If you’re looking for fun ways to bring children’s parties to life, you’re in the right place!
Since 2013, une-chasse-au-tresor.fr (our French version) has been the go-to site for parents who want to organise a treasure hunt or a detective mystery game for a child’s birthday party.
Our stories are true adventures of imagination, where children become the heroes.
With A Treasure Hunt, organising a treasure hunt becomes quick and easy — the ideal solution for busy parents.
Select and Download
It takes just a few clicks to choose and download a game from our wide selection of treasure hunts, paper chase games and detective mysteries for kids.
To access the booklets included in your treasure hunt kit, you’ll need an up-to-date unzip program (such as 7-Zip, WinZip or WinRAR) and PDF reader software (for example Adobe Reader, Nitro PDF or PDF-XChange).
Some games also require audio equipment to play MP3 sound files, such as a computer, tablet, smartphone or a speaker system.
Read and Print
Read through the instruction booklets, print the documents, then hide the clues at home or wherever the birthday party takes place.
The number of pages to print depends on the options you choose for the game. You’ll need between 20–25 and 60–70 pages, including decorations and hiding clues. We recommend using a colour printer. Please note that some riddles require multiple copies (one per player).
Play and Enjoy
Start with the opening story, then guide the children through each stage of the adventure until they discover the treasure or unmask the villain.
Everything is included in the treasure hunt kit: original invitations with matching envelopes, story letters, all required game items (decorations, investigation notebooks, jigsaw puzzles, accessories), diplomas, hiding-place parchments, riddles and challenges, recipe cards (cakes and drinks), cake stencils and decorations, as well as themed party decorations (straw and glass toppers, name tags, sweet boxes, flags and pennants).
