My friend Laurie from World Traveling Military Family recently introduced me to Scavenger Hunt Adventures, a Kid’s Book Series for the traveling family. Scavenger Hunt Adventures is a family-owned, family-operated enterprise and the author, Catherine, offered to send me a copy of MISSION Rome to check out for myself. And now we are having a giveaway for 3 lucky winners to win a book of their choice from the 5 titles available!
Here’s some info from their website:
The Scavenger Hunt Adventures series takes young travellers through the famous sights of cities, engaging them with exciting scavenger hunt activities as you explore famous landmarks together.
Say “adiós/au revoir/arrivederci/good-bye” to trips filled with the stress of keeping everyone entertained. Instead, say “hola/bonjour/buongiorno/hello” to memorable vacations, with your kids excited to explore the sights with you!
The missions ensure fun trips for everyone with captivating, spy-theme scavenger hunts packed with fun activities and the fascinating stories behind city landmarks.
The books are available from Amazon as hard copy or e-book depending on your preference. Here are some sample pages of MISSION Rome!
I also LOVE that your kid can get a “Special Agent Certificate” from Scavenger Hunt Adventures once he or she completes the mission!
The series currently includes London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, and Washington D.C., with New York, Amsterdam, and Florence coming soon.
Check out the website: www.ScavengerHuntAdventures.com and Facebook Fan Page to stay up to date with the newest info. And don’t forget to enter the giveaway below – there will be 3 lucky winners to win a book of your choice from the titles below!

The Scavenger Hunt Adventures series seems like the PERFECT way to get kids interested in learning more about different cultures and customs! I love it <3
Jamie says
I totally agree! It’s not just a busy activity to keep them quiet, it will engage and educate them as well.
Joy | The Joyful Foodie says
My kids are still young for these, but I *love* that they exist! What a great way to get kids interested and excited about exploring new cities. I know I would have loved these when I was a child bored, wandering around on vacations with my parents.
Jamie says
I would have loved these as a kid too. My son is almost four and he’s just getting to the age where these books will be really fun on our upcoming trips.
Katrina Kaminaka says
This is Awesome!! I wish we books like this when I was growing up!!
Jamie says
I feel the same way, Katrina! Thanks for stopping by :)

Whoo hoo! Fun books that take some of the burden off me. I’m telling ya, my kids are always asking me about other places and I don’t have a clue…I’m always googling some place because “I don’t know” doesn’t fly with my kids so well ;)
Jamie says
I know, I never do enough research before going to a new city and I always feel like I should have… These books are nice because they have all the info that will be interesting for parents as well.
Cara (@StylishGeek) says
Wow! That’s a fantastic read! I wish Scavenger Hunt Adventures was around when my kid was younger. That would have been a cool book to read. Nevertheless I will highly recommend it to my young nephews! :)
Jamie says
Thanks Cara!

Cynthia says
These are so cute that I feel like you don’t even need kids to enjoy them :) Although I’m sure kids would love it and it’s a great way of making them a part of your trip and giving them some ownership of it.
Jamie says
Hey Cynthia! I agree. They are also good for the young at heart ;)

I used to be a fan of books that are kind of like this when I was younger. It’s nice that they now have it in e-book.
Ricci says
This sounds like a great book for kids! Is it bad that I kind of want it for myself??
Jamie says
Not at all! I’m totally going to use it on our upcoming trip to Rome!
Michelle @ Mishfish13 says
Hahaha this would be a great idea for my imaginary kids! But seriously, these remind me of some workbooks that we used to have in class to help problem-solving abilities haha. I wish my current work was just as fun and easy ;)
Jamie says
I agree! I wish I could sit at a desk with all my friends and fill out workbooks and then call it a day lol
Lyn (aka) The Travelling Lindfields says
What a great idea! Why is it all these fantastic things have come out after my children grew up.
Jamie says
So true! There are so many amazing kid’s activities and games that have come out recently promoting world travel and learning about other cultures. I think that stuff was always out there to some extent, but with the internet it’s so much easier to find! Thanks for reading, Lyn!
Penny @ OnePennyTourist says
These look brilliant – I will have to check out the London one for sure. I don’t have kids, it’ll be for me, haha!
Jamie says
I think they would be really fun for adults too!

I’m with Penny – I want these for me! Thanks for introducing them to us.
