Common Questions
What age is a pirate scavenger hunt best for?
Pirate adventures work beautifully for kids 4–10. We tune the clue difficulty and language to the age range you pick.
Do I need to buy props?
No. The hunt uses things already in your backyard. You can hide a small treasure at the end, but nothing extra is required to play.
