Halloween

Celebrate your next Halloween with a fun Halloween scavenger Hunt. It's a fun and exiciting game for teens and adults.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Envelopes
Cutouts
Marker

Step 1

To start making your scavenger hunt game, you will need to choose destinations for your players to go to. Destinations can be places that you will place decorations. So as an example you may put a tombstone out in your front yard. The tombstone will be your destination.
Step 2

To lead your players to destinations, create poems, riddles and puzzles. Using the same destination as above the tombstone for an example, you might make a riddle saying "Rest In Peace. Beneath the earth. The moon lit sky his body lays." Bold the R, the I and The P in "Rest In Peace. The players then would need to figure out to look for a tombstone. They may remember seeing it as they entered the party.
Step 3

Next get a package of envelopes and label each envelope with a word related to Halloween. For example write the word Bats in the center of one envelope and Ghost in the center of the next envelope. Then in the corners of each envelope label them A,B,C and D. You will an envelope labeled for however many destinations you will have. If you will have teams you will need a set for each team. (Halloween words you can use are Bats, Ghost, Witches, Vampires, Jack-o-Lantern and etc.)
Step 4

At your destinations have a cutout with one of the words that you have chosen and two of the letters on your envelope, attached somewhere on the destination. So for an example Bats A-C would be on the tombstone. This would tell the players to find envelope labeled Bats and open the envelope by tearing corners A to C.
Step 5

Stuff the envelopes with single clues that your players will open as they find new destinations. Give each team a packet with the envelopes. Let the players know which envelope to open first. (This envelope will not need to be labeled with any letters.) The players who finish the scavenger hunt first are the winners.
