The Family Treasure Hunt Game! Indoor Adventure Board Game for Kids 4-8, Solve Clues Together to Find Jewels and a Surprise Gold Bar Reward – Great for Parties and Playdates

This is a great game. It is a scavenger hunt type game, so I'm sure you could make your own, but this makes it soooo simple. I have a "just turned 7" and "about to turn 3" year old. There a picture clues and riddle type clues so that it is easy for the 3 year old, but also a little challenging for the 7 year old, but they can still play TOGETHER!!!! They had so much fun running around the house searching for the clues. There are a lot of picture cards, but only 30 of the written clues, so I wish there was so more of those, but it is still sooo much fun. The clues are things that you might only have one of, like a washing machine, or multiples, like window. This is great because even if you do multiple games in a row and use some of the same cards, you can just change which window you put it in. It's hard to play a game with both my boys at this age where they both have lots of fun. The almost 3 year old will lose interest, and move pieces, and knock things over, which frustrates 7. This game gave the opportunity to play together for a common goal of finding a treasure together. It was great for everyone!

My kids love a scavenger hunt, but the amount of time it took for me to set up clues was less than fun for me. Between drawing pictures for my 4 year old and coming up with riddles for my 8 year old I was spending way to much time prepping. I picked up the Gotrovo Treasure Hunt Game based on the fact that it had a variety of cards. Pictures with the words on the back, riddles without the answer on the back, and a set of fantasy cards with places like "Mermaid Cove". There are both indoor and outdoor locations that are color coded for the intended use, red: outdoor, blue: indoor, green: indoor or outdoor, gold: role-play and blank cards. This really speeds up setting up the clue trail. The card are water resistant, but not water proof. The game comes with a map that seems like it is made out of the same material that placemats for kids are made out from. I think it is almost indestructible and will last a long time. Then there are high quality Velcro dots that go on the map and the back of all the cards. With 100 cards, the prep work is a bit time consuming the first time. There are 10 gold coins that you can include with each clue card, and a small red bag to put them in. This is great for keeping one child in charge of the map and one child in charge of the coins, but not necessary for the game at all. Finally, there is a gold treasure box to hide the loot. This is a good size box (about 7x 3.75x 2.25 inches inside) that has magnetic closures for the lid. It only take a few minutes to hide the clues through the house, and depending on how well you hide them and how far you spread them out, you can keep kids entertained for a good chunk of time. Now, for the only problem I had with the set: The map is cool, but not very functional. It comes rolled up in a tight tube, so it wont straighten out. If your child was just supposed to just play pretend with it, it would be great. But it's two sided with Velcro dots that you are supposed to place the clue cards on as you find them. As it curls back up, it nocks the cards off and my kids were struggling with it the whole time. My 4 year old said "How about we just bring the cards to you each time we find one?" I decided to risk destroying the thing and used an iron at it's lowest setting to try and flatten it out. This would have worked better and quicker if I had done that before putting the Velcro dots on. But after heating it up and leaving it rolled up backwards for a few minutes, it's decently flat. I think that rolling it up backwards overnight may work or using a hair dryer, but not sure. Obviously, I'm not a very patient person. Looking at the whole set, you could create something like this for little to no money depending on what you have around the house. But, if you lack the time and/or patience to get that done, this is a great alternative. Is the set worth the cost? I think so. The supplies like the map, treasure box, and coins are not necessary for a scavenger hunt. But the kids love them and they are all a great quality. This would be so much fun for a birthday party or any gathering that kids are around! My kids love it and have asked to play it daily.

This was a delightfully game for our 2 grandsons (3 & 6 yrs old). It's fun & encourages teamwork, observation skills & problem solving. Ample riddle clues and picture clues cards are provided so the hunt can be played over & over. We placed 5 of the selected clues indoors and 5 outdoors to maximize the physical activity. We also hid some low to the ground or under things that were often spotted by smaller child. Can be played with multiple variations to appeal to wide range of ages. A 7th grader helped me hide the clues & enjoyed helping the younger kids by telling them when they were getting "warmer". The sturdy "props" of a double-sided map with Velcro attachments and the sack for the coins encouraged the imaginative roleplaying. I've put together treasure hunts for kids many times, but it can be time consuming. This game cuts the prep time making set-up much easier. I highly recommend this treasure hunt game.

Great idea! This is really fun, and definitely great for pulling out on rainy days for for parties. Especially if something special is put inside the treasure box they can find at the end! I really like that it appeals to a wide age range. I played it with my 9, 7, 5 and 4 year olds, and they all had fun with it. My one complaint is that it didn't come with spare velcro stickers for the map, and two of the stickers in my box had come off and become stuck onto the inside of the box! So before I even opened it, I was down two stickers. This would be easily solved at minimal cost by providing a few extra stickers.

