Halloween Scavenger Hunt for Tweens and Teenagers

A Halloween scavenger hunt is an easy way to add a little mystery and movement to your party.

In this printable game, players follow eight Halloween riddles while searching for the mischievous Greedy Gribble and the missing golden key.

Each clue leads to a new hiding place until the group reaches the final prize.

This spooky scavenger hunt works best for tweens, teenagers, families, and small groups that want something more involved than a worksheet, but simpler to set up than a full escape room.

Halloween Scavenger Hunt Overview

The Greedy Gribble has stolen the golden key and hidden it somewhere nearby.

Players must solve eight scavenger hunt clues, visit each hiding place and track him down before they can claim their prize.

How to Set Up the Halloween Scavenger Hunt

Print the game and cut apart the eight clue cards. Follow the included answer guide to place each clue in the correct hiding spot.

Give players the opening clue when you’re ready to begin. Each solved riddle will lead them to the next card until they reach the final location.

How to Play

Players can complete the Halloween treasure hunt individually or work together as a team. Read the first riddle, figure out the answer, and search that location for the next clue.

Continue solving the Halloween riddles until all eight clues have been found and the missing golden key is recovered.

Halloween Scavenger Hunt Prize Ideas

A Halloween Scavenger Hunt for Teenagers and Tweens

The clues give older kids something to solve without making the game overly complicated. It works well for a teen Halloween party, tween sleepover, family gathering or small-group Halloween activity.

Because everything is already written, you only need to print the clues, choose the hiding places and add a prize at the end.
