An easter egg hunt with clues (also known as a treasure hunt) is a popular party game for kids of all ages. The hunters search for different clues that will lead them to the main prize, picking up other smaller prizes on the way.
Clues add a bit of mystery to the activity at hand, plus you get to be creative with where you hide them. We recommend planning this type of Easter egg hunt for a small group, such as 1-3 children. This is because each clue leads to the next one, so the participants will definitely need to work together as a team!

Scavenger hunts are more frenzied than clue hunts - they're basically a free-for-all type of situation! Open the patio doors and let the kids run wild on a hectic hunt for as many eggs as they can find. Sometimes a scavenger hunt kit comes with a list so that your hunters know exactly what they're looking for, but as long as you know how many eggs were in the kit then you won't necessarily need one.
Since this type of activity isn't as structured as a clue hunt, you can have as many people participating as you like. Some egg hunt kits include up to 24 eggs, which should be plenty to keep your little ones and their friends going!
Now that you know which type of hunt you'd like to host, let's think about the prize! Often, the eggs provided in a kit are made from plastic and either come empty or with a small toy inside. If you want to make sure that all of the hunters get something for their efforts, you might prefer the pre-filled eggs.
On the other hand, if you like to add an element of surprise then you might want to pick out some small treats to pop inside the eggshell. This is a fantastic eco-friendly option too as you can save the shell for next year and reuse it.
Lastly, some kits feature totally edible prizes such as eggs with delicious hollow chocolate shells. As yummy as these are, they're not so good for hiding outside on a sunny day and you obviously can't reuse them the following year. Still, chocolate will never disappoint hunters of all ages at Easter time!

In order to make sure that you get the best value kit for your money, you should evaluate the contents and check how many pieces are included. If you have a clue kit, there might be signs, bunny feet, and baskets alongside the clues. You don't necessarily need all of these extras, but we say the more the merrier!
Those shopping for a scavenger hunt kit will need to make sure that there are enough prizes for everyone. We recommend making sure that you have at least five prizes for one or two hunters and at least ten for a medium-sized group. Anything over ten is a safe bet and leaves a sufficient number of prizes for extra eager hunters!

This Easter egg hunt kit features 40 credit-card-sized clue cards, which should be enough to keep all of the hunters searching while you prepare more surprises. You could even fold them up and pop them into some empty plastic eggs if you feel like it!
The cards are split into two categories: indoor and outdoor. The hiding spots are fairly generic, with options such as the fridge, a flower bed, and a bush. Still, the wide variety of cards included allows you to personalise the hunt depending on the age and interests of the participants.
Who says Easter egg hunts are only meant for children? With this gourmet kit, the adults will want to join in the fun too! There are four prizes to be won, filled with unique. delicious, and limited edition treats from Joe & Seph - perfect if you're having a small gathering.

This is a brilliant hunting kit with lots of pre-written clues that are suitable for hiding all around the house. As none of the clues relate to the garden, it's the perfect indoor activity for a rainy Easter weekend.
All you need to do is fold up the clues and place them into the bunny-themed envelopes for the hunters to find and open. Once the kids have collected their prizes along the way, they can store them in the cute cardboard wicker basket that's provided. For under £5, this is a decent kit for creative parents - but some may wish there was a prize included too!
Adorned with bows and flowers, this basket is a super cute toy for little ones. In addition to the basket, you get a selection of Hatchimals and pearlescent pastel eggs - perfect for Easter play time!
Although this is more of a novelty product than an actual hunt kit, the concept still stands as you can hide the Hatchimals around your home for your child to fetch using the basket. It's not the cheapest set around but we'd say it's worth the price if you know someone who collects Hatchimals!
Dinosaurs don't really scream Easter, but if you have a child that adores them, this kit will surely make them happy! It comes with 12 eggs with an assortment of mini realistic dinosaur figures that your little ones can run around to collect.
The best part is that they will get to keep their own prizes so they have new toys to play with. If you want to add even more surprises, the dinosaurs are small enough that you can fit in some extra chocolate pieces into the eggs too.
If you enjoy getting creative with your Easter Egg hunting trails, this pack of 10 yummy chocolate prizes from Cadbury will be a great reward! You get 10 hollow chocolate eggs, which we already know are delicious since they're from Cadbury.
The only thing is that the chocolate prizes are all you get, so you may have to purchase an additional set of clues or get creative and make them yourself. Luckily though, the price is totally affordable so you won't be breaking the bank even if you need to purchase additional accessories.
Set the tone for a merry hunt with this 30 piece kit including two easter rabbits with baskets and placards, and several Happy Easter signs! Once you set up this Easter egg search at home, whether outdoors on indoors, the excitement ensues as your little ones find chocolates and treats along the way.
