Fun scavenger hunt that customers loved for all ages. "Easy to set up" with puzzles of "moderate difficulty" that engage kids 7-17 and adults. Takes 20-60 mins to complete. One customer noted some clues were too easy, another found a mistake in one puzzle. One reported difficulty contacting support. Overall highly praised for making gift-giving more exciting.
- Easy to use, a fun addition to the Christmas Gift Ritual
- Lots of fun for the whole family. We used this for our college kids and they really enjoyed it.
- It took them almost an hour and held their attention the whole time!

Difficulty: Easy and fun
Player type: With kids (under 12)
Duration: Under 30 minutes
The hunt went really well! My kids are 7, 9, and 12, and the level was just about perfect for them with the exception of a couple *really* easy ones. We gave the super easies to my 7 year old, and she was fine with it but one of them was truly too easy, maybe more appropriate for a child just learning to read (to solve the clue you just had to be able to read in a spiral). Otherwise, it was fun and good quality!
Looking forward to trying some of the higher level games and playing with adults!

I wanted to make the finding of the big gift more fun on Xmas morning for my 17 year olds. This was just the thing! It cost me a printer cartridge since I had to print it at home Christmas eve when I got this squirrely idea, but I got the download immediately. We love scavenger hunts, and some of the clues were easy, some of them took more time, but you can adapt all of that depending on the age and interest of the audience by selecting which clues to use. My kids really enjoyed it. I think even an adult audience would enjoy it, as the codes/puzzles were of moderate difficulty. It slows down the mad rush to open gifts, and gave me time to cook brunch while everyone still had fun. I'd say it took 40 minutes to complete for my crew. Worth it!

There was a mistake on the. Chapter ten I think, the snowflakes part, it had to do with the snowflake shapes and the number. That messed things up.
Other than that, it was easy to set up. Worked well for a group of 8, we could split the chapter challenges up to smaller groups them come together at the end. It's easy to add in additional challenges like lock boxes, and ways to earn prizes throughout. We added the main number at the end to unlock a safe where the money was. I also added a craft that they had to do (make 7 mini snowman for the days of week in 5 mins). It would be fun to hide the chapters around the house too, but since I had 7 kids at their grandparents we were avoiding them terrorizing their home.
We had a group of 7 kids, ages 10-13. The challenges were a bit harder than we expected but perfect for the group. Most they could figure out after they slowed down and thought about it. Easier ones were given to the younger ones so everyone had a challenge to do themselves or in a pair that worked for them. This is a fun event for kids that will definitely become a new tradition.

I purchased the Christmas Scavenger Hunt for my son and his girlfriend who are 22 & 23yrs old. The clues lead them to a treasure box filled with cash and candy on Christmas morning. It took them around 20mins to figure out all of the clues. They had a ton of fun and I loved watching them work together to solve the riddles and figure out the clues. Easy set up, printed the pdf, cut out the sheets and hid the clues.

well done good for a different idea

The clues were not good to reveal a final grand prize. The company's email was not deliverable. Do not purchase!
Thanks for the feedback, Stefanie! We're so sorry to know you did not enjoy it! And our email contact@mysterylocks.com and Live Chat are always open. :)

It was great. Everyone had a great time.

Very fun scavenger hunt. My granddaughter is 8 and really looking forward to this. I believe the puzzles are age appropriate plus her parents will be here to assist her. I like that everything is set up and needs little preparation on my part. I am going to combine this game with the Christmas Escape Room so the adults will have something fun as well. Always fun and clever. I do prefer the brighter colors over the darker ones
