You can just increase the challenge by giving them more to look up and more challenging math to do. You can also make the clues more complex—for example, "Take the zip code of the city hall in the capital city of the 26th state admitted to the United States. I got the answer , which told me to go to the stairs. This next clue appears to be written in some sort of code. Are those dots and dashes? You can apply different codes and ciphers to disguise your clues. Even a simple clue like "Look in your sock drawer" becomes tricky when you first have to decode it.
I once printed up a copy of Egyptian hieroglyphics and used it as a code. You can use Morse code or even a telephone number pad. You can also create your own code using symbols or numbers.
For Kids: When making hunts for my children, I have used pictures of a keyboard and numbered the keys. This actually provides two clues: First, the kids have to find a keyboard in order to solve the code.
Second, they have to actually solve their individual clue. Below are a few reference sheets you can use to create different types of codes that work well for kids. Make sure to provide the kids with a copy of the reference sheet! For Adults: There are many intriguing ways to encode text that will challenge your adult clue-solvers. All of the ideas mentioned above work for adults as well, and check out the online resources below for additional types of codes. Cryptii offers a free online encoder for Caesar cipher.
It allows you to copy, paste, and print your encoded clues. Puzzled Pint is an organization that hosts puzzle nights around the world. It offers a free codesheet with nine different code types, ranging from the NATO alphabet to binary to semaphore. I cracked the code: "Go to the bookshelf.
A maze clue is like a combination of a maze and a word hunt. You give your clue-solvers a maze with letters written along every path. To solve it, they draw a line with a highlighter from the start of the maze to the exit. When they're finished, the highlighted text will spell out a secret message that tells them where to go for the next clue.
For Kids: These clues are a little more challenging, so they are probably best for kids aged 10 and up. You may want to have several copies of the maze available and several different colors of highlighter in case the kids make a mistake in the maze and need to start over.
For Adults: Grown-ups may be able to discern the message too easily without even doing the maze. It would be best to combine a maze clue with a secret code clue so that the answer isn't obvious at a glance. Festisite also has a tool for making maze clues. Click on "maze" at the left and type up your clue at the bottom. The site gives you a PDF of your maze that you can print out, like the one above.
The maze asked what was in my coat pocket, and I found this clue. Hmm, this looks like a word search. In a word search clue, the participants have to pick out a secret message from a sea of letters. It's easy to adjust the complexity of word search clues based on how many words you include, how big the grid is, and how random the extra letters are. For Kids: The word search shown above is a simple version, and it can be used with kids 10 and under.
It differs a little from a traditional word search. Here's how to do it:. For Adults: You might use a more traditional word search with adult participants and modify it to increase the challenge. For example, you can include a group of themed words in the puzzle that lead the participants to the next clue after they identify them.
Don't provide the clue-solvers with a word list in this case; they first have to find all the words, then figure them out. Another idea takes a little more effort on your part, but it's pretty easy to do with a word processing program just use a table or grid template. It's basically a reverse word search: After the clue-solvers have crossed out all the words they need to find, the leftover letters will spell out the clue.
There are many online word search generators, though they tend to generate very traditional word searches. Most will create a word list for you automatically; if you don't want to provide the participants with a list, just cut off that part of the paper before you hand out the clues!
Here are two options for word search generators:. I found a map in the plant—the final clue! Time to retrieve my loot! Finally, one of my favorite clue types: the treasure map. No other clue matches the sense of adventure that this type of clue provides, in my opinion. This clue is great to use for large-scale hunts, like neighborhood or park hunts, though it also works well for hunts in the house—or even in a single room!
To make a treasure map, draw out the hunting grounds and place a big X where the final treasure lies. As with the picture clues, you can cut up the map into multiple pieces and add them to certain clues. Once the participants solve their final clue, they can tape together the pieces of the map they have collected and make their way to their "treasure. For Kids: Keep the map simple and focus on the major landmarks.
For a map of your house or apartment, include the most identifying feature for each room a bed for the bedroom, a toilet or bath for the bathroom, etc. For a backyard map, highlight some of your particularly colorful or recognizable plants or trees to help kids orient themselves. You can map a single room by drawing the notable pieces of furniture or appliances. For Adults: Grown-ups can handle more detailed maps. If you have the time and inclination, you can even add a scale to your map so your clue-solvers can determine that the treasure is located, say, six feet west of a particular landmark.
The treasure was in the dish cupboard all along. Fake coins and gems, small toys, and candy all make fun loot ideas for kids. Little treasure chests are a great way to present the loot, especially if you're doing a pirate-themed hunt.
You don't need a theme to design a scavenger or treasure hunt, but themes are fun and can make the activity more engrossing for the participants. Here are a few common themes and what types of clues work well for each. Ye'll never find me buried treasure! Pirates are an incredibly popular theme for scavenger and treasure hunts. If it's possible to have the participants actually dig up the final reward, go for it!
You can facilitate this both outdoors and indoors. Outdoors, if you're able to dig a shallow hole and bury the reward protected in a plastic bag , that can be a lot of fun. Of course, that's not always an option.
You could also just cover it with leaves, mulch, or potting soil rather than actually digging a hole. Indoors, you could "bury" the treasure in a pile of clean clothes, towels, pillows, pet toys, fabric scraps—whatever you might have a lot of! Ye scurvy sea dogs, I say yarrrrrrr!
