How To Setup An Indoor Scavenger Hunt
Setting up this indoor scavenger hunt is super easy—and totally customizable!
Since the 18 clues in this printable aren’t in any specific order, you get to decide where the adventure begins and ends.
Here’s how to get started:
- Download and Print the Clues – First, grab your free printable PDF (you’ll find it at the very bottom of this post). Print out the clue cards and cut them apart.
- Pick Your Hiding Spots – Look through the clues and match them to different spots around your home. The clues are fun and flexible, so you can hide them wherever works best for your space!
- Arrange the Clues in Your Order – Since there’s no set order, you can create the path you want the kids to follow. Want to end in the living room? Or maybe finish in the kitchen with a special treat? It’s all up to you!
- Hide the Clues – Place each clue in its hiding spot. For example, if a clue mentions something soft and fluffy, you might tuck it into a pillowcase or on the couch.
- Start the Hunt! – Hand the kids the first clue and watch the excitement unfold as they race to solve each riddle and discover the next hiding spot.
Pro Tip: If you’re playing with younger kids, you can offer little hints along the way—or even team up to solve the clues together!
That’s it! A little prep and a lot of fun. Now, let the indoor adventure begin!
