Handy Tips for a Spooky Hunt 🕷️
✅ Adjust the Difficulty – Since the clues are cryptic, older kids will love the challenge. For younger ones, shorten the hunt by removing a few cards. You could even divide the cards between children, giving the older child more stops to solve as they race to the treasure, as long as they both get the final clue!
✅ Customize the Locations – Not every hiding spot will work in your home. Feel free to leave out or swap clues to match your living space.
✅ Add Creepy Surprises – Tuck in mini prizes along the way, like glow-in-the-dark stickers, candy eyeballs, or spooky notes from a friendly ghost.
✅ Halloween Treasure Ideas – The final treasure doesn’t need to be big—just something festive! Some ideas include:
- A small Boo Basket filled with Halloween goodies
- A bag of Halloween candy or chocolate pumpkins
- A Halloween storybook or coloring set
- A set of glow sticks or a spooky flashlight
- An empty basket with a note from a “haunted helper” congratulating them on solving the hunt, with hints that they will later go trick-or-treating to collect their loot
🎃 Have fun, and may your Halloween night be full of chills, thrills, and candy spills! 🎃
