Halloween Birthday Scavenger Hunt

October birthdays share the week with Halloween. Preview the hunt free and print tonight.

An October birthday usually shares the week with Halloween. The costumes may already be sorted. What is missing is a short path of clue cards the kids can follow through the house you already have. The closest fit is the mystery detective hunt: Milo, a fox in a checkered cap, leads ten cards from room to room. If your child would rather sail to a chest or follow a jungle trail, those hunts print the same night. Preview the cards free before you pay.

Sample clue flavor

Front door

The night starts at the tall front door. Look down low, beside the mat.

Coat hook

A cape or coat hangs in this spot. The next card hides behind the cloth.

Couch

Soft cushions make a hiding den. Check underneath, then read again.

Kitchen counter

A flashlight waits beside the fruit. The following card is right there too.

Hiding spots for Halloween night

Preview the pirate hunt. Percy the parrot, bandana and eye patch. A night voyage to a chest, and a bandana is enough of a costume.

Preview the jungle hunt. Coco the monkey in an explorer hat. A trail through the house. Stuffed animals can stand in, and a backyard is optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need Halloween costumes?

No. The cards are the activity. A paper bat, an orange bowl, or a flashlight at the start is plenty. Pirate can use a bandana. Jungle can use stuffed animals you already own.

Which hunt should we preview first?

Mystery detective, if the night feels like a case. Pirate if they want a chest. Jungle if they want a trail. You can switch on the next screen before you look at the cards.

Where do the cards go on Halloween night?

Indoors, with the lights on. Keep spots low enough for the youngest guest. Skip a dark yard. The porch is fine only when the light is already on.

Is the mystery theme the same as the harder clue style?

They share a word by coincidence. Mystery detective is the hunt (Milo the fox). The harder clue style is a riddle and a mini puzzle, and you can still pick the picture-and-rhyme set for a younger child.

How does the preview and pricing work?

Preview your theme character and two personalized hiding-spot illustrations for free, with sample clue text. The final PDF arranges the artwork along your route. The full hunt, 10 stops plus a cover and a treasure card, is $29.99 (was $34.99) and prints as a PDF on Letter or A4 paper.
