What is a Scavenger Hunt?

At their heart, a scavenger hunt is where people get together (it’s suitable for children and adults) and they are given a list of things to find and do. The game can be played indoors and outdoors and can cover as big or as little an area as you need. Generally, you need a person to be the game master, someone who designs and sets the rules for the game.

If you’ve ever watched the television show, ‘The Amazing Race’ that is basically a scavenger hunt that covers the world. They go to countries and have to visit places or complete challenges, and the first one finished is deemed the winner. Of course, you don’t have to offer any prize money for your scavenger hunt but giving the winner something aids in people’s desire to finish it quickly.

There are also scavenger hunt games that can be played on mobile devices. A recent popular one is Pokemon Go! this involved walking around to discover virtual creatures that the player could collect.

Another excellent source of scavenger hunts is online virtual treasure hunts, such as those offered by Adventure Clues. Most of these are question and answer based, with participants needing to figure out the answer by searching online web pages. In fact, Adventure Clues created a virtual Space Adventure hunt which has an engaging and interesting story for the children to follow and at the same time has educational qualities. It’s aimed at children of ages 4-10.

You can use online apps, or paid party planners, or design them yourself, or you can even download scavenger lists and play guides for free!

Generally, the more sophisticated the game, the more you’ll need help in setting it up, especially if you have never played or designed one before.

They are perfect for parties, or just an afternoon ‘killing-times’ session. The possibilities for scavenger hunts are nearly endless! The rules for the winners can vary greatly, but usually the person that collects all the ‘objects’, without breaking any rules, is declared the winner.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unnamed.png” alt=”unnamed” show_bottom_space=”off” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ custom_margin=”-40px|||400px” filter_brightness=”200%” filter_contrast=”200%”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”first-on-mobile” _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pic-3.jpg” alt=”Adventure Clues Customs House Clue 1″ title_text=”pic 3″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_id=”2″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pic-4.jpg” alt=”Adventure Clues The Distance of Your Heart Clue 2″ title_text=”pic 4″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pic-5.jpg” alt=”Adventure Clues The Distance of Your Heart Clue 2″ title_text=”pic 5″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Scavenger Hunts Using an Online Application” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ header_font=”Source Sans Pro|600|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_font_size=”17px” header_line_height=”30px” body_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”30px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”-30px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″]If you’re not into the set up and design of a scavenger hunt, there are many available options for a paid scavenger hunt. These can range from a short quest all the way up to an international adventure.

Most kids and teenagers would be satisfied with the offerings of a scavenger hunt played through a mobile phone device. It allows them the freedom of exploration, as it takes the adult seemingly out of the equation, and rewards them for completing the hunt within a certain time frame.

You can sign them up and let them go, there is little that you need to do. It can be a perfect escape from the weekend planning that normally goes into preparing for a scavenger hunt.

At Adventure Clues we have created several story based treasure hunts that allow children to follow a story that is interlaced with educational questions. Some questions are text based and others include a puzzle element. With hints available for all the questions most children are able to answer them with little input from a parent. These treasure hunts have been created to be enjoyed by one player or many, it’s all up to the imagination of your child!

Here’s a sneak peak of the Space Adventure Storyline..

We have a special mission for you to carry out today. It has just been reported that our resident alien hunter, Doctor Sentori is missing! You’ve been assigned as young space cadets and we need you to follow the clues and find out where the Doctor has gone.

It may involve some research as you reach each location, as we have only a handful of clues as to the Doctor’s location.

You can proceed when you’re ready, but be warned some of the clues may need you to think outside of the box.

This Scavenger Hunt has some amazing illustrations and comic strip characters throughout to really get the kids imaginations going …

Reserve a spot on the space adventure and play today![/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unnamed.png” alt=”unnamed” show_bottom_space=”off” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ custom_margin=”-40px|400px||” filter_brightness=”200%” filter_contrast=”200%” custom_css_main_element=”-webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);||transform: scaleX(-1);”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_id=”3″ module_class=”custom_row” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”second-on-mobile” _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Learning Through Play and Experiences ” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ header_font=”Source Sans Pro|600|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_font_size=”17px” header_line_height=”30px” body_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”30px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″]Play based learning has been at the forefront of educational services. Children learn through play, if you can turn a learning experience into play structures than children are much more likely to retain that information and be able to recall it when asked.

Consider this, when you ask your child ‘what they learnt at school today’, you’d likely get a response of ‘not much’, but if you ask them ‘what did you play today?’, you’ll most often get a long list of all the activities they did with their friends.

It is all about finding and discovery, and it helps children learn at their own pace. It creates wonder and excitement at getting the object and ticking it off the sheet!

