Treasure hunt

Pirate quest for children "Treasure Hunt"

This is an exciting search for treasure at home, in the countryside, at school and practically anywhere! It consists of ready-made tasks, games and contests for a children's quest and a real pirate party.

A set of 10 hint-cards with themed pirate tasks, a pirate letter card and a treasure map are suitable for children over 6 years old. 5-yer-olds can aslo take part, but they will need the help of an older person who can read.

The quest is neither simple nor complicated (just the right level of difficulty) – all tasks are different, and it is also interesting to pass the quest with the whole family: adults will also have something to do, and kids will not get bored.

The quest tasks are available in 2 variants: you can organize it at home, outside, or in two places at the same time.

1 child or a whole group of children can play. If there are a lot of participants, you can conduct the quest for 2 teams in parallel using the second set of cards. Then one team is looking for treasure at home, and the second does it outdoors.

Colorful cards for printing in PDF format (only 13 pages) come with detailed instructions on how to prepare the quest.

The legend behind the quest

The readymade script of the "Treasure Hunt" quest has a starting point – a letter from a pirate, from which children learn about the treasure map. The main locations of the upcoming trip are marked on the map, and the key hint is also encrypted there.

There are many different tasks aimed not only at attention and logic, but also active and fun. For one of these tasks, you will need a stool and a rope about 1 meter long; for another, a transparent salad bowl, juice and straws; and for the musical task, you will need a phone (you can use a speaker).

In the pirate's letter, in addition to the text, there is a QR code with a link to his video message to the young sailors. This impressive piece adds a sense of realism!

Look how bright and attractive our printed materials are. They look good in black and white print as well:

How to organize the "Treasure Hunt" quest

To have some real fun at home, you need to follow 5 simple steps:

1. Read the detailed instructions with the answers. There is a clear sequence: each previous hint indicates the place where the next one is located; you come up with several stashes yourself and write them in the table (in the appendix to the instructions).
2. Print the tasks, cut them where necessary.
3. Hide a gift, surprise or sweets in a secret place.
4. Arrange the hint cards along the chain in the right places.
5. Prepare simple props: a stool, a rope, a glass salad bowl / baking dish, juice and drinking straws according to the number of participants, a phone with the Internet (you can also use a speaker).

Secrets of preparation

1. To enjoy the game to the fullest, it is desirable that each participant gets the "treasure" in the end. Therefore, you can put small presents for all guests (key rings, cool stationery, etc.)
2. In our printed materials for the quest, you will see a file with pirate coins. They have pirate qualities written on them, which the children "earned" during the game. You can cut them out and put them into children's gifts one by one or several in any order. Then the children will compare their pirate qualities, and it will add atmosphere to the game.
3. To make it even more real, you can add chocolate coins, some trifle that makes ringing sound and a pair of grandmother's beads to the treasure.
4. Pack everything in a box (you can paint and style it as a pirate's chest, or you can decorate it with bright colored paper) or in a real chest (wooden blanks can be found in creativity stores).
