Nothing bonds the family or friends together more than a good fun game they can enjoy together. There are plenty of friends and family game night ideas, and one that both kids and adults love is a scavenger hunt. While a scavenger hunt is typically played outside, with colder months approaching, the game can be easily converted to play with objects found around the house (or inside its premises).
While you can come up with your own set of rules and clues, here at Bored Panda, we've combed the internet to find the best scavenger hunt clues (with answers!) to save you some precious time or serve as inspiration. Depending on the age and maturity of the players, you can adjust the difficulty of scavenger hunt clues by making the clues relatively easy for the little players and trickier for the more experienced ones.
Below, we've compiled a list of scavenger hunt clues around the house, some more tricky than others, so choose wisely! Did you use any of the indoor scavenger hunt clues we've provided? Let us know! Also, if you've come up with your own scavenger hunt ideas, share them in the comments and help the other Pandas out!
