mind a bit. Would happily buy from here again.
