Objective of the Game
The objective of a Scavenger Hunt is for teams or individuals to solve various tasks or riddles and find items spread across a defined area. The first player or team to complete all tasks and reach the objectives wins the game.
Preparation
- Planning: A game leader or group organizes the hunt by creating a list of tasks and items that participants must find or solve.
- Set Route: The game leader determines where the clues and items are hidden and plans paths or locations the players must visit during their hunt.
- Materials: You need a list of the tasks/riddles (on paper or digitally), possibly maps, pens, and any special materials needed for specific tasks.
- Briefing: Before the game starts, the leader gathers all participants and explains the rules, the area, and how the game will proceed.
Procedure
- Starting Signal: All participants or teams start simultaneously on a signal from the game leader.
- Solving Tasks: Teams move from place to place solving tasks. These can be riddles, answering questions, or physical challenges.
- Finding Items: Some tasks require finding specific items, which can be visibly located or well-hidden, depending on the difficulty.
- Order of Tasks: Tasks must be completed either in a specific sequence or can be done in any order, depending on the game leader's instructions.
- End: The game ends when a team completes all tasks and reaches the finish line. Optionally, a time limit can be set, after which teams' progress is assessed.
Special Rules and Tips
- Communication: In larger groups, it may be helpful to split up and communicate via mobile devices for efficiency.
