Your Christmas hunt, from screen to paper.

This indoor Christmas scavenger hunt printable turns eight household destinations into a PDF of clue cards, a grown-up placement sheet, answers, hints and an ending card. Use US Letter or A4, with color or low-ink output.

  1. Start with a ready-made route

    The maker starts with eight distinct hiding spots. Replace a destination if it does not suit your home. A spot already used elsewhere in the route is unavailable, so every destination stays unique.

  2. Check wording against the real hiding place

    Read each clue and adjust it for your home. Clues can be up to 240 characters. Keep wording short enough to read comfortably on a card. Change a destination using the hiding-spot selector so the answer sheet stays accurate.

  3. Choose your paper and ink settings

    US Letter is 8.5 × 11 inches. A4 is 210 × 297 millimeters. Low-ink output uses a white background and black text. Choose the matching paper in both the maker and your printer dialog.

  4. Preview the actual PDF

    Create PDF & preview generates the same file used by Download free PDF. If you edit a clue afterward, generate it again before printing. On a phone, use Open in PDF viewer when the inline viewer is unavailable.

  5. Print, cut and hide

    Print at 100% / Actual size. Cut along the card borders. Keep the placement sheet and answers for the grown-up. Give the first card to the player, hide subsequent cards exactly where the placement sheet says, and put the reward at the last answer.

Choose the reading level that fits.

Use ages 6–8 for direct wording and ages 9–12 for more indirect riddles. Letter decoding is optional for older readers. The same household route can be used with either level.
