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.

Movie scenes are a good example. You can use famous lines from movies and have the players act them out using their own interpretation. One for example is a line from the movie Spiderman: “With great power comes great responsibility”. You will surely have several different interpretations of this particular movie line at the end of the photo scavenger hunt.

To have more options and to be more fun, this photo scavenger hunt is best done in groups of three to six. As for the interpretation, anything goes. Since the goal of the photo scavenger hunt is for the players to have fun, they can fool around while doing the acting, just as long as they are still interpreting the lines.

A time limit should be set for completing the list. When the time runs out, the teams will have to meet and turn up their photos which could be printed out or viewed directly from the digital camera LCD. Winners will then be determined.

The scavenger hunt couples play is considered an adult scavenger hunt. Either of the couple can initiate the game by leaving a clue, the first of a series, in a place where the other can easily find it. Without personally informing the intended player, they must be able to easily get the idea and follow the trail depending on what is written on the first clue. Hence, the first clue is very important, as well as the place and time of deploying it when the intended player has no idea of the plan.

Another way of playing an adult scavenger hunt is by making the list harder than what kids usually complete in a scavenger hunt. Modify the list by involving harder stuff. These can be technical, scientific or anything any adult player would appreciate. Making the scavenger hunt more physical may also be done, depending on the players. Preparing the right kind of list is the only key to getting a good adult scavenger hunt going.

The use of GPS or Global Positioning System to search around for items is also appealing to adults. A scavenger hunt that involves this type of modern technology is definitely something any adult would want to take part in.
