I can't begin to tell you how many parties (ours) and many friends have included scavenger hunts because of the program! I can't believe how much use (and fun) I've received from just one purchase. Really, one of the best on-line, leap of faith purchases I've ever made. I love how it keeps be up-dated and improved as well. Nothing bad to say! Super product!

We went on a big family camp out this Summer with lots of kids at different age levels. I was able to create a scavenger hunt for the kids that were under 5 years old AND the kids that were 10-12 years old so that all could have the right level of challenge. It was a big hit!

You made it so easy for me to set up the scavenger hunt with the riddles. Everyone had so much fun and thought I was so clever how I came up with it. :-) LOL..... I told my family that they needed to thank Riddle Me.  So thank you Riddle Me from my entire family.
-Donna L.

We purchased this for my daughters birthday party because she really wanted to do a scavenger hunt but just couldn't come up with clues. After a search on the internet I found Riddle Me.  It is so easy and it looks great when we print it.  My daughter is so excited and it saved me hours of work.

Scavenger Hunt Ideas for Games

1) Mommies Helpers

  1. Using the home inventory, select locations you would like cleaned. Then give each child a clue to one of the locations. Have them find the location, clean it and return for another clue.

  2. Using the service scavenger hunt, create a list of "services" for each child (or make your own).

  3. Give each child their list and time them to see how quickly they can finish their list.

2) Emergency!

Divide into teams - one adult per team. Create a list from the safety scavenger hunt list on Riddle Me for each group. On your mark, get set, Go. See who can find the items on their list the fastest. Have the adult check it off as they go. Who can get them all in twenty minutes? Can you do it in ten minutes?

3) My Favorite Things

Make a treasure hunt out of the birthday child's favorite things. Create a list from Riddle Me's scavenger hunt idea list. For example, they may have to find a soccer ball, a sea shell, and a movie with a horse. Then give each child the list of the items and see how quickly everyone can find them.

4) Something?

Make a scavenger hunt to find "somethings." Make a list of items from the Riddle Me scavenger hunt collection that begin with "something." For example, you could choose "something that makes a sound," "something that is 2 inches," or "something with holes." Give each person a list and a time limit. Once everyone returns, have fun comparing each persons selections of "somethings."

5) Nature Detectives

Make a fun game of Nature Detectives by creating a list from Riddle Me's scavenger hunt nature collection. Have all the children be detectives looking for the items which could be a certain rock, a flower or animal. Once you find each item, you could help the children learn one thing special about it.

6) Where In Your Neighborhood?

Learn more about your neighborhood with this fun game. Divide into groups. Each group will be given a digital camera and a scavenger hunt list. Make the list of locations in your neighborhood from Riddle Me's scavenger hunt digital collection. Give them a time to return and see how many they can find. You will be able to check on their cameras when they return. Did everyone get the same thing?

7) What Am I Thinking About?

The children have to figure out how several items are related to figure out what you are thinking about.

Select several items from the Riddle Me scavenger hunt list. Have the children find those items and then guess what your thinking about.

For example, if you choose the items alarm clock, book, pillow, night light, and toothpaste, then you could being thinking about bedtime.

8) Conceptual Photo Collage

Another great scavenger hunt idea is to make a list of conceptual photo items from Riddle Me's digital photo hunt list. (You will have to select the 12+ age group to access conceptual items. You may have to use the substitution feature to get all the items to be conceptual.) Some examples are: conceptual - permanent, conceptual -warning or conceptual - half.

Have each child take a picture of something that they think fits that concept. On their list of items have them write what they have selected so they will remember. Have the pictures printed so the children can make a collage of them. They could write near the picture what it represents. It will be fun to compare how each child thought of things differently.
