Locations include a wardrobe or closet, backpack, sock drawer, fridge, bookshelf, pencil case, pillow, TV, shower, toy box and under a bed.

Designed for children to enjoy with a grown-up. Parents select the clues, choose the hiding spots, set up and supervise the hunt, so you stay in control of where the adventure goes.
Every home or hotel room is different, so choose only safe, suitable and accessible locations for the child taking part.

Turn a birthday into an adventure
Instead of a pile of gifts opened in seconds, your child follows clues around the house, cracking codes and solving puzzles, with a wrapped gift or treat waiting at each stop.
