12 Scavenger Hunt Clues for Easter Weekend 2024

31 Mar 2023

Easter weekend is steeped in celebration and magic. For millions, it’s a religious tradition, a reason for games and hijinks… a valid excuse to tell your children that a man-sized bunny has entered your house and… laid chocolate eggs in all the cupboards?

Ignoring how mental that sounds, everyone loves the chocolate, gatherings and the challenge of a good Easter egg scavenger hunt. And this year’s Easter weekend will be no different.

If you have little ones then you might disagree, having been tasked with thinking up clues for the kiddos. Don’t let that dampen your enthusiasm, though. We have your back this year. Indeed, we’ve written a series of riddles that are:

• Easy enough for kids to untangle
• Also difficult enough to keep grownups entertained

Admittedly, we’ve based our Easter hunt clues around the kitchen, and we’ll point out cool kitchen features along the way – a tall drinks cabinet perfect an Easter cocktail, for example – but don’t hold that against us. As a kitchen company, we couldn’t help ourselves.

Rules of the Game

There are 12 riddles, 12 answers, and set-up should take less time than boiling a kettle. Simply copy the clue list to a Word document, print and cut them into strips, then save one clue to hand to your children to start the game (or friends if you’re adults who can’t get enough of treasure hunt riddles).

Once that’s done, hide a chocolate egg in a location that matches the first riddle's answer alongside another clue. Then repeat the cycle. The order is irrelevant as long as each new location matches the current clue. Say, for instance, Clue 1’s answer is “sink.” Hide chocolate in said sink with Clue 2, which will lead to a second treat and Clue 3. Follow this pattern until all the clues are gone.

Here are four clues to get you started:

 

CLUE: People know how to tick me off but I never get angry. Instead, I count to 12.

ANSWER: Clock

 

CLUE: Sometimes I’m big. Sometimes I’m little. I cuddle you in bed. What am I?

ANSWER: Spoon

 

CLUE: Just like a hole in a boat, I give you water and that feeling.

ANSWER: Sink

 

CLUE: I dry and I dry but I keep getting wetter.

ANSWER: Towel

 

Pantries are Fantastic Hiding Spots

Before we carry on, do you wish you had more places to hide treats? If so, you’d probably also like more storage. Thankfully, we’ve got a solution. It’s the Hathaway pantry!

Offered from 400–1,200 millimetres wide, and including Portland Oak and Tuscan Walnut finishes, this versatile storage feature offers shelves, drawers and wine pigeon holes. No matter whether your kitchen space is grand or quaint, it’s fantastic for hiding all manner of mess… and chocolate eggs!

What’s more, a lifetime guarantee covers all moving parts! That means your Hathaway’s drawers will last forever, even with kids yanking them open, absolutely tanked on sugar.

By the way, here are a few more clues:

 

CLUE: Folks put their plates in my mouth to clean them.

ANSWER: Dishwasher

 

CLUE: Shall we play a game I can win for once? Hot, hotter... SCORCHING!

ANSWER: Oven

 

CLUE: I use a drum and make a racket but I'm no rockstar.

What better way to celebrate a scavenger hunt well done than with an Irish cream mocktail or a Mini Egg martini after any kids present have vacated the area? Speaking of glorious releases, you’ve earned your last four clues:

 

CLUE: My mouth's cleaner than a dog's but we both love the taste of socks.

ANSWER: Washing Machine
