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.

International Scavenger Hunt Party

An International Scavenger Hunt Party is one way to hold a costume party, only more fun and colorful, especially because of the scavenger hunt. You should first divide your guests into groups of six an ample time before your Scavenger Hunt Party. Each group is a specific continent in the world.

Guests in a group should come to the party wearing clothes people wear in that continent. For instance, a guest belonging to Asia could come in a Japanese kimono, or Dutch clothing and wooden shoes for Europe. The group then gets a list of things to look for in different locations. The things they will look for should be things that represent their continent assignment.

Flags can also be used in place of the different hidden items. The group should correctly identify each flag as their own. Make sure each group searches for equal number of items. This isn’t possible if you’re having them search for flags, because some continents have very few countries. Supply the deficiency with items from that continent.

Finally, the food you prepare should have international touch to it in keeping with the theme.
