Gotrovo Treasure Hunt Game Indoor Outdoor Diy Educational Activity For Kids Learn Through Fun - 100 Clue Cards, Map, Bar, Gold Coins And Loot Bag

My two girls aged 3 and 5 just love this game. Whenever they have new friends over it works perfectly as a nice icebreaker activity to get them aquainted and playing together.

My kids love a scavenger hunt, but the amount of time it took for me to set up clues was less than fun for me. Between drawing pictures for my 4 year old and coming up with riddles for my 8 year old I was spending way to much time prepping. I picked up the Gotrovo Treasure Hunt Game based on the fact that it had a variety of cards. Pictures with the words on the back, riddles without the answer on the back, and a set of fantasy cards with places like "Mermaid Cove". There are both indoor and outdoor locations that are color coded for the intended use, red: outdoor, blue: indoor, green: indoor or outdoor, gold: role-play and blank cards. This really speeds up setting up the clue trail. The card are water resistant, but not water proof. The game comes with a map that seems like it is made out of the same material that placemats for kids are made out from. I think it is almost indestructible and will last a long time. Then there are high quality Velcro dots that go on the map and the back of all the cards. With 100 cards, the prep work is a bit time consuming the first time. There are 10 gold coins that you can include with each clue card, and a small red bag to put them in. This is great for keeping one child in charge of the map and one child in charge of the coins, but not necessary for the game at all. Finally, there is a gold treasure box to hide the loot. This is a good size box (about 7x 3.75x 2.25 inches inside) that has magnetic closures for the lid. It only take a few minutes to hide the clues through the house, and depending on how well you hide them and how far you spread them out, you can keep kids entertained for a good chunk of time. Now, for the only problem I had with the set: The map is cool, but not very functional. It comes rolled up in a tight tube, so it wont straighten out. If your child was just supposed to just play pretend with it, it would be great. But it's two sided with Velcro dots that you are supposed to place the clue cards on as you find them. As it curls back up, it nocks the cards off and my kids were struggling with it the whole time. My 4 year old said "How about we just bring the cards to you each time we find one?" I decided to risk destroying the thing and used an iron at it's lowest setting to try and flatten it out. This would have worked better and quicker if I had done that before putting the Velcro dots on. But after heating it up and leaving it rolled up backwards for a few minutes, it's decently flat. I think that rolling it up backwards overnight may work or using a hair dryer, but not sure. Obviously, I'm not a very patient person. Looking at the whole set, you could create something like this for little to no money depending on what you have around the house. But, if you lack the time and/or patience to get that done, this is a great alternative. Is the set worth the cost? I think so. The supplies like the map, treasure box, and coins are not necessary for a scavenger hunt. But the kids love them and they are all a great quality. This would be so much fun for a birthday party or any gathering that kids are around! My kids love it and have asked to play it daily.

E' un gioco molto divertente per organizzare rapidamente una caccia al tesoro in casa o in giardino. Le carte degli indizi possono contenere immagini (per i più piccoli), parole o indovinelli. La lingua è l'inglese, e il gioco è adatto ai bambini bilingue o ai bambini che imparano l'inglese a scuola o possono essere aiutati dai familiari. L'ho sperimentato con i miei nipotini che adorano i giochi di caccia al tesoro. C'è anche una modalità di gioco di ruolo: le carte indicano luoghi di fantasia e i bambini devono immaginare quali potrebbero essere questi luoghi di fantasia nel loro spazio domestico, nel giardino o nel parco. Le carte offrono molti spunti e non è necessario seguire alla lettera le istruzioni di gioco. I pallini autoadesivi nella confezione sono piuttosto scomodi e non li abbiamo usati.

Created4kids are a fantastic company to deal with. There was a mix up caused by Amazon and I received the original gotrovo game (which was less professional and didn't come in a proper box) by mistake. I had no idea and was quite happy with the original but upon reading my first review about this game, the company realised there had been a mistake and contacted me to let me know. They also sent me the correct game, A.S.A.P and at no extra charge to myself. My son wanted a famous five themed birthday party so as well as a "kirrin island" cake and "lashings of ginger beer", we brought this game with the intention of setting a treasure hunt at his party. We had six children hunting on the day and everyone had lots of fun. The game takes a bit of setting up initially, There are a hundred printed clue cards, which you need to stick velcro dots onto the back and this does take some time but it's well worth the effort and once done, the game is easy to set up for future plays. The game is aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 8. For older kids there are word clues with a rhyme which the children have to complete in order to find out where the next clue is hidden but for younger children there are simple picture cards too so everyone can play and have fun. There are cards for both indoor and outdoor use and they are stored neatly in a generous sized cotton swag bag. There is a double sided treasure map and each side is a different map, each map has ten spaces for clues where the children attach the cards to the map when found. Both the cards and the map are of very good quality so will stand plenty of repeat play, they are a kind of wipe clean card which with my three year old, I have found very handy! They provide gold coins to hide along the way, we haven't used them but it could make trails more interesting if you wanted to. They also provide a gold coloured plastic tray which you can fill with sweets if you wish or if you turn it upside down, it looks like a bar of gold. The tray is quite flimsy and I suspect that it will break after a couple of plays but it isn't hugely important to the fun of the game, I think kids prefer to hunt for some proper treasure like sweets or a small toy. All in all this is a very unique and thoughtfully put together game and it has enabled my children to have the fun of completing old fashioned treasure hunts without the stress for me. I highly recommend this game and can't wait to lay another trail at Easter! We also brought the gotrovo mini games as party bag fillers for the kids attending the party to go home with and they were also a big hit with both the kids and the parents. This has been great value, lots of fun and I certainly don't resent buying it. Thankyou Gotrovo for a brilliant game and first class customer service!
