Scavenger Hunts
The television programme ‘Amazing Race’ has breathed new life into an old fundraising idea - scavenger hunts. A scavenger hunt is, quite simply, an event where teams are challenged to find clues, visit places, or perform tasks in order to win the game. The scavenger hunt can take place all over the city, or within specified boundaries as stated by you. Teams are charged an entry fee, with one grand prize up for grabs.
Some ideas for a scavenger hunt include:
Ask participants to take digital photographs of their team members at various locations. Do not tell them exactly where, they must decipher the location from a series of clues. Then, see if they are correct when they return with the photos.
Ask participants to take digital photographs of their team performing various challenges.
Give participants a series of clues that will help them find specific locations. At each location they must find a pre-placed symbol or flag to prove they were there.
Ask participants to collect a list of items from around your city.
However you organise your hunt, make sure you provide plenty of time for your participants to complete the challenges safely. |
