What it does

Pre-filtered to scavenger-friendly items

Only items plausibly findable in a typical home or yard are included. The full 400+ catalog is filtered to a curated subset.

Pick count, location, and age

5/10/15/20/25 items. Indoor / outdoor / either. Age ranges 5–7, 8–10, 11–13, 14+, or mixed — younger ages get easier vocabulary (CEFR A1–A2).

Printable list

A4 / Letter compatible. Two-column print layout with checkboxes, emojis at print-friendly size, and where-to-look hints.

Re-roll any single row

Each row has a re-roll button so you can swap individual items without regenerating the whole list.

CSV export

Export the list as a CSV with checkbox column, name, and hint — useful for digital scoring sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the age range used?

It maps to a CEFR English-vocabulary proxy. Ages 5–7 get only A1–A2 items, ages 8–10 add B1, and older ranges include all levels.

Are the items realistic to find?

Yes. The scavenger-hunt subset only includes items plausibly findable in a typical home, yard, park, or street.

Can I print directly from the page?

Yes. The Print button uses your browser print dialog. The print stylesheet hides nav and footer chrome and produces a clean two-column layout.

Can I share the same list with someone else?

Yes. Press Share to copy a permalink that reproduces your settings. The actual items are deterministic — same settings + same seed = same list.

Is there a CSV export?

Yes. Choose "Export scavenger CSV" from the Export menu — produces a CSV with a checkbox column, item name, and hint.
