gofindit Scavenger Hunt Card Game – Outdoor & Travel Activity for Kids Ages 3+

gofindit is a scavenger hunt card game that uses sensory prompts to help children explore nature through play. The deck comes in a compact drawstring bag, making it easy to take anywhere. Recommended for ages 3 and up, this game works at home, on the beach, during camping trips, and even on long car rides.

How the game works

Each card features a simple, sensory-based instruction—like “find something rough” or “find something that makes a sound.” Kids then search their surroundings for objects that match the prompt. The game engages sight, touch, smell, and hearing, turning any environment into a learning opportunity.

What makes it a sensory experience

Unlike a typical picture-based scavenger hunt, gofindit encourages children to use multiple senses. This hands-on approach builds observation skills and curiosity about the natural world. The game was developed by Sensory Trust, an organization that helps people access the outdoors; all profits go back to supporting that mission.

Where can you play it?

The card set is designed for versatility. Use it in your garden, at a park, on a forest walk, during a beach day, or even indoors on a rainy afternoon. Because the prompts are open-ended, the same game feels fresh in a new location. It also makes a great icebreaker for family gatherings or playdates.

How long does a game last?

You decide. You can play for five minutes by picking a few cards, or stretch it out for an hour. The difficulty adjusts naturally—younger kids might focus on simple textures, while older children can hunt for multiple items per card. An expansion pack called gofindit too is available to add more variety.

What do you get in the box?

• Deck of sensory scavenger hunt cards
• Drawstring bag for storage and portability
• Instructions (the game is intuitive, so you can start immediately)
