Remember, not every scavenger hunt list needs to be about collecting items. You can also create a digital photo scavenger hunt for easy play. you can even upload your photos to a private group facebook account with your phone while the hunt is taking place. What a way to "egg on" the competing group!

Time is ticking and that's what make a scavenger hunt so much fun. Set a time limit for each group to meet back at a central location.

The time should be long enough to collect several items, but not all of them! Keep it short enough to create a challenge. Make it an hour or two at the most.

Freebies Themed Scavenger Hunt

Start by giving each participant a small gift bag. Decorate the bag clearly displaying that it's a scavenger hunt bag.

Go to mall, restuarants, hotels, etc. and collect as many free samples as possible! What can you collect: perfume samples, tiny bottles of shampoo, soaps, department store samples, and match books. The more creative the team, the more things they'll collect. Whoever gets the most freebies wins!

Traditional Scavenger Hunt List Ideas

For my brother-in-law's birthday, my sister and I planned a scavenger hunt for the adults.

Once everybody had arrived and had some appetizers, we got the ball rolling. We broke everybody up into 5 teams (there were 15 other guests so groups of 3). Each team got a list of things to get and or do, along with $20.

Only rule was that the members of each team had to go together and take only one car per each team.

The first team back with everything on the list won the grand prize (a $25 pre-paid card). Everybody else got smaller participating gifts from the dollar store.
