Less screens. More Fun.

$9.95 AUD, one-off · Print at home · No apps, no screens
Off they go.
Need something fun to do together?
Screens are easy. They're also the quickest way for an afternoon to disappear. Clue Quest gives you the other option: an hour of running around the house, laughing, searching and finding — with you in the middle of it.
An ordinary afternoon can become an adventure.
How it works
Four steps. That's the whole thing.
Step 1
Upload your photos
The sofa, the shed, the toy box, grandad's chair — wherever you'd like them to look.
Step 2
We create their clues
Each photo comes back illustrated, like a page torn from an old explorer's notebook.
Step 3
Hide them around home
Print the clue cards, cut them out, follow your guide and tuck each one in its spot.
Step 4
Let the adventure begin
Hand over the first clue and watch them go. The last one leads to the treasure.
Your photos become their adventure.
Not a generic printable treasure hunt
Every clue is drawn from a photo of somewhere they already know. The treehouse out the back. The bookshelf in the hall. Their own front door. There's no reading required — they simply recognise the place and run to it.
That moment of "I know where that is!" is the whole game.
Less scrolling. More searching.
No app to download. No account for them. No timers, points or notifications. Just paper in their hands and somewhere to run.
- Five minutes of setup. A magical adventure for them.
- Works indoors on a rainy day or right around the garden.
- Good for one child, or a whole pack of cousins.
Good for a day like this

What you get
A set of clue cards ready to print and cut out, and a simple guide for you showing exactly where each one goes — with an X on your own photo so you can't get muddled.
Pop a little prize at the end: a chocolate coin, a note, or a small wooden box of treasure.

Questions parents ask
- What is Clue Quest?
- Clue Quest makes personalised treasure hunts for kids. You upload photos of places around your home or garden, and we turn each one into an illustrated clue card. You print the cards, hide them, and your child follows them to the treasure.
- How does a personalised treasure hunt work?
- Each clue card shows a picture of a place your child already knows, like the sofa or the shed, with an X marking the hiding spot. They recognise the place, run to it and find the next card. The last card leads to the treasure.
- What ages is it suitable for?
- Clue Quest suits children aged about 3 to 10. The clues are pictures, so no reading is needed. Older children and grown-ups enjoy it too.
- Can I use it for a birthday?
- Yes. It works well on a birthday morning or at a party. Hide the birthday present or party bags at the final spot.
- Can I use it indoors?
- Yes. You can set it up entirely indoors for a rainy day, in the backyard or garden, or across both.
- What do I need?
- A phone or camera to take photos, a printer, scissors, and a small treasure for the end, such as a chocolate coin or a note.
- How many photos do I upload?
- Between 5 and 15 photos. Each photo becomes one clue card and one stop on the hunt.
- How much does it cost?
- $9.95 AUD for one treasure hunt.
- Is it a subscription?
- No. It's a one-off payment for one hunt. If you'd like another hunt later, you can buy another one.
- How do I receive the finished hunt?
- When you finish, you download a printable pack: your clue cards and a parent guide showing where to hide each one. It's saved in your account so you can download it again any time.
