2. The physical indoor treasure hunt: Printable kits in 'Adventure at Home' mode
Want the children to move around and hunt for real clue cards hidden behind sofa cushions? Our Printable Kits now include an 'Adventure at Home' mode, designed for rainy days, school breaks, and family afternoons.
Let's be completely upfront: for this option, you need a printer (colour recommended), a pair of scissors, pencils, an envelope, and a tablet or computer with internet access for the paired mini-games between indoor clues.
🚫 Zero invitation paper waste
In Adventure at home mode, party invitations are automatically removed. No wasted ink or paper.
📝 Team Contract (with a clever coloring activity)
In its place, the kit produces a 1-page 'Team Contract'. Children sign team rules ('we search together, we break nothing') and colour in the artwork while you hide the clues in the living room!
🏆 Collective Adventurer Certificate
Each child gets a personalized certificate with their name, celebrating the team with no mention of a birthday.
⚡ Express setup
A step-by-step checklist that sticks to the essentials, with nothing to prepare the day before.
🌧️ Turn rainy days into an unforgettable adventure
Discover our 5 complete printable kits with the instant Adventure at home mode.

Getting a 5-year-old and a 9-year-old to play the same game without tears is every parent's challenge. The older child rushes ahead, while the younger child feels left out. Here is the approach suggested in the kit's guide:
Our age recommendation: select the Big Kids mode (ages 7-10) in the kit toolbar, and give the children two complementary roles:
🏃♂️ The Scout role (ages 5 to 7)
The Scout is the legs and eyes of the squad. They race to search the hiding spots, bring back clue cards, assemble puzzle pieces, and hold the tablet during picture-based game rooms.
🧠 The Decoder role (ages 8 to 10)
The Decoder is the strategist. They read riddles aloud to the team, decipher coordinate grids, take down numbers, and calculate the final code.
Easy indoor hiding spot ideas & Crucial safety rules
For an indoor treasure hunt on a wet afternoon, you only need the living room and hallway:
Safety Rules
- 🚫 Never up high : Kids should never need to climb on chairs, stools, or furniture to retrieve a clue.
- ⚠️ Off-limits zones: kitchen & utility : Strictly forbid the oven, stove, cutlery drawers, and any cupboard with cleaning products or medicine.
- 🔌 Electrical safety : State clearly before starting that no clues are hidden in power outlets, behind the television, or near hot radiators.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an indoor escape game last on a rainy afternoon?
The free online games have 3 challenges each: playtime depends on age, the chosen level and how many children take turns. With a printed kit and a treasure hunt around the house, expect about 45 minutes to 1 hour of play (estimate).
My children are 5 and 8 years old, which mode should I print?
Print the Big Kids mode (7-10 yrs). Give the 5-year-old the Scout role (finding physical clues and moving tokens) and the 8-year-old the Decoder role (reading texts and solving ciphers). Everyone contributes and no one feels bored.
What do I need if I don't own a printer?
If you don't have a printer, go straight for our 100% free online option: all 5 Kids Adventures games run in any web browser on a laptop connected to your TV or on a tablet.
Can we play again on another day?
Yes! Each online game offers 5 age levels and the puzzles are randomly drawn every game, so you can replay at the same or a higher level next time it rains.
