Color Clues

General information

Color Clues is a treasure hunt that uses audio recordings rather than written clues. This is an excellent way to stoke the imagination of young children who cannot yet read, and also enchants older children who delight in the verbal clues and the challenge of the hunt.

You can easily design your own treasure hunts, customizing them for your children and your house, or draw from a database of treasure hunts with pre-made clues that will fit most homes.

The hunt starts by giving the child the first code – a sequence of 4 primary colors – and a smart phone running the Color Clues app, displaying big boxes of primary colors. The child discovers that she or he can enter the code into the app, triggering the first audio clue. One clue leads to another until they reach the final destination where they find a hidden a gift or a surprise or simply a congratulations for completing the hunt.

Users can also upload their hunts to an online database, where other users can download and use those hunts themselves. Our community of treasure hunters will have access to an ever-growing set of treasure hunts, created by imaginative people all over the world.
