With your child’s name

‘Ahoy, Lea! My name is Redbeard. Are you looking for treasure? So am I!’ – a letter written just for your child, not any old text.

In the style of their favourite theme

Pirates, princesses, dinosaurs or detectives: every page is drawn in the world your child loves most.

The activities you choose

Riddles, active and creative challenges, secret codes… whatever your child enjoys most.

Hiding places of your choice

Each riddle leads to a hiding place you have chosen – indoors, in the garden or at the park.

Certificates and invitations

A personalised certificate for each child and, as an option, an invitation for every guest.

An adventure they’ll never forget

Here’s what the children experience during the treasure hunt

  1. The start

    The mysterious letter

    The children find a letter from the hero of their theme, who gives them a mission! Excitement builds and their eyes light up.

    😮 Surprise and curiosity

  2. The adventure

    Riddles and challenges to crack

    Picture puzzles, secret codes, mazes, crosswords, active or creative challenges… Every riddle solved and every challenge completed reveals a hiding place (‘under the rug’, ‘in the fridge’…).

    🤝 Teamwork and quick thinking

  3. The clues

    Off to the hiding place!

    Everyone races to the hiding place that has just been revealed! There, the children find the next activity and a piece of the map for the big puzzle.

    🏃 Energy and a love of exploring

  4. The puzzle

    The treasure map takes shape

    Piece by piece, the map comes together, and little by little the children work out where the treasure is hidden.

    🧠 Suspense and pride

  5. The finale

    The treasure is found!

    The finished map reveals the last hiding place. The children discover the treasure together – cue the cheers! Certificates and surprises are waiting for them.

    🏆 Joy and happy memories

Everything you need to know

The children receive a mysterious letter from the hero of their theme, which starts the adventure. Then they solve riddles and challenges: each answer reveals a hiding place. There they find a piece of the treasure map and the next activity. Once the map is complete, it leads them all the way to the treasure!
It’s easy: choose the theme, the children’s age, where you’ll play (indoors, in the garden or at the park) and the hiding places. Our generator creates the activities to match. For the treasure map, use our interactive map or upload your own picture. In a few minutes you have a PDF ready to print.
