A clue hunt ready to go in 15 minutes: print, cut, hide and play. The riddles lead to places found at almost any camp or lodge (the dining hall, the water fountain, the flagpole…) and are designed for kids aged 6 to 12 working as a team.

The last clue ends with an important message for the crew: the treasure is shared by everyone.

How to use it

  1. Print the PDF (black and white is fine). Use thick paper or card stock if you can.
  2. Page 1 is the counselor's sheet - it tells you where to hide each clue. Tick the box as you hide them.
  3. Cut out the 12 cards along the dashed lines on pages 2 and 3.
  4. Hand clue 1 to the group. Each clue solves the place where the next one is hidden.
  5. Hide the last clue next to the chest with the "treasure" (candy, cardboard medals or the gear for the next activity).
  6. If a place doesn't exist at your camp, write your own riddle on the back.
