FAQ games

A list of material needed is established for each treasure hunt and is included in the game description. Some material is of course common to all the kits (printer, copy paper, pens, glue, adhesive tape, felt-tip pens). Other items will only be needed for some particular riddles or challenges (drawing pin, elastic bank, cardboard, headscarf, etc.) but all of them are small objects which you can easily find at the back of your drawers.

This of course varies a lot depending on how much you want to invest yourself in the organisation. If you want to carry out all of the different steps of the game (from the invitations to the diplomas including table decoration, brain teasers, sweet boxes, riddles, parchments, other game accessories, etc.), you should allow 2 to 3 evenings for your craft activities. If you only want to concentrate on the game itself, without worrying about the side-issues, you will have to devote one evening to the preparation. And if you’re really in a hurry, a maximum of 1 hour will be needed to prepare the compulsory items (scenario letters, riddles, challenges and diplomas).

Depending on the choices you have made for the game, you will need to print between 20-25 and 60-70 pages (this includes all the decorations as well as the clues for the hiding places). We of course advise you to use a colour printer. Watch out: several copies are needed for some of the riddles (one copy per player).

Yes. Our treasure hunts are designed to be played with one or two teams, at the organiser’s choice. Riddles and challenges are therefore available in two colours.

It’s a difficult question… It will all depend on the maturity of your child and his/her guests. Some children 6 years of age are already able to read a few words. Other 7-years-old children will feel more at ease with images. What matters is that no one lags behind. The role of organiser is extremely important here: you will need to help the children which are experiencing difficulties and set “traps” to those who are progressing too fast.

Yes of course! Our treasure hunts are designed to be played in various environments, from a small apartment to vast parks!

As many children as you want and as you can supervise! But watch out: for some of the documents, you will need to print as many copies as there are invitees. If children come in numbers, we recommend to divide them into two groups, with at least one responsible adult per team.
