Pick your hiding spots and get the chain of clues in order, with cut-out cards and an organizer sheet.
This generator builds the whole hunt, not just a loose list of clues. You pick the theme (Christmas, Easter, birthday or neutral), the age of the players and where to hide, and the tool chains the spots together: the first card is handed to the player, each clue leads to the place where the next card waits, and the last one leads to the treasure with a final message. There are 55 ready-made hiding spots (28 indoors, 14 in the yard and 13 in the office), each with 3 original clues, one per age group: for little kids, an emoji and one simple sentence; for kids 7 to 10, a rhyme; for teens and adults, a riddle that never says the name of the place. That makes 165 clues in English and 165 in Portuguese, each written in its own language rather than translated. Any clue can be rewritten, and you can add spots of your own with your own clue. For older players there is a puzzle layer: Caesar cipher, mirrored text and scrambled words. The output is ready for paper: numbered cards with cut lines, an organizer sheet that says where to hide each card and what the answer is, plain text to copy and sharing by WhatsApp. Everything runs in your browser, and the tool opens with a sample hunt already built.
Paste the code into your HTML and the tool shows up on your page, without J-Kit's navigation and ads. It still runs in the browser of whoever visits your site.

Choose 6 to 12 hiding spots, let the tool chain the order and print the cards. The first clue goes to the player, each later card is hidden at the previous spot and the last spot holds the treasure. With 55 ready-made spots at 3 original clues each, a set of 8 becomes 8 clue cards plus 1 final card, 9 cards in all.
In the print dialog, turn off "Headers and footers" and keep the scale at 100% so the cards print cleanly.
