Treats & Prizes
What would a treasure hunt be without any treasure? Stock up on plenty of Halloween-themed prizes to hide with this Halloween clue game. Halloween sweets always go down a treat but if you’re keen to avoid giving your kids even more sugar on Halloween, pick up a selection of small toys instead.
Good hiding places
We’ve kept our Halloween scavenger hunt clues fairly vague so that you can vary the level of difficulty of your treasure hunt for older and younger children.
Want to make your scavenger hunt more difficult for older children? Here are a few ideas:
- Choose harder hiding places for your Halloween clue search (for example, for the clue that leads to the bookshelf, you could hide the treat on a shelf but for older kids you could hide it in pages of a book)
- Set a time limit (the shorter the time limit, the more exciting the treasure hunt will be!)
- Turn down the lights to make your treasure hunt even more spooky and the clues harder to spot! A Halloween scavenger hunt in the dark!
- Take it outdoors! A Halloween treasure hunt outdoors gives you even more possibilities when it comes to hiding places.
Have fun!
