How to Create a Scavenger Hunt

What could be more fun than a scavenger hunt? There are so many ways to conduct a scavenger hunt, and so many options. The last one I was on had us in groups scouring the city for hilarious combinations of kooky things to photograph. We finished off with some of the most ridiculous pictures I have ever seen in my life. Here's how you can create a fun scavenger hunt of your own.

Things You'll Need

• Paper
• Pencil

Instructions

1. Decide the goal of your hunt. Do you want good pictures? Do you want participants to leave with more knowledge? Do you want to just check experiences or places off your list?

2. Choose how participants will prove their participation. Will they get signatures of people at different places? Will that have to bring pictures? Will they have to fill in information on a sheet of paper? Write clear directions on how you want this carried out.

3. Create your list of point values for what will be scavenged. For example, if you need restaurant managers to sign off on a paper, assign 5 points for a McDonald's manager and 7 points for a steakhouse manager.

4. Do a trial run to make sure your hunt is doable.

5. Gather your hunters and have a blast.