We bought this game to play at my sons 6th birthday party. We tried it out before hand and it is so much fun. Initial setup takes a little bit of time but is very easy. There are 100 different clue cards that are color coded. Blue cards are indoor scavenger hunts; red are outdoor hunts; green cards are both indoor and outdoor hunts; and then gold cards which are role play cards (ie: go to the mermaids cave); and gold blank cards to write your own clues. After the initial set up, getting the game ready is really easy. There are multiple difficulties on the cards and two different sides to the map. The map is not paper, it feel like a thick vinayl. The only problem we had playing the first time is that the map was curled up and difficult to use. After looking again at the instructions there is a small line at the bottom of the page that suggests using an iron over a tea towel to lay it flat. I would highly reccomend this game and will probably be buying the holiday expansion pack!

My two girls aged 3 and 5 just love this game. Whenever they have new friends over it works perfectly as a nice icebreaker activity to get them aquainted and playing together.

E' un gioco molto divertente per organizzare rapidamente una caccia al tesoro in casa o in giardino. Le carte degli indizi possono contenere immagini (per i più piccoli), parole o indovinelli. La lingua è l'inglese, e il gioco è adatto ai bambini bilingue o ai bambini che imparano l'inglese a scuola o possono essere aiutati dai familiari. L'ho sperimentato con i miei nipotini che adorano i giochi di caccia al tesoro. C'è anche una modalità di gioco di ruolo: le carte indicano luoghi di fantasia e i bambini devono immaginare quali potrebbero essere questi luoghi di fantasia nel loro spazio domestico, nel giardino o nel parco. Le carte offrono molti spunti e non è necessario seguire alla lettera le istruzioni di gioco. I pallini autoadesivi nella confezione sono piuttosto scomodi e non li abbiamo usati.

This is the 2nd Treasure Hunt game I have purchased for two sets of grandchildren in different cities. It is easy to play and the little ones love dashing through the house (or yard in the summer) looking for the clue cards so they can collect their treasures along the way to finding the treasure box at the end (which always contains a favourite treat of some sort!). The adults have as much fun as the little ones watching them enjoy their excitement of the hunt. This is a great game for your own family or as a gift - especially for those times when you’re stuck in the house and need to burn off a little energy. Game is well made and worth every penny. Highly recommend.

Created4kids are a fantastic company to deal with. There was a mix up caused by Amazon and I received the original gotrovo game (which was less professional and didn't come in a proper box) by mistake. I had no idea and was quite happy with the original but upon reading my first review about this game, the company realised there had been a mistake and contacted me to let me know. They also sent me the correct game, A.S.A.P and at no extra charge to myself. My son wanted a famous five themed birthday party so as well as a "kirrin island" cake and "lashings of ginger beer", we brought this game with the intention of setting a treasure hunt at his party. We had six children hunting on the day and everyone had lots of fun. The game takes a bit of setting up initially, There are a hundred printed clue cards, which you need to stick velcro dots onto the back and this does take some time but it's well worth the effort and once done, the game is easy to set up for future plays. The game is aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 8. For older kids there are word clues with a rhyme which the children have to complete in order to find out where the next clue is hidden but for younger children there are simple picture cards too so everyone can play and have fun. There are cards for both indoor and outdoor use and they are stored neatly in a generous sized cotton swag bag. There is a double sided treasure map and each side is a different map, each map has ten spaces for clues where the children attach the cards to the map when found. Both the cards and the map are of very good quality so will stand plenty of repeat play, they are a kind of wipe clean card which with my three year old, I have found very handy! They provide gold coins to hide along the way, we haven't used them but it could make trails more interesting if you wanted to. They also provide a gold coloured plastic tray which you can fill with sweets if you wish or if you turn it upside down, it looks like a bar of gold. The tray is quite flimsy and I suspect that it will break after a couple of plays but it isn't hugely important to the fun of the game, I think kids prefer to hunt for some proper treasure like sweets or a small toy. All in all this is a very unique and thoughtfully put together game and it has enabled my children to have the fun of completing old fashioned treasure hunts without the stress for me. I highly recommend this game and can't wait to lay another trail at Easter! We also brought the gotrovo mini games as party bag fillers for the kids attending the party to go home with and they were also a big hit with both the kids and the parents. This has been great value, lots of fun and I certainly don't resent buying it. Thankyou Gotrovo for a brilliant game and first class customer service!

Unsere Kinder sind in der dritten,fünften und siebten Klasse und das ist ein super festigen der englischen Sprache, sie lernen im Spiel dazu, echt nur zu empfehlen.Sie spielen sowie so gerne Schatzsuche und das ist echt super im Haus spielbar, sie laufen ständig rum und verstecken wieder neu. Durch die Schwierigkeitsstufen ist es ein super Lernspiel.
