Lily came out of this one convinced she’d genuinely saved the fire station. I didn’t argue.

Kids love uniforms, sirens, and the idea of being heroes, and this adventure taps straight into that. The twist? When they arrive for their “big day at the station,” everything’s gone wrong. A water pipe has burst and flooded the fire station, hoses are tangled in knots, there’s a fire alarm, and over at the police station, the radio’s broken and important evidence has been mixed up.

They’re going to need a proper team to sort the chaos, and that team is them. With Chief Superintendent Krause as their guide, the kids work through eight exciting stations, solving puzzles, tackling rescue scenarios, and proving they’ve got what it takes to be real emergency heroes. It’s all movement, teamwork, and clever thinking.

🎯

Best for: ages 4–9, indoors or outdoors (works great in a garden, park, or spread across a house), up to 10 kids, about 60–120 minutes. Kids who love action and teamwork over pure puzzle-solving will go mad for this one.
Hannah’s honest tip: this one needs a bit more setup space than others (you’ll want three cups of water and a sponge for one station, a small ball for another), so read through before you start so you know what you’re gathering. And if you’ve got kids who get competitive about “winning,” remind them it’s all about teamwork — the police station and fire station are both parts of the same mission, not a race.

When does this hunt work best?

A firefighter or police birthday party, or any day with kids who love action and teamwork more than sitting still with puzzles. It works in the garden, a park or spread across the house, but needs a bit more space than most — and read it through first, as one station uses three cups of water and a sponge and another a small ball. Two difficulty levels (4–6 and 6–9) let mixed ages play together.

Quick answer: a printable firefighter and police treasure hunt for ages 4–9 and up to 10 players, with 8 stations, two difficulty levels and 60–120 minutes of play. Instant PDF — print it at home tonight.

We moved the treasure hunt into the woods and played it with the whole family – Granny, Grandad, kids (9 and 11), everyone joined in. It was really good fun, partly because you can adapt the route and hiding places yourself. A lovely shared experience without much tech!

My son (7) wants to be a firefighter - this gift was like a dream come true for him! 6 children played firefighters and police for about 70 minutes. The double-theme idea is brilliant: some of the children were firefighters, the others police. Really well done!

★★★★★
Finally something different! Instead of just going for a walk, we had a proper mission. The tasks were well thought out and not too easy, but not too hard either. There were six of us, so a perfect group size.

★★★★★
My son (7) was desperate for a "real mission". And that's exactly what it was. The children followed clues, compared fingerprints and even cracked a secret code at the end. You can tell someone put a lot of thought into it.
