Sinterklaas scavenger hunt at your venue

An escape game for children, at your own venue

A scavenger hunt with a Sinterklaas story works at school, in the clubhouse and at a company party. The story is simple: the Great Book is gone, and without it Sinterklaas doesn't know who's been good. The children go and look for it.

Along the way they find notes, puzzles and a small chest with a combination lock. We set everything up and guide the groups, so nobody gets stuck.

What happens along the way

A letter from the Piet

The hunt starts with a letter: the book is lost and the Piet needs help. It contains the first clue.

Challenges at each stop

At each stop there's a small challenge: finishing a rhyme, counting carrots for the horse or guessing a song.

Collecting letters

At each stop the children get a chocolate letter or a paper letter. Together they spell the word that opens the final lock.

Getting the book back

The last chest opens and the Great Book is inside. If Sinterklaas is there, the children hand it back to him.

Two versions

Younger childrenFor children aged 5 to 7: a short route with pictures instead of text, and a host with each group.
Older childrenFrom around age 8: real codes, a map of the building and groups playing against each other.
OutdoorsIn dry weather the route can go across the schoolyard, the sports park or through the neighbourhood. We always agree an indoor version.

At school

At school we play per class or with the whole lower school at once, with different routes so the groups don't get in each other's way. Teachers don't have to prepare anything.

At the club or at work

At a club or a company party the scavenger hunt is a good way to start before Sinterklaas arrives. The children are busy, and the parents have a moment for each other.

A Sinterklaas programme starts at €195 for the whole group. The price depends on the number of children, the duration and how much is customised.

Frequently asked questions

Are you bringing Sinterklaas too?

We provide the games programme. If you've already arranged your own Sinterklaas, we'll build the programme around his visit, so the children are ready when he walks in. Say in your enquiry whether Sinterklaas is coming and at what time, and we'll take it into account.

Will you come to our own venue?

Yes. A canteen, sports hall, clubhouse or hall you already have. We bring the materials, set up before the children arrive and clear up afterwards.

Do you also travel outside Twente?

Yes. For venues outside Twente a travel allowance may apply, which is then listed separately in the proposal.

Can children who can't read take part too?

Yes. In the version for young children the clues are pictures, and a host walks with each group and reads aloud where needed.

Can the scavenger hunt be done for adults too?

Yes, with harder puzzles and more racing against the clock. At Sinterklaas drinks it works as a team game.
