# Audio Treasure Hunt Apps Color Clues Helps Kids Participate in Treasure Hunts Before They Can Read By Jesse Foote | Published 2018-10-22 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treasure-hunts References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/766307938/color-clues-treasure-hunts-for-kids-of-all-ages) & [colorclues](http://colorclues.com/) Kids love treasure hunts but they're hard to make. It takes time to come up with good clues, write it all out and get everything set up. And, if a kid can't yet read, then each clue has to be read to them and that takes away from their sense of accomplishment for solving the hunt. Color Clues solves all of this. Setting up treasure hunts is as easy as placing sequences of colors around the house. Kids tap those colors into an app, which then plays the [audio clues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qubitunes), leading them to more colors that unlock more clues and so on, to the end. They can solve entire treasure hunts completely on their own. The game comes pre-loaded with lots of great treasure hunts and also provides an easy interface to create your own treasure hunts. The treasure hunts users create can then be shared with other users, building an ever-growing database of content dreamed up by people all over the world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Treasure Hunt Games:** Color Clues app introduces an interactive way for kids to solve treasure hunts using audio clues and color sequences, enhancing their sense of accomplishment. - **User-generated Content in Gaming:** Color Clues allows users to create and share their own treasure hunts, fostering a community-driven database of interactive content. - **Accessible Gaming for Preschoolers:** Color Clues provides a solution for preschoolers who can't read yet, allowing them to participate and enjoy treasure hunts with audio clues and color recognition. ### Who This Affects Most - **Educational Technology:** Color Clues app presents an educational solution that combines gaming and learning in an interactive treasure hunt experience. - **Mobile Gaming:** Color Clues taps into the mobile gaming industry by offering an immersive and engaging treasure hunt experience accessible through smartphones and tablets. - **Children's Entertainment:** Color Clues app caters to the children's entertainment industry by providing a fun and interactive way for kids to engage in treasure hunts, promoting creativity and problem-solving skills. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multimedia Treasure Hunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madoks-interactive-treasure-hunt.md) - [Kids Drawing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-coloring-drawing-book-app.md) - [Color Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colormix.md) - [AI ABC Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abc-finder.md) - [Color Capture Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huntercolor.md) - [Real-World Adventure Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratch-earth.md) - [AI-Powered Adventure Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globe-chaser.md) - [Interactive Color Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-guess-game.md) - [Screen-Free Audio Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qubitunes.md)
