HOW IT WORKS: This is an outdoor walking or driving scavenger hunt suitable for any area with shops and businesses (including malls). *This scavenger hunt 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.
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, 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 3 to 10 people.
Each team will receive a collection bag containing
a digital camera (or smart phones),
their challenge sheet - the hunt itself - and various supplies. They
will then embark on the scavenger hunt, taking pictures, obtaining specific
items and completing a creative project. 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, effective and enthusiastic team that communicates well, works by consensus
and has a definite plan of action to complete this adventure hunt. The team that does this the best will be your outstanding team of the day. (While points matter, outstanding team work matters more for this version of the game.)
EXAMPLES: Our Town hunt includes 20 photo challenges (they'll make GREAT memories of the day), find items (15), a fun and creative project and a final team presentation (optional). We provide lots of different types of challenges to complete to keep it interesting, engaging and fun, fun, fun!
1.
Collect an unusual, clever or creative item. Bonus points to the team that brings back the most unusual item.
2. Have your most artistic team member collaborate with someone you've
never met to draw a picture. Take a picture of them in action.
3. Take a picture of 3 of your team members with a construction worker.
You must be in the classic Village People "YMCA" pose.
REVIEW: "Susan, Operation Our Town scavenger hunt was a HUGE success at my family reunion!! We ALL - everyone - had a great time. The interaction was exactly what was needed. You learn a lot about people through such activities. I can't wait to try another one of your hunts. By the way I liked to read what others thought about the product before buying and I love that you communicate with your audience - it adds such a personal touch! Wonderful!" - Andrea Johnson, Baltimore, MD
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: 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your group*: 5 minutes for opening instructions; a minimum of 1 1/2 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. Also if you're driving to various locations instead of just walking, you'll need to add in time.
For the team building versions of the hunts, allow 2 - 4+ hours, depending on
the size of your group: 15-20 minutes for
opening
instructions,
warm up game and team organization; 1 1/2 - 2 hours for the hunt
and about 1/2 hour (or more) for grading,
team presentations, awards and optional but recommended team assessment discussion.
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.
