Scavenger Hunts

If you’re looking for a precursor to your party, there’s no better way than having a thematic scavenger hunt. There’s no explanation for the popularity or success of scavenger hunts, but people love them just the same. Whether it’s in grade school or the nursing home, the idea of a scavenger hunt will have everyone excited to play.

Why not make a scavenger hunt part of your party? Starting the night out with a scavenger hunt will really get things going and will provide tons of fun stories for the remainder of the party. For most scavenger hunts, we suggest a time limit of either 2 or 3 hours. Your guests will find it quite a challenge to finish this list in that time.

We provide you a list and meet you again at the finish line. You provide the rest. Your friends, their cars, a digital camera or camera phone, marker, copies of the game sheets, and intestinal fortitude should do it. Divide your group into teams that will fit in one car each. Typically this means of 3-4 people per group but teams of 2 can have just as much fun. Each group will have at least one copy of the task list.

After the hunt, when the time period expires the group will meet up with the rest of the party at a predetermined destination. We will help make the arrangements for a great experience. We'll tally up the points as you share your stories of this memorable night. The winning team will be announced later in the evening, as you enjoy some food and drinks.

Scavenger Hunt Themes

Around Town Scavenger Hunt

Planning a fun night out with the guys/girls? Why not try an around town scavenger hunt. All you need is a couple of lists, transportation, and possibly one camera per team.

Door-to-Door Scavenger Hunt

Use this door-to-door scavenger hunt in a neighbourhood that you are comfortable and familiar with and always travel in teams, making safety your first priority.

Bachelor/Bachelorette Road Trip Scavenger Hunts

Planning a bachelor/bachelorette party? Do you want to travel the open roads and visit new and exciting places together? Why not plan a road trip scavenger hunt to add to the adventure. For this hunt you will have to take photos, videotape scenarios and collect items.

Mall Scavenger Hunts

Mall scavenger hunts can be a lot of fun provided common courtesy is exercised. Remember you will be playing where other people are doing business. Even if your prime objective is to have fun, the store owners want to make money and provide a pleasurable shopping experience for their customers.

Mall Photo Scavenger Hunt

What could be more fun on a Saturday than a Mall Photo Scavenger Hunt? Gather some friends and cameras, divide into teams and make a few copies of the list below. The first team back with a picture of each of the items listed wins.

Best Buy Scavenger Hunt

Your mission for this scavenger hunt is to find the lowest price in the mall for specific items.

Alphabet Shopping Hunt

For this hunt each team is allowed to spend $10 total or whatever amount you agree upon beforehand. It is best to keep the amount minimal, since that increases the difficulty of the hunt. The teams must search the mall for items beginning with each letter of the alphabet (26 total) and buy them. They must also bring back a receipt for every item purchased. This is definitely an exercise in creativity.

Colour Me “Pink” Shopping Hunt

This hunt follows the same instructions as the one above. The only difference is that teams must search for items in a particular color instead of items representing the letters of the alphabet.

The winning team is the team that brings back the most "pink" items (or whatever colour you choose beforehand).

Crazy Christmas Scavenger Hunt

A Crazy Christmas Scavenger hunt is perfect for an office party or a family Christmas party. It involves setting up unusual Christmas items in the hunt area prior to the party. Guests must then walk about and try to determine what Christmas items seem odd or out of place.

Camp Stuff Hunt

This camp stuff hunt consists of a mishmash list of items that can be found in nature, and in and around cabins or tents.

Bridal Shower Scavenger Hunt

An indoor bridal shower scavenger hunt can be the perfect way to get your guests to mingle and loosen up.
