What is a Puzzle Hunt?

Scavenger Hunt + Puzzles 

  • Collaborate with friends and family to solve puzzles.

  • Filled with a variety of wordplay, logic, math, reasoning, and creative thinking. 

  • Find clues by solving puzzles.

  • Clues lead to locations (in person or virtual).

  • Put together clues and solve a meta puzzle for final answer(s).

"This was one of the best activities our family has participated in. I am eternally grateful for City of Palo Alto and Solving Fun for helping us get our two teenage daughters off screens and outside. We solved the puzzles together and we biked to the parks to find the clues together. Thanks for giving us a very enjoyable month of family weekend activities. I am quite sad that it came to an end and will look forward to next year's edition!"

With extra down time during the summer, we thought out solvers would enjoy a mini puzzle hunt. Find all four puzzles hidden throughout our website and solve to find a final surprise! Each answer will lead you to the next puzzle location. These four puzzles may be more challenging than our monthly downloadables. Take your time and work together to figure them out. If you’re feeling stuck, be sure to check out our “How to Solve” videos under “SHARE”.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

"These games are great for all kids. They keep kids engaged in thinking - and off screens!" - Yael

"Thank you so much for hosting a fantastic birthday party for us.  The puzzles were so creative and fun, and at a perfect difficulty for their age group. We loved all the ways the event was customized for our daughter.  And you did a great job including and encouraging all of the children.  Everyone has been telling us what a great time they had, and Amber absolutely loved it!"
- Roger & Angela


 

"Thanks for the session! My daughter had a ball. Adult puzzles have been too hard in the past." - Michelle

"They've been at it ever since they opened the puzzle cards tonight and now they don't want to go to bed." - Johanna

"Solving fun is exactly what the name implies, a fun way to learn and or teach problem solving skills across a myriad of subjects: math, science, reading comprehension, history and more. It makes learning and applying that learning FUN!" - Joshua

"Your puzzles are always the right blend of tricky, but not impossible for our family. Thank you for making a product that the whole family can enjoy together. Well done!" - Wendy 

"I ordered the "Beach Mini Pack" and the "Puzzle Cards". All I can say is that they were a BIG HIT with the kids." - Evy

"We LOVED our Chanukah puzzle pack last year. It is so amazing to me how much each night's puzzle enriched our family's Chanukah experience. We saved it to play again this year. You really hit it out of the park with that set.
