Put the tricks back into Trick or Treat. Instead of simply handing over the treats, this kit turns your home into a Halloween treasure hunt where children solve a series of Halloween clues around your home — with every solved puzzle leading to a hidden treat.
Designed for ages 7–10, the hunt includes a mix of quick wins and trickier puzzles and can be played by one child, siblings, a small group or party.

- Parent notes with every answer, hiding location and hint

How does the hunt work?
Choose as many clue cards as you like, then hide a small wrapped treat at each matching location. Hand over the Halloween introduction letter and let the children solve the tricks to find the treats.
The clues do not need to be hidden or completed in a set order. Most parents hand over the whole pack at once, but you can give the cards one at a time if you prefer.
Example hiding locations include behind a cushion, in a coat pocket, under a pillow, in the laundry basket or sock drawer, under a table, on a bookshelf, where pasta is kept and in or under a desk. Simply skip any location that does not suit your home.
Use as many or as few clues as you like to make the hunt shorter or longer. Setup takes under 10 minutes, and the hunt typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of clues and the children taking part.
Who is it perfect for?
• Halloween at home
• Before trick-or-treating, or as an at-home alternative
• One child, siblings or a small group
• Halloween parties
• Rainy Halloween afternoons
• Making a small pile of sweets feel like a much bigger event
What do I need to prepare?
You’ll need access to a printer (at home or through a print shop), regular paper or card, scissors, a pen or pencil, and your own small wrapped treats or surprises. Allow approximately 10–15 treats, depending on how many clues you choose and how many children are taking part. Adult setup is required before the hunt begins.

Safety information
This hunt is designed for children to enjoy with a grown-up. An adult should select the clues, choose the hiding spots, set up and supervise the hunt.
Every home and child is different, so please choose only safe, suitable and accessible locations. Keep treats appropriate for the children taking part and consider any allergies, dietary needs or choking risks.
Put the tricks back into Trick or Treat
Usually it’s all treats, not so many tricks, right? But this year something has gone wrong with Halloween magic.
The treats have disappeared… and in their place, only the tricks remain. To break the curse, children must solve the tricks and find the hidden treats before the moon rises. Good luck!

Why I created this
"Mummy, what even is the trick in trick or treat?
That became the starting point for this hunt and my kids helped write it."
