HOW
IT WORKS: This is an walking scavenger hunt for Union Square
and Yerba Buena Gardens. You'll need about 2 hours minimum for this hunt (unless you remove some challenges). Your group will be divided into teams of up to 10 people. Each team will receive a collection bag (knapsack, duffle bag or even a plastic shopping bag will do) containing a digital camera, their challenge sheet - the hunt itself - and various supplies. They will then embark on the scavenger hunt, taking pictures, obtaining specific items, completing a creative project and a San Francisco trivia quiz. All the challenges are worth valuable points and there are some bonus point challenges as well. At the conclusion of the hunt, the teams will prepare an optional final presentation while you “grade” their challenge sheets to find the winners based on point total (award certificates are included with this hunt). THE WINNING TEAM will have had the most fun as a team while collecting the most points.
EXAMPLES: Scavenger
hunt challenges are broken down into the following categories: 20 picture
challenges, 14 collection challenges, a mini San Francisco trivia quiz (8
questions), a fun and creative project and a final team presentation (optional). Lots of different types of challenges to complete to keep it interesting, engaging and fun, fun, fun!
- Take a picture of your entire team looking wicked and naughty (use
your imaginations!) on what was known during the Barbary Coast era
as “the wickedest street on earth”. Where are you and why did
the street have such a reputation?
- Collect an item to prove you visited the Union Square bar with the red
velvet couches, gilt-colored walls, cherubic women dancing on the ceiling
and extravagant chandeliers. Their specialty drinks include Yellow Snow,
Candy Cane and Strawberry Shortcake. And they only accept cash. This
is a very specific location – no creative substitutions here.
- Trivia quiz question: What Francis Ford Coppola movie was filmed in the
central plaza on Union Square and in what year was it filmed?
NOTE: This
hunt is NOT a riddle hunt where one solves a riddle to find the item or the
next location.
AGE RANGE: Age 14* to
adult (* If you have any questions about this hunt being
suitable for your children, please contact us).
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.
