Homeless Series - PeaceToday I happend to come across a very unique and innovative scavenger hunt idea that not only entertains but also provides a service back to the community. I a nut shell, the Third Level Crisis Intervention Center of Traverse City, Northern Michigan has decided to run a hunt that will see participants answer questions that homeless youth face on a daily basis.

The Scavenger Hunt will be help outdoors where each participant or team will be give a list of things like “find out where a homeless person can take a shower”. Each item will have a point value and in the end, the points are tallied and a winner will be awarded. Along with the hunt is an opportunity to raise money and a prize will be rewarded to the participant/team who gets the most.

Such a unique idea this is. Just goes to show that there are plenty of scavenger hunt ideas and some can be very worthy and more rewarding than winning the hunt.

So get your thinking caps on and see if you can come up with any great ideas that will serve as well as entertain. Post your ideas below or email us at team@scavengerhuntsecrets.com

Why not add a twist to your usual party activities by using some of these photo scavenger hunt ideas. For many years, people of all ages have used various games and challenges to pass the time with friends and family. While many people are satisfied with trivia games, board games and playing cards, others go a step further with scavenger hunts.

Family members and friends grow much closer when they share ideas about the best locations for those winning photos. With as few as half dozen people, divided into two teams (each with a camera) you can let your imagination run wild.

If you live near a metropolitan area you can go to the mall armed with a list of a dozen specific items that are offered in each store. Have the teams take a group photo with one of the members holding each item. Establish a time limit and arrange a place to meet when all the photos are taken.

One of the easier photo scavenger hunt ideas doesn’t involve leaving home. If you have a group of friends over for an evening, divide the group into two teams and give each team a camera. Make a list of items that might be found in the house and challenge the teams to find and photograph all the items in a set amount of time.

The possibilities for great photo scavenger hunts are almost limitless, ranging from photos taken in one room to those gathered throughout the neighborhood. You’ll be thrilled with the fund you can have with an inexpensive camera and a couple of hours of free time.

Well Fox and the Simpson’s have certainly put on a winner for their 20th anniversary this year. They have decided to do a good old Scavenger Hunt to help celebrate this remarkable milestone they have reached. To pull this off, Fox have gone all out and stuffed Simpson’s characters all over other prime time shows. And it may not just be the cameo appearances, there are rumours of merchandising showing up in some of the shows.

Could this be the future of scavenger hunt ideas?

Nowadays with access to You Tube, Flicka and the like, it makes for interesting scenes for scavenger hunts, particularly on the internet. Imagine a picture hunt on a service like Flicka where you search for certain keywords then need to find certain photos or drawings. Never has it been so easy to image such Scavenger Hunt Ideas and more importantly pull them off.

Ahh my brain has gone into overdrive thinking about the possibilities.

I’d love to here yours. Either post a comment below or send your ideas to team@scavengerhuntideasblog.com.

Halloween Scavenger Hunt Prizes, what to give the winner as a gift?

You’ve got the list items all sorted, your guests have all confirmed they are coming and the decorations for the night have been put up. Now for the prize for the winner. What does one give on a Halloween Scavenger Hunt to the winner?

There are many choices really. From scary Halloween costumes, to masks, or a photo of a cemetry, but a really memorable prize would be a photograph of them out on the hunt, on a digital camera and printed off whilst the hunt is still on, then framed in a Halloween styled frame. Or you could give the winner goblets, black and red candles, black jewellery, a certificate written in red ink that looks like gross blood. Or why not treat them to a night out on the town.

The choices are endless when it comes to Halloween. Just use your imagination and think about things that you would like to win if you were a hunter on Halloween.

Happy Halloween Hunting :)

Halloween KidsSo, you’ve decided to have a Halloween Scavenger Hunt. Time is running out and you’re panicking as to how you’re going to entertain all the people attending your hunt.

Being Halloween, there’s no better time than to hold a scary, ghoulish type hunt. If you have run out of time and are unable to buy too many items for your hunters to find, another really great option for keeping them entertained and busy is to purchase cheap throw away cameras, and pick scary Halloween type places and objects around your hunt area for your hunters to find and photograph. Instead of picking the winner, by who has the most on the items list, a prize can be given to the first person or team that manage to photograph all the items on the list you will have written up and be the first back to a particular place still with camera.

The best part about this option, is that once the hunt is over, if you wanted to collect all the cameras you could get them developed send them to your friends and have a great time laughing over all the silly pictures.

If children are attending your hunt, a great way to keep them occupied is buy packets of candy, like snakes, chocolate frogs, and other scary looking foods that only kids love. If children are to stay inside, place items around the house or back yard and have your hunt there. You would be surprised how excited children get, when they are scavenging for stuff in their own yards.

Don’t forget to have some Halloween decorations for the house, and if the weather outside isn’t too great, organize a hunting game inside, for both adults and children.

You could hide items around your house, just make sure nothing can be broken, supply lists to find the items, bring food, like chocolate mousse with wriggly worms in it, and make bright red punch with floating eyeballs in it. There are so many ways your imagination can flourish.

If you don’t wish your house to be the centre of your hunt, find a hall, or pick a restaurant and hold it there. Either way, let your creative side come out and make a hunt to remember.

Howdy

Today I had one of those opportunities to run an impromtu hunt (thanks to the weather) so I thought I’d shoot a video on how I did it. The hunt took less than 5 minutes to set up and the kids had a blast.

All in all a success I think.

So here’s the video on how I did it (in case you ever need to know ;-) )

Hey Hunters

I’ve been chatting to a lot of you recently and feeling for you when you tell me that you just don’t know where to begin. Check out this little video I put together for you.

And when your done, here’s your link.

Scavenger Hunt Secrets

Thanks and Enjoy.

Have you seen it yet? KidRock, a New York Kids Toy and Fashion company is running a scavenger hunt with a bit of a twist. They have taken the hugely popular QR code (a type of barcode) format that can be read with the use of a free reader loaded onto your mobile and placed them around New York City. For evey QR Code (or Dunny code as they like to call ‘em) you find your collection of Virtual Dunnys Grow.

This hunt starts on August 31st 2009 and will continue until 10th September 2009. If your up for it, simply visit the Dunny Scavenger Hunt site and join in the fun.

——————-

Now this does just show you how easy it is to come up with Scavenger Hunt Ideas. Although QR Codes may be a little bit out of reach for you to create, how about a Photo Scavenger Hunt. Every mobile camera in the last 5 years have come with one. I bet anyone you invite to a hunt would have one too. Here’s a few easy steps for you to take to get you hunt underway.

  1. List a few things around town that people can take photos of. Get creative here. Maybe use things like Buildings or street signs.
  2. Go to Google Maps and mark the position of each item on the map.
  3. Write a simple clue for each item and link it to the relevant location on the map.
  4. Create a docuemnt with the map and clues on it and hand it out.
Quite simple really. Give it a go and let us know how you get on.
