How to Set Up
- Prep the Stones: Gather 6 distinct items per team representing the cosmic powers: Space (Blue), Reality (Red), Power (Purple), Mind (Yellow), Time (Green), and Soul (Orange). Use colored gems, painted river rocks, or plastic eggs.

- Stagger the Circuits: Write 6 numbered clue cards per team. Assign each team a different starting station to avoid hallway pileups and keep squads moving in opposite directions.
- Equip the Squads: Hand each team an empty pouch, basket, or paper "Infinity Gauntlet" scorecard with 6 blank slots to hold their findings.
The 30-Second Host Script
💡 Host Takeaway & Quick Tip"Avengers, assemble! Six cosmic Infinity Stones are hidden across our base: Space, Reality, Power, Mind, Time, and Soul. Your team gets one initial clue. Solve the riddle, run to the sector, claim your team's colored stone, and unlock your next clue. Only grab the stone marked for your team! The first squad to collect all six gems, return to base, and shout 'I am inevitable' saves the universe. In three, two, one, hunt!"
How to Play: Step-by-Step Rules
- Form Your Strike Teams: Split players into balanced groups of 2 to 4 people and assign each squad an identifier (like Team Iron Man or Team Captain America).
- Distribute First Clues: Hand each team their sealed clue envelope at home base. Make sure each squad begins with a clue leading to a different location.
- Solve and Sprint: Read the clue together, decipher the hidden spot, and move as a complete unit to the target area.
- Retrieve Your Specific Stone: Take only the stone marked for your team along with the next clue envelope. Never touch or hide another team's stones.
- Advance Along the Path: Open the next envelope, solve the clue, and race to the following station until all 6 stones rest safely in your collection pouch.
- Snap into Home Base: Rush back to the host, slot all 6 stones into your gauntlet, and strike a heroic pose to stop the game clock.
How to Win and Break a Tie
The first team to return to home base with all six correct Infinity Stones placed on their gauntlet scorecard wins the match. If two teams cross the line at the same second, run the Cosmic Snap Tiebreaker: select one player from each team to stand 8 feet away from a bucket and toss 3 ping-pong balls. The player who lands the most balls in 20 seconds claims the galaxy.
Variations for Every Group
- Kids Version: Replace tricky word puzzles with clear picture cards (like a photo of the refrigerator handle) or simple rhyming couplets, and hide large plastic eggs stuffed with hero stickers.
- Adults Version: Require players to answer hard MCU film trivia or complete 10 jumping jacks together before they can open the next clue envelope.
- Large-Group (15+) Version: Hide 30+ loose stones randomly across a large yard. Send teams on an open-field scramble to locate one of each color while avoiding a roaming "Thanos" tagger who sends tagged players back to base for a 30-second penalty.
- Budget Swap: Skip acrylic gems and color 6Index cards or paper cups with matching colored markers.
Host Tips and Common Mistakes
- Supply Warning: Small plastic craft gems present a serious choking hazard for children under 3. Use 2-inch painted wooden craft blocks or plush toys if toddlers are attending.
- Common Pitfall: Teams tailgating the leaders. Stop teams from copying each other by setting completely different clue sequences for every squad so no two groups visit the same spot at the same time.
- Safety Note: Tape down loose floor rugs and enforce a strict walking-only rule on indoor staircases before releasing the players.
- Host Pro-Tip: Keep a master cheat sheet on your phone with the exact location and clue for every stone so you can offer quick hints to teams that stall for more than 3 minutes.

Infinity Stones Scavenger Hunt: Marvel Party Race FAQ
How many players can participate in the Infinity Stones Scavenger Hunt?

What age is the Infinity Stones Scavenger Hunt suitable for?
The hunt is designed for ages 6 to adult. For children under 8, swap complex word riddles for simple photo clue cards or rhyming couplets. For adults and teens, require squads to solve tough MCU trivia or complete physical challenges like ten jumping jacks before opening their next clue.
How long does a full round of the Infinity Stones Scavenger Hunt take?
A standard round takes 15 to 30 minutes from the initial countdown to the final gauntlet snap, plus about 15 minutes of host prep time beforehand. Keep a master cheat sheet of all clue locations on your phone to feed quick hints to teams stalled on a puzzle for more than 3 minutes.
What can you use instead of colored craft gems for the stones?
You can use painted river rocks, colored plastic Easter eggs, or simple index cards colored with matching markers. If young children or toddlers are nearby, avoid small glass craft gems to eliminate choking hazards and use two-inch painted wooden craft blocks instead.

Break a photo-finish tie with the Cosmic Snap Tiebreaker. Have one player from each tied team stand 8 feet away from a bucket and toss three ping-pong balls. The player who sinks the most balls in 20 seconds wins the game for their squad.
