Oscar came home from school talking about witches non-stop, so I dug this one out — and he actually wanted to tidy up after, which never happens.
Not all witches are the scary kind. This one is about Alvara, who’s friendly and clever, and her wise owl Morgula, who’s deliberately hidden things around the house to test whether the kids are paying attention and thinking logically. It’s a proper treasure hunt wrapped up in a magical, slightly spooky adventure.
Your kids will explore a mysterious witch’s house (or garden, or anywhere you fancy) with a treasure map in hand. At each of the 8 stations, they discover enchanted clues, solve puzzles that Morgula has left, and piece together the mystery. It’s less “scary Halloween” and more “cosy autumn magic” — perfect if you want something with a witchy vibe that won’t give them nightmares.
When does this hunt work best?
Autumn and Halloween, for families who want a witchy feel without nightmares — Alvara is a friendly, clever witch, so it’s more cosy autumn magic than scary Halloween. It works around the house or in the garden, and suits a witch-themed birthday party too. If you’ve a mix of ages, pair the younger ones with older ones at the trickier riddle stations.
Quick answer: a printable witch treasure hunt for ages 4–9 and 2–10 players, with 8 stations and 60–120 minutes of play. Instant PDF — print it at home tonight.
