Les sortides a la natura en família
són el moment ideal per a
gaudir de la relació pares – fills
i alhora aprendre tots junts. Us
proposem una descoberta de les
dues zones que formen el Berguedà
mitjançant un ***joc de pistes***
que es desenvolupa al llarg
d’uns petits itineraris prèviament
seleccionats.
Al llarg d’aquests itineraris es
trobaran unes **proves** que ajuden
a aprendre diversos conceptes
.... La resolució de les proves us
conduirà a una fita, petit objecte
amagat que conté un codi i les
solucions a les proves que s’han
realitzat al llarg de l’itinerari.
...
From the description it seems like a treasure hunt, yet I'm reluctant to refer to treasure as it's not really for a prize, just a series of proves.
Any suggestions?
TIA:-)

treasure hunt
I would stick with 'treaure hunt'. I can't see any essential reason why the prize has to be anything other than winning. Please have a look at some of the treaure hunts on the web link below.

"hint hunt"
It is a fictitious term, but I think it gives the idea. Maybe leaving "joc de pistes" and then adding "a hint hunt" in parenthesis would be a better idea.
Have a great day.

a set of clues
I did a text like this a couple of weeks ago. The idea is for the tourist to follow a set of clues to get to the place they want to go to.
