Hunt Clues for Your Scavenger Hunt or Treasure Hunt

clues_on_paper_Scavenger hunt clues as well as treasure hunt clues are a key component to a fun hunt. Sometimes these clues can be difficult to come up with yourself, and that’s where we come in! We’ve created and gathered 1000’s of clues for both scavenger hunts and treasure hunts, and we consider ourselves the curator of these types of clues! You can search through our clues collection and when you find one you want to use just copy and paste it into the document of your choice. Once you’ve done that you’ve got your list of clues and you know right where to hide each clue if it’s a treasure hunt or you’ve got your list built if it’s a scavenger hunt! Pretty cool, right!

There are several paths to choose from when using the site. We provide a couple of suggestions here, but you are welcome to meander your way through any way you like!

As you go through the site you’ll find that you can click on clues and then be able to comment on it. Maybe it could be worded better or you have some other suggestions for that clue… feel free to suggest! You can also click on any answer and find more scavenger hunt / treasure hunt clues that also have that same answer. So if you see a clue for a clock and then want to see more clock clues… just click on the word clock and you’ll see other related clues. You can also use the “Answers” link at the top of the page to see a list of all the answers (ie. hiding places and items to find) which allows you to start with a list of items and find clues rather than trying to find both. We try to make this super easy!
