"We used Quest-Hero for our 7-year-old’s kids birthday party in the city park, and it was the easiest party we’ve ever hosted. The kids ran, solved clues, and were totally absorbed for over an hour."
- Emma, Dublin
"I loved that I could set the route around our neighborhood in Hamburg. The birthday party scavenger hunt felt exciting but safe, and even the shy kids got involved in the puzzles."
- Lena, Hamburg
"As a dad with little time, I was grateful for the 5‑minute setup. Our garden was enough for a full birthday hunt, and the children still talk about being pirates on a secret mission."
- James, London
How many children can play in one kids birthday party quest?
You can easily play with 3–10 children on one device. For larger groups, split them into teams that follow together and solve puzzles as a group. Many parents find that 6–8 kids per team works well for a birthday party treasure hunt.
Do all children need their own phone for the birthday hunt?
No. One smartphone or tablet is enough for the entire birthday party scavenger hunt. The kids follow the GPS map together, and you read out or show the puzzles at each station. This keeps screen time low and makes supervision much easier.
Can I play the treasure hunt in my garden or at home?
Yes. Quest-Hero is not tied to a specific city or location. You can place the stations directly in your garden, around your house, or in nearby streets and playgrounds. This makes it ideal for a home-based kids birthday party with flexible routes and distances.
How long does a Quest-Hero birthday game take?
Most families plan 60–120 minutes for the birthday hunt, depending on the route length, the age of the children, and how many breaks you include. You can place the GPS stations close together for a short kids birthday party game or spread them out for a longer adventure.
What age ranges are the games suitable for?
Quest-Hero offers different adventures for ages 4–15. For younger children, the puzzles are simpler and more visual; for older kids, the challenges become trickier, making them great children birthday activities for preteens as well.
What happens if my phone battery dies during the party?
Thanks to automatic progress saving, you can simply reopen the game on the same or a different device and continue where you left off. This makes your app birthdays robust, even if technology doesn’t fully cooperate.
Do I need any special materials for the birthday party games?
No special materials are required to play the Quest-Hero birthday play. If you like, you can hide a real treasure at the final station – such as gift bags, sweets, or a small present – but the digital birthday party games and story work perfectly on their own.
How does the outdoor treasure hunt work?
The treasure hunt runs right in your mobile browser (Safari or Chrome). GPS guides you to each station where exciting riddles await.
What do I need to play?
You only need a smartphone or tablet with GPS—Android or Apple, either works perfectly. For treasure hunt games you should also hide a small treasure at the final stop.
What can I use as a treasure?
Anything fun works: small toys, candy, chocolate, or another surprise. It doesn’t have to be expensive. A themed container such as a small treasure chest adds to the excitement.
What ages can take part?
Our quests are suitable for children ages 4 and up and adapt to the selected age range. Younger kids who can’t read yet may need a little help.
How long does a game last?
Playtime depends on your route and the number of quizzes. Plan for roughly 30–90 minutes for a typical adventure. The setup shows you the expected walking distance.
Where can we play the treasure hunt?
The quests automatically adjust to your chosen location. Play in a park, downtown, your neighborhood, or even the backyard.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Preparation is quick and easy. Pick the stations on a map to create your personalized route and you’re ready to go in minutes.
What happens if the weather turns bad?
A little rain is fine, but please postpone the game if thunderstorms or high winds are forecast to keep everyone safe.
Can we pause the game?
Yes. You can pause at any time and continue later. Your progress is saved automatically.
What if we can’t solve a quiz?
You receive up to three hints. If you’re still stuck, you can skip the quiz and keep the adventure moving.
How many times can we play a purchased game?
Each quest can be completed twice.
How long is a game valid?
Your game license is valid for one year from the purchase date.
What if I placed a station at the wrong spot?
No worries—even if it ended up in a pond or on private property. You can adjust every station at any time, including while you play. Just reopen the setup and move the marker.
