A photo scavenger hunt is a fun alternative to the traditional way we play the scavenger hunt. Instead of just ticking off every item we find on the list, we can take photos of them or utilize the photos themselves as a list.
This game can be played using any camera. Digital cameras, disposable ones and even cell phone cameras can be used for the hunt. The first obvious way of doing this is to take photos of the items you want found.
To make the game more interesting you can make different sets of photos of different items for each of your teams or players. These photos will take the place of the conventional list. Once the game has ended you can opt to develop the disposable cameras to check them. Or if you are using the camera phone or a digital camera you can save costs by plugging them in your computer for checking or simply browse through the saved images.
A variation of the game would be to look for the items using the photos. Take pictures of various things you want and then distribute these photos to your teams or players. Again, you may or may not give them the same photos.
You can hold a photo scavenger hunt indoors or outdoors. You can include some things which would be hard to take a photo of like your neighbor’s bathroom or his basement. Wherever this game may be held it is sure to be a barrel of laughs.
