HOW IT WORKS: This is an walking or driving scavenger hunt suitable for any area with shops and businesses (including malls).
- A note about doing this hunt in a mall: Some folks have told us that their local mall considered the scavenger hunt an "event" and it was therefore prohibited; others have told us that picture taking is not allowed. To be on the safe side, PLEASE check with the mall before showing up to do this hunt.
You'll need about 2 hours minimum for this hunt . Your
group will be divided into teams of up
to 10 people. Each team 
will receive
a collection bag (knapsack, duffle
bag or even a plastic shopping bag will do) containing
a digital camera, the hunt itself and various supplies.They
will then embark on the scavenger hunt, taking pictures, obtaining
specific items, solving brainteasers and completing a trivia quiz All the challenges are worth valuable points and there are some bonus point challenges as well. At the conclusion
of the hunt, the teams will prepare an optional final presentation while you “grade” their
challenge sheets to find the winners based on point
total (award certificates are included with this hunt). THE WINNING TEAM will
have had the most fun as a team while collecting the most points.
For the TEAM BUILDING VERSION of this scavenger hunt, there will
be added team meets where team members will move to other teams and additional
challenges (included) will be given out. At
the conclusion of the hunt, after the teams present a creative and inspiring
final presentation, we recommend you have a debriefing session using the team assessment form included with your kit.
TEAM OBJECTIVE: Form an efficient and effective team that communicates well, works by consensus and has a definite plan of action to complete this adventure hunt.
THIS IS WHAT THE TEAMS WILL BE MEASURED ON: 1) Their ability to complete this scavenger hunt by forming a successful, functional team that works by consensus and in which all members participate equally and with enthusiasm. 2) Their communication skills. 3) Their ability to find the hidden strengths in their team members. 4) Their ability to regularly review and evaluate team effectiveness and be willing to take action. 5) Their creative abilities. 6) Their point total.
*This scavenger hunt game will work in both large and small communities. You may need to do a bit of editing for very small towns but it's easy to do. Also to customize the hunt, you can easily add additional items, pictures and projects to the list using our hunt as a template/guide.
EXAMPLES: Scavenger hunt challenges are broken down into the following categories: 15 picture challenges, 20 collection challenges, a mini trivia quiz (5 questions) and 5 brainteasers to solve in exchange for play money and a final presentation (optional). We provide lots of different types of challenges to complete to keep it interesting, engaging and fun, fun, fun!
- Take a picture of your entire team looking like bored teenagers copping an attitude in front of a place you’d think teens would absolutely hate. Where are you and why did you select this place?
- What’s the cellular message? That’s it. You’ll know it when you get it; IF you get it. Be prepared. (More details on how to set this up are included in the hunt.)
- Collect some dog or cat kibble (worth 500 points); collect a bobby pin (worth 100 points).
NOTE: This
hunt is NOT a riddle hunt where one solves a riddle to find the item
or the next location. Brainteasers and quiz are not location
specific; we need to keep the challenges as generic as possible so they
will work anywhere in the world. We do include with your purchase our FREE 16-page how-to guide to designing a location to location riddle hunt for your city or town.
NUMBER OF TEAMS or PARTICIPANTS: Unlimited number of teams with a minimum of 3 or 4 to a maximum of 10 people per team. We do recommend one facilitator/helper for every 2-3 teams to keep things running smoothly, especially when you grade team efforts and tally up completed challenges.
What if you only have a few people participating in scavenger hunt? Instead of dividing them into teams, you can keep them all on one team and have them race against the clock, giving the single team a time limit to complete each section of the hunt (photos, find items, etc.), report back to you for the next section and so on until the hunt is complete.
LENGTH OF THE HUNT: 1 1/2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your group*: 5 minutes for opening instructions; 1 1/2 - 2 hours for the scavenger hunt and about 1/2 hour or more for the grading, (optional) team presentations and awards presentation. *The more teams you have, the more time it will take.
PRE-HUNT PREP TIME: For up to 6 teams, you can put our scavenger hunts together in about 4-6 hours (includes shopping for supplies, reading the scavenger hunt and prepping the materials); as you add teams, you'll need to add time to the pre-hunt prep. You mostly need to print (and perhaps edit) the documents included with the kit, pack the collection bags and you'll need to get team prizes, digital cameras and other inexpensive supplies like clipboards and pens. Our facilitator guide provides a supply checklist for you.
