| A find items scavenger hunt with a special mission thrown in for good measure.
Walking or driving designed for any area with shops and businesses (including
malls). |
HOW IT WORKS: You'll
need about 2 hours minimum for this hunt (unless
you remove some challenges). You will need to hold this scavenger
hunt in an area with shops and businesses*. Your
group will be divided into teams of up to 10 people.
Each team will receive a collection bag, a collections list consisting of
about 80 items (each item is given a point value depending
on the degree of difficulty in obtaining said item) and part one of
the covert mission called Mission: Cloak and Dagger. The teams will then
embark on the scavenger hunt. During the scavenger hunt, they’ll
need to meet with undercover operative(s) - usually your facilitator(s) - to
receive additional Cloak and Dagger objectives. Their ultimate goal in Mission
Cloak and Dagger is to collect pieces of a coded puzzle and decipher it for
HUGE bonus points.
*This hunt will work in both large and small communities.
You may need to do a small amount of editing for very small towns but it's easy
to do because it's formatted in Microsoft Word. If
you want to keep this hunt in your neighborhood – no shops and businesses
involved, here’s how you might adapt the hunt: Select items from
the list of 70 items we provide with this hunt (or use it as inspiration
as you look at items you can use in your house) and plant enough of each
item for EACH team around your property and neighborhood. You could also
give some willing neighbors items for the teams to collect. In addition
you can enlist a neighbor be the secret agent they need to find to collect
the puzzle pieces of the Mission Cloak and Dagger. More details are provided
in the hunt package.
Item List – Collection
Examples.
- Category 1, worth 100 points each: Something
Irish - can not be an actual person
- Category 2, worth 75 points each: A magnet or
something magnetic
- Category 3, worth 50 points each: A dog biscuit
- Category 4, worth 25 points each: A bottle cap
NOTE: This hunt is NOT riddle hunt where one solves a riddle to find the item
or the next location.
AGE RANGE: Age 10 to
adult.
NUMBER OF TEAMS or PARTICIPANTS:Unlimited number of teams with a minimum of 3 or 4 to a maximum of 10 people per team. We do recommend one facilitator/helper for every 2-3 teams to keep things running smoothly, especially when you grade team efforts and tally up completed challenges.
LENGTH OF THE HUNT: 2 to 4
hours, depending on the size of your group*: 5 minutes for opening instructions
and team organization; 1 1/2 - 2 hours for the scavenger hunt and about 1/2
hour or more for the grading, (optional) team presentations and awards presentation. *The
more teams you have, the more time it will take.
PRE-HUNT PREP TIME: For up to 6 teams, you can
put our scavenger hunts together in about 4-6 hours (includes shopping for supplies,
reading the scavenger hunt and prepping the materials); as you add teams, you'll
need to add time to the pre-hunt prep. You mostly need to print (and perhaps
edit) the documents included with the kit, pack the collection bags and you'll
need to get team prizes, digital
cameras and other inexpensive supplies like clipboards and pens. Our
facilitator guide provides a supply checklist for you.
