Nothing bonds the family or friends together more than a good fun game they can enjoy together. There are plenty of friends and family game night ideas, and one that both kids and adults love is a scavenger hunt. While a scavenger hunt is typically played outside, with colder months approaching, the game can be easily converted to play with objects found around the house (or inside its premises).
While you can come up with your own set of rules and clues, here at Bored Panda, we've combed the internet to find the best scavenger hunt clues (with answers!) to save you some precious time or serve as inspiration. Depending on the age and maturity of the players, you can adjust the difficulty of scavenger hunt clues by making the clues relatively easy for the little players and trickier for the more experienced ones.
Below, we've compiled a list of scavenger hunt clues around the house, some more tricky than others, so choose wisely! Did you use any of the indoor scavenger hunt clues we've provided? Let us know! Also, if you've come up with your own scavenger hunt ideas, share them in the comments and help the other Pandas out! And if you are looking for even more game night ideas, check out our recent posts featuring the best board games for a night in and classic board games.

When I was younger, my friends and I would so scavenger hunts, and also 'Car Tag'. We would hop in 2 cars. One car would stay while the other would drive to some random place and call the car that was 'it' with a clue to their location so you could find them. One time I remember one time getting a clue 'Queen Elizabeth the 1st.' So we found them at the apartment complex "Tudor Gardens".
