Scavenger Hunt Ideas – How it all started

My daughter and me being silly

 

Hi my name is Fern,

and I love to organize Scavenger Hunts and come up with new Scavenger Hunt Ideas.

I have been collecting a whole bunch of scavenger hunt ideas through out the last couple of years for adults, teens and kids alike.

At one point a friend of mine gave me the idea to put up a website with a collection of the best scavenger hunt ideas we did.

You were probably searching the internet looking for Scavenger Hunt Ideas and scavenger hunt lists – now let me tell you, you’ve come to the right place!

Feel free to browse around my site, it will give you tons of great ideas for your Scavenger Hunt – I also included a couple of Scavenger Hunt Lists and a fun scavenger hunt Video.

Now, if you don’t want to waste any precious spare time to plan and set up a fun scavenger hunt, I am going to let you in on my personal secret.

I will tell you, how you can get a scavenger hunt underway in a matter of minutes.

While searching the internet for fun scavenger hunt ideas, just like you did, a while back I came across a neat website, which generates Scavenger Hunts for all age groups and themes in just minutes.

Do you think you can get a scavenger hunt up and running in less than 5 minutes?

If you would like to check it out for yourself, then

Or watch the video below to see the features they offer.

 

 

When I gave a copy of Riddle Me to my Brother the other day to see if it would help him, he came back with Glowing Reports. Check this out.

Wow, I didn’t realize how easy it was to entertain the tribe… All it took was five minutes to gather the items and hide them around the place. That software [Riddle Me] did the rest for me. Wow. Thanks heaps, sis.”

Now all I need to say is that my brother is not the most creative person around and he has always shied away from these sort of games because of it. But now the kids love him even more thanks to the fun of a scavenger hunt.

Here are the reasons, why I love and recommend this software:

  • You can generate and print out a Scavenger Hunt in a matter of minutes
  • You can use it to create a scavenger hunt for all age groups
  • It gives you ideas for tons of objects for inside and outside scavenger hunts
  • It has thousands of riddle clues
  • You can even create your own riddles
  • Create and print invitations and thank you cards
  • It won’t blow the bank (in fact it’s less than a twenty)
  • They have a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee!!

So don’t waste any more time than you need to, trying to entertain the tribe. Get yourself a copy of Riddle Me and enjoy all the extra time you have.

Don’t forget to post some feedback on my site on how you liked it, but I sure hope, you enjoy the Scavenger Hunt Ideas software as much as I do.

Adult Scavenger Hunt

Sure Scavenger Hunts have always been played and participated by kids, but it doesn’t mean that adults can’t share in the fun. Adult Scavenger Hunt is a fun and creative way of expressing your love to your special someone. A series of clues is needed in order to do this hunt. Of which the first one is the most important. Well, for one you don’t want the one you prepared the hunt for to misinterpret or overlook the sign that they are in fact on a Scavenger Hunt.

 

The first clue should instantly tell them about your purpose, that you want them to pursue the clues until the last one. The most important thing is, you should leave the clue in a place where they are sure to see it. And the clue should be obvious that they may not accidentally throw it away because of its discreetness.

 

For a more exciting and fun Scavenger Hunt, have them do things before reading the next clue or before proceeding with the course. You can have them change clothes say, into formal attire if the final destination is a dinner date, or even less of what they are already wearing, depending of course on your planned conclusion.

 

Don’t forget to set the mood. A soft music playing in the background, or their favorite rock and roll tune would surely make the Scavenger Hunt worth doing. Of course that’s if your location is indoors. But you can always extend your venue and make them search further, which is more exciting. Only you have to make sure your clues are safely hidden and inaccessible from other people outside of the Scavenger Hunt. And don’t make the Scavenger Hunt too long, or they might give up halfway through it. Although don’t make it too brief.

 

All it takes is a bit of creativity and your Adult Scavenger Hunt will surely be memorable.

Scavenger Hunt vs Treasure Hunt

This question is asked a lot and normally I get yelled at when I answer it because I believe there is no major difference between the two. One will have people collect things along the way and the other they will mark or record something about the clue along the way. Thats my definition and I am sticking to it :-) .

Do you think this is right? Post a comment and let us know what you think.
