Halloween Treasure Hunt Riddles

Hosting a Halloween Party? This page features some spooky riddles for your treasure hunt.

Last year for my kid's Halloween party decided to host a treasure hunt. I searched online to find riddles to use for my Halloween treasure hunt clues, however, I was unable to find any good riddles.

Therefore, I decided to compose my own riddles and actually had a great time doing it. It has been a very long time since I wrote any type of poetry, but all my rhyming skills came rushing back.

A treasure hunt consistes of numerous clues which lead you to the treasure. Each clue leads you to another place where you will find another clue waiting. After the last clue is found, you will have found the treasure!

I was originally planning on holding the treasure hunt outside until we had a rare blizzard in October! So, I had to hold the treasure hunt indoors. The riddles are basic items you can find around your house.

If the kids are doing the treasure hunt in teams, be sure that each person in the team gets a chance to read one of the clues. This is one of the rules I told the kids before they began playing the game.

I hope you enjoy my Halloween treasure hunt riddles. They are free to use for personal use only. Please do not copy, resell or use commercially.

I typed the riddles using a creepy font and matted them onto Halloween theme cardstock paper.

Love this. Using this for the kids I babysit.
If anyone needs a type of font, I used Chiller on Open Office.

Thank you for posting this. I used many of the clues for our Halloween party - a treasure hunt for the goodie bags. We had kids 4-12, and all of them had a blast, they really enjoyed figuring out the riddles. I had them work together as a group, and take turns reading the clues. We did 7 clues and had the kids running all around the house. Fantastic!
