Safe, parent-controlled routes
You decide exactly where the scavenger hunt takes place – in your garden, local park, forest path, or city streets. GPS stations are placed by you, so children stay in safe, clearly defined areas. You can keep younger kids in sight at all times while they still experience a real adventure.
5-minute setup, no app needed
Create a complete outdoor scavenger hunt game in just a few clicks. There’s no app download, no accounts, and no printing. Open the browser link, hand over the phone to the group leader, and the guided treasure hunt runs smoothly while you enjoy the party.
Learning through movement and play
Age-appropriate riddles boost observation, logic, reading, and teamwork. Kids run, search, and think together, turning your outdoor birthday party into an active learning experience that feels like pure fun rather than schoolwork.
Flexible for families and groups
Whether it’s a small family outing, a big outdoor playground birthday party, or mixed-age cousins, Quest-Hero adapts. You can shorten or extend the route, play as one big team or in smaller groups, and easily fit the hunt around cake, gifts, and other games.
"We used Quest-Hero for my son’s 8th birthday in the park, and it was the calmest party I’ve ever hosted. The kids ran happily from station to station, and I finally had time to chat with other parents."
- Sophie, Berlin
"Our garden isn’t very big, but we still created an exciting scavenger hunt. The GPS stations were all within sight, perfect for our 5- and 6-year-olds. They keep asking when we can play the next quest."
- Daniel, Dublin
"We turned our village into a real adventure trail with the city hunt style route. The 10- to 12-year-olds loved the tougher puzzles, and setting it up took less time than baking the cake."
- Marta, Barcelona
How do I set up an outdoor scavenger hunt birthday party with Quest-Hero?
You choose a quest in our shop, pick your outdoor location (garden, park, city streets, forest, beach), and place the GPS stations on the map. This takes about 5 minutes. On the party day, you open the game link in your browser and start the outdoor scavenger hunt birthday party directly on your phone—no app download or printing required.
Can I use Quest-Hero for other outdoor activities for birthday party fun?
Yes. Quest-Hero works for any outdoor birthday party concept: as the main highlight, as a structured activity between cake and presents, or combined with other outdoor playing games like races or ball games. You can adapt the length and route so it fits perfectly into your celebration schedule.
Is the outdoor scavenger hunt game safe for younger children?
Absolutely. You create the route yourself, so you can keep the hunt inside a fenced garden, along a safe park path, or around a familiar playground. Younger children can walk together with an adult, while older kids can explore a bit more freely. All puzzles are age-appropriate for the selected quest.
Do I need special equipment for the outdoor hunt?
All you need is a smartphone with internet access and GPS. The game runs in the browser, so there’s no extra hardware or app. You can optionally prepare a small physical treasure at the end—like a chest with sweets or small gifts—to make the finale of your outdoor scavenger hunt birthday party even more exciting.
Can I play the same adventure hunt in different locations?
Yes. Once you purchase a Quest-Hero game, you can reuse it and set up new GPS stations anywhere you like. Today it can be a city hunt through your neighborhood, next time a forest trail, and later a beach treasure hunt during vacation—all with the same story.
What if the connection breaks or my phone battery runs low during the outdoor scavenger hunt?
Quest-Hero automatically saves progress in the browser. If the connection drops or the device restarts, you simply reopen the link and continue where you left off. We still recommend starting the adventure with a well-charged phone or bringing a power bank for longer hunts.
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.
