Indoor treasure hunt ideas
Good hiding spots are places they'll recognise straight away from a picture:
- Under a sofa cushion or inside a pillowcase
- On the bookshelf, tucked into a favourite book
- In the toy box, the bath or a boot by the front door
- Taped under the kitchen table
Backyard treasure hunt ideas
- Under a flower pot or behind the watering can
- In the letterbox, the shed or the treehouse
- Beside the swing, the trampoline or the garden tap
Keep outdoor cards dry by popping them in a sandwich bag if the grass is damp.
Why it works for screen-free afternoons
There's no app, no timer and no screen for them. Just paper in their hands and somewhere to run. It's a simple answer to rainy days, school holidays and "I'm bored".

Questions about hunts at home
- Does it work in a small home or apartment?
- Yes. Any spot they can recognise works, such as under a cushion, behind a door or inside a shoe. 5 stops is enough for a lovely hunt.
- Can I mix indoor and backyard spots?
- Yes. You choose the photos, so the trail can go from the kitchen to the garden shed and back again.
- Can I use it at the grandparents' house?
- Yes. Take the photos there instead. Any place works, as long as you can photograph the spots beforehand.
