I designed a little ink line picture for every hiding place and wrote the rhymes myself, so the hunt feels like a little adventure the kids will remember.

You get two levels in one download: picture clues for ages 5 to 9, and real puzzles for teens and adults. Instant download, print at home.

I can also typeset the children's names in the start letter for you. Add them in the personalization box and I'll send your files within 24 hours, at no extra cost.

What you get

Everything included

Kids 5-9: 12 picture clue cards, each with a drawing of the next hiding place and a short rhyme to read aloud
Teens and adults: 12 puzzle clues with riddles, anagrams, secret number codes, fill-ins and number puzzles
6 blank clue cards to write your own
Hiding-order checklist and an answer key
A how to set up page
A start letter from Santa, and a no-Santa start letter from the Christmas Elves (names typed in the PDF or typeset by me)
Cards 4 x 5.25 in, 4 per page with crop marks, everything in one PDF per paper size (US Letter and A4)

How it works

Three easy steps

Download your files from your Etsy purchases page right after you buy.
Print and cut the cards, then hide them in order using the checklist.
Hand over the start letter. Each clue leads to the next hiding place until the last one.

Done for you

If you add names, I typeset them in the start letter and send your files within 24 hours. You get 2 free edit rounds, each back within 24 hours. After that it's $3 a round. Nothing is ever locked in an app you have to learn.

Printing and sizes

Print it beautifully

Print at 100% (Actual size). Cardstock makes pages last for years of family game nights; plain paper is fine for one party. Cut along the crop marks; a paper trimmer keeps the edges neat.

This is a digital download, so nothing is shipped. If anything isn't right with your files, message me and I'll make it right.

Questions

Good to know

What ages is this for?

The picture clues are for ages 5 to 9, and the puzzle clues are for teens and adults. Run both at once for a mixed group.

Can the little ones play before they read?

Yes. The pictures show the hiding place, and a grown-up can read the rhyme aloud.

Do we have to believe in Santa?

No. The Christmas Elves letter is a start letter without Santa.

Do I need any app?

No. These are finished PDF files that open on any phone or computer.
