How do I set up a treasure hunt?

Write the clues, then hide them backwards: the treasure first, the last clue where the one before it points, and so on. Keep clue 1 to hand out.

How many clues should there be?

Six to eight for children of 5–8 years, up to ten or twelve for older ones; the cards print four or six per page.

Easy enough to solve in a minute: “I keep food cold” for the fridge. For older children rhyme them or hide the place in a word puzzle.

A small bag of sweets, a book, stickers or the birthday present itself — and the last card says “Treasure!”.

Riddles that lead, one by one, to the treasure.
