Making The Most Exciting Scavenger Hunt Clues

Scavenger hunting is played both for recreation and team-building

. It has no age requirement and is played by players in groups. The mechanics of the game is similar to any treasure hunting game, except that for this one, the players may not be required to find a treasure using the clues. The clues themselves serve as treasures as the players accomplish them one after another.

Both finding the clue and making the clue are exciting tasks. However, scavenger stimulation depends greatly on how the clues are made. The gamemaster is the one who makes the clues. S/he will give each team a list of objects or tasks that they need to discover as soon as the hunt begins. He can use different strategies from puzzles to riddles to make the list difficult to accomplish. Either the first to accomplish the list receives a prize or the clues themselves lead to the prize.

One way of making an interesting clue is by taking picture of the objects on the list. Although this makes the trick quite obvious, some twists can be added such as capturing only a part of the object. Some witty gamemasters cut the pictures to pieces so that the players need to assemble them to have a complete picture of the object.

Scavenger hunt clues can be presented as a puzzle or as a series of questions. Base the difficulty of the puzzle or questions on the age group of the players. For children, it is best to place dashes or underlines representing the number of letters of the answer. Like in a crossword puzzle, the clue can be the name of the object with some missing letters the players need to fill by answering tricky questions.

If the players are good in math, mathematical formulas can be used as means of solving puzzles that lead to the clues. This is a bit risky for a Scavenger hunt since some problems lead to different correct answers. For any level of players, the questions involving math should remain relatively simple.

Word clues are also effective in a Scavenger hunt. The players can be asked to form words from a group of letters placed in random and use those words to solve a puzzle. In some cases, the formed words are the clues themselves.
