Personalized Adventure Book — A Scavenger Hunt Made for Your Child

A scavenger hunt story written around your child, set in the places they already know — printed, bound, and delivered to your door as a keepsake.

You tell us who they are and where the hunt happens. We write and illustrate a book that exists only for them: your child as the named hero, your hiding spots as the trail, your family woven into the plot. No templates. No name swapped into a stock story.

How the hunt works:

Eight clues lead to eight hiding places, and at each one your child finds a single piece of a relic. The pieces only mean something together. When the eighth locks into place the relic opens, and inside is a key — along with the symbol alphabet needed to read the one page in the book written in code. Decoded, that page says where the treasure chest is. The key opens it. Neither works alone, and there is no way to skip ahead.

Puzzles built into the book:

The hunt isn't the only thing to solve. Bound into the book are a cipher page keyed to the relic, a word search drawn from your own adventure's words, a maze, a colouring map of your neighbourhood, a hidden-object scene, and line-art pages of your child and the relic to colour in. Every one is generated for this book — the word search uses this story's words, the maze is unique to this order.

What arrives in the post:

• A bound adventure book — made to look like a weathered explorer's field journal
• An original story with your child as the hero, plus sketch pages and blank leaves for their own notes
• Clues tied to real places — built around the hiding spots you choose
• Illustrated spreads and a map of the hunt — artwork made for this book and no other
• Puzzle and activity pages — cipher, word search, maze, colouring and hidden-object pages, all generated for this adventure
• Eight relic pieces that assemble into the decoder and its key
• A treasure chest with treasure inside — gemstones and finds chosen to match the world of the adventure
• An adventure chronicle — a record of how the quest unfolded
• A certificate of completion

Pick your world: lost pirate treasure or the unicorn realm. Two adventures, each with its own guide, its own relic, its own artwork, and its own treasure in the chest.

Reading level and puzzle difficulty are set from your child's age, so the clues stretch them without frustrating them.

In a hurry, or want to try it first?

The print-at-home adventure ($49) is a shorter version of the same custom story, formatted for your own printer with the relic pieces as cut-outs. Same personalized hunt, available straight away, nothing to ship.

This printed edition is the longer one, and it's the one that survives the hunt — a real bound book that stays on a shelf long after the pieces are found.

Every book is made to order. Because each one is written, illustrated and printed from scratch, please allow time for production before dispatch.
