Scavenger Hunt Ideas

A scavenger hunt is a game in which individuals or teams search for items on the scavenger list or sometimes the list requires that certain tasks must be completed and documented.

While completing the whole list is one of the goals of the game, a scavenger hunt may be won by the person or group that completes the most items on the list. If the items have different score values, it may even be possible to win the game without completing the most items, but rather completing the most difficult items.

Depending on the game, some scavenger hunts are straight-forward and provide lists of items or tasks to be collected, photographed or documented in some way. Scavenger hunts can also be made far more challenging by requiring that clues must first be deciphered in order to figure out what items need to be found. It's up to you how challenging you want to make th game.
