Orange Scavenger Hunt
by Amy R.
(Canton, MI)
I created an original birthday and called it the "Orange Birthday Party" - it was all based on the color orange (my favorite color!). So one of the activities was an Orange Scavenger Hunt.
The whole group was divided into two teams and each got a list that was based on the color orange, for example: an orange sock, an orange flavored tea-bag, an unused orange napkin, a small orange stickie note, an orange construction paper, an orange-flavored lollipop, a carrot, etc.
We had this Scavenger Hunt in my neighborhood, so one team went to one side of the neighborhood and the other team to the other side of the neighborhood. Each team had to knock on neighbor's doors and ask for the items in a 30-minute time limit. Each team got a big orange basket to put all the orange items in.
It came out to be a tie between the teams! So everyone got gift certificates to our favorite ice cream shop :-), It was so much fun!!

Walmart Scavenger Hunt
by Andrea R.
(Palo Alto, CA)
For my daughter's 13th birthday we had a Scavenger Hunt at Walmart. Before the party itself I went to a Super Walmart with a few friends who helped me scope out clues. I made the clues in a way so that each of the teams will have to go from one end of the store all the way to the other.
The whole group was divided into two teams (each guest can draw names from a hat to create random teams). The clues were items that would be used at the party itself (after the Walmart Scavenger Hunt we went back home and the girls had a sleepover).
The items were: microwave popcorn, candy (just like the ones you buy at theaters - for the movies we rented to watch at night), fruit, English muffins, cream cheese (food for breakfast), photo albums, small dollar jewelry, flip flops, etc. To make sure they picked out the exact items, I wrote down the exact price amount right next to the item on the list.
The first item on each team's list was a disposable camera, and each team had to take photos of themselves in many different areas of Walmart (they also had to make all kinds of funny faces, group photos, etc. which made great keepsakes after the party).
To prolong the hunt, I even added items that I needed to shop for :-)!! Things like dog food, light-bulbs, toilet paper and other such items.
It was a blast!!

Mystery Murder Scavenger Hunt
by Robert
(Dauphin, Pa USA)
All of the participants in the mystery murder assemble 2 hours before the murder, they divide into two or more groups. The goal is to find the items on the lists provided and return to the crime. Several of the items will then be used in the mystery to solve who done it. Like clue but you go out and find the weapons and other props to help with the solution. Each item is awarded points as well and the team with the most points gets a prize. The person/s who solve the mystery get a prize as well.
Making Faces Scavenger Hunt List Idea
by Candi H.
(San Diego, CA)
Here's a nice Scavenger Hunt idea to put on a list:
"Go into the photo booth and make these faces: a scary face a goofy face and a happy face"
You can also add lots of other funny faces to this list idea. The pictures that come out at the end are also a really great keepsake!!
Gate To A Garden Scavenger Hunt Riddle
by Juliet R.
A barrier of wood, wire, and stone
And inside; a world of wonders sown.
It must be opened by lock or hinge,
to protect from the outside, of what lies within.
What am I?
Mailbox Scavenger Hunt Riddle
by Juliet R.
A wide tin soldier on guard at his post,
Waving his banner high
When orders come in,
He drops down his chin,
And into his head they fly.
What am I?
Music Box Scavenger Hunt Riddle
by Juliet R.
By the twist of a thumb it's controlled,
Guarding it's treasures within it's hold
Forever on end it dances 'round,
until time stops-only to be rewound.
What am I?
