Printable Scavenger Hunt Clues, Written for Your Home

A free list of clues works until clue four says "look in the dryer" and you do not own one. These clues are written after you tell us your hiding spots, and they come as ten illustrated cards, not as a list you cut into strips.

Create my clue cards. Free preview, then print at home for $29.99.

How these differ from a free clue list

Each clue points to a spot you named, so there is nothing to cross out or rewrite.
The clues already form a chain: every card leads to the next and the last one to the treasure.
Every card has an illustration of the hiding spot and the theme character on it.
A parent sheet lists which card to hide where, plus all the answers.

Sample clues you are welcome to use

Mailbox: Percy flew out where the letters land, check the mailbox and reach in a hand!
Bookshelf: Percy perched high where the stories sleep, the bookshelf has a clue to keep!
Kitchen drawer: Percy heard spoons go clink and clank, slide open the drawer, there is a clue to thank!

From your spots to printed cards

List where clues can hide. Enter the child's name and age, pick a theme, and name your hiding spots. Pirate Adventure is preselected.
Read two clues for free. The preview shows two of your spots as finished cards. The clue text can still change when you finish the route.
Print the full set. After payment we build the PDF with all ten cards, the letter tokens and the parent sheet, and email it to you.

If you only need a few free clues

Then you do not need us. Copy the three samples above, or use the longer list in our blog post on scavenger hunt clues for kids, and write the rest by hand. This page is for parents who want the whole set done and illustrated.

Common questions

Are the clues free to print?

The three samples on this page are free to copy. The personalized set of ten illustrated cards costs $29.99 after a free preview.

Can I edit the clue text myself?

No. You choose the hiding spots and the clues are written for them. The PDF itself is not editable.

Are they rhymes or riddles?

Both exist. Explorer cards have a two-line rhyme with a picture, Detective cards have a four-line riddle with a mini puzzle.

What do I see before I pay?

The theme character and two of your own hiding spots as illustrated clue cards, free and without a card. The full printable hunt is $29.99 (was $34.99).
