Overhead Cost: $

Expected Return: $

Complexity: 1

Special Considerations

Be sure to plan the hunt route ahead of time so that it’s safe and fun for participants of all levels of ability.
Establish if participants can do it via car or on foot.
Consider having an alternate day in case of poor weather if your participants will be on foot.

This one takes a little bit of organizing, but if you can pull it off, there’s a lot of fun to be had. Social media can make scavenger hunts even easier – have your participants take photos of the items on their lists and use a hashtag to track them.
