If you need a fun activity to do on a rainy day, why not use these 10 indoor scavenger hunt riddles.

It’s a great game to play with kids and teenagers, although some of the riddles may be too difficult or advanced for young children.

10 Indoor Scavenger Hunt Riddles

Resources

  • Indoor scavenger hunt riddles (see list below)
  • Each of the items the riddles refer to

Preparation

Go around the house hiding the 10 items in different rooms. Try to hide them in places that will be difficult to find – this will make the scavenger hunt last longer.

Make a note of which item is hidden in which room as you go around indoors, as you’ll need this for later.

How To Play

Read the first riddle to the players and have them race to be the first to answer it correctly.

Once they know what the answer is, tell them which room the item’s hidden in. They then have to race to that room and find it.

Points

There are two points available for each item:

  • 1 point for answering the riddle correctly
  • 1 point for finding the item first

The winner will therefore be the player with the highest points total at the end.
