Whether your scavenger hunt is for group competition or just fun, add a tech twist and let the games begin.
You Will Need
- A game plan with clues
- Cell phones
- A sense of adventure
- Accomplice
Step 1: Charge up phones
All hunt participants must have a charged cell phone, so alert everyone involved ahead of time, and then charge your own.
Step 2: Text some directions
Start by texting the participants a location and time. When they text you back to say they’re there, let them know the hunt has begun!
Step 3: Issue a picture challenge
Issue a picture challenge. Make the hunters take a series of pictures and send them back to you within a time limit. Then give out the next clue.
Step 4: Create math problems
Create a math problem for them to solve. Make the solution the next number they have to call.
Step 5: Use riddles
Use riddles to spur them on to their next stop.
Step 6: Have them complete activities
Have the hunters jump through a series of creative hoops. Of course you’ll need proof, so make them send you video of themselves doing the deed.
Step 7: Composite your final clue
Make your final clue a combination of the other clues, like a pictogram or another puzzle. When they connect all the dots, the wild goose chase is over—reward them!
Since 1987, students at the University of Chicago have annually hosted the world’s largest scavenger hunt. Past items have included a live elephant and a superconductor.