However, one important thing to note is that play based learning doesn’t usually allow for an adult making a lot of rules and guidelines. Using a scavenger hunt played on a mobile device can encourage kids to explore out on their own, as these can be played in the home or outside if you wish.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unnamed.png” alt=”unnamed” show_bottom_space=”off” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ custom_margin=”-40px|||400px” filter_brightness=”200%” filter_contrast=”200%”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”first-on-mobile” _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pic-6.jpg” alt=”Adventure Clues Translated Words in Bulletin Place Clue 3″ title_text=”pic 6″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_id=”4″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pic-7.jpg” alt=”Adventure Clues Tankstream Fountain Clue 4″ title_text=”pic 7″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Keeping Kids Entertained on Weekends” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ header_font=”Source Sans Pro|600|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_font_size=”17px” header_line_height=”30px” body_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”30px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”-30px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″]

Weekends, and school holidays, can be a minefield of, ‘what are we going to do today!’, and unless you want them in front of the television binge watching all manner of mindless shows, having an activity such as a scavenger hunt can be an excellent choice for even the most uninterested child.

You can start small and when they are hooked make your way up to harder and more complex challenges. If your children are stuck at home, you can try getting their friends involved by using collaborative video chat, such as Google Meets. This way they can challenge each other and show their friends what they have found.

Try to get the scavenger hunt planned before the weekend. You can complete this by collecting a series of objects that the kids need to collect, try to make them fun or interesting, while physical objects are good, you often need more than ones available, but by incorporating a camera phone you get get your participants to take a photos of themselves with the objects, instead of collecting them.

If you don’t have time available to create the game yourself, you can take advantage of scavenger hunt apps, or download a pre-created hunt from scavenger hunt websites.

By using a ‘discovery’ tool such as a scavenger hunt, they can drive the game and often the reward is nothing more than having a good time.

Exploration usually occurs outdoors, but with many homes in Australia being surrounded by nature parks and other green areas, there are many places that you can go with your children and allow them to explore the big wide world. Having an activity on hand that can be played almost anywhere are scavenger hunts, you can make a hunt out on anything.

There are many types of hunts that will suit an outdoor environment, it can be nature based or urban based. Using tools like a phone can be a great way for kids to collect objects without actually needing to pick them up, although touching random items seems to be most kids’ favourite task!

Best of all when the kids are occupied with a semi-structured play, you can sit back and enjoy a coffee and watch them go at it. Or if you prefer you can join in, just don’t go too easy on them.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unnamed.png” alt=”unnamed” show_bottom_space=”off” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ custom_margin=”-40px|||400px” filter_brightness=”200%” filter_contrast=”200%”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”first-on-mobile” _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pic-8.jpg” alt=”Adventure Clues Sydney Cove Shoreline 1792 Clue 5″ title_text=”pic 8″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_id=”6″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https://www.adventureclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pic-9.jpg” alt=”Adventure Clues Underwood Ark Installation Clue 6″ title_text=”pic 9″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Discovering New Cultures and Ideas” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ header_font=”Source Sans Pro|600|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_font_size=”17px” header_line_height=”30px” body_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”30px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”-30px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″]Scavenger hunts are especially good when you are one holiday and are not too sure about what you can do for the day.

Many museums and art galleries have incorporation scavenger hunts ideas into their venue to assist people getting around and learning about the art pieces. It can be a brilliant way for adults and young children to learn about things they have never heard of before.

Culture based games are an excellent way to help kids find out more about subjects that they may not have otherwise thought about. When you’re visiting a new region or during overseas travel it could be something as simple as tasting some of the food on offer or translating a local sign into your native language. The possibilities are endless, as long as you’re having fun, you’re doing it right![/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ prev_background_color=”#57b596″ module_id=”paid-activities” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”#f3f3f3″ custom_padding=”121px|0px|54px|0px|false|false” top_divider_style=”waves2″ top_divider_repeat=”2x”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”3.25″ width=”89%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”89%” max_width_tablet=”80%” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”63px|||||” make_fullwidth=”on”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Helping Kids to Use Public Transport” module_id=”7″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ header_font=”Source Sans Pro|600|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_font_size=”17px” header_line_height=”30px” body_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”30px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″]Learning to get out and about in any city can be quite daunting for young people. There are many odd-looking maps and if you don’t know exactly where you need to go you can get on the wrong train, and be half way across the city before you know what is happening!

Incorporating travel into a scavenger hunt style game, can help kids learn how to read public transport schedules. Depending on your child’s age you may want an adult to accompany them, or they can work as a team.

For this style of scavenger hunt, ideally you would arm the kids with a mobile phone and be prepared to pick them up if they take a wrong turn and end up out the back of Burke! Although that’s fairly unlikely. Most kids are fairly savvy when left to their own devices and public transport staff are more often than not, very helpful for new travellers.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Teaching Life Skills Through Interactive Play Based Systems” module_id=”9″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ header_font=”Source Sans Pro|600|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_font_size=”17px” header_line_height=”30px” body_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”30px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″]Scavenger hunts can be a great way to teach your children all sorts of things. As far as an educational structure goes, it uses gameplay and rewards-based learning to teach your kids about how life works and more.

Using interactive play-based systems is a perfect way to get your kids to develop many life skills, and scavenger hunts make it fun!

This has a couple of benefits, in that you can see how your kids dealt with the scavenger hunt, and what things they may have found and learned along the way. It can also show you how to improve the hunt for next time, take on board what they are saying, what they found difficult or what was too easy and make changes for the next time.

Find a place to rest after the hunt, as they will probably be quite tired from the challenge. See if you can wrap up the hunt at a good place to relax and unwind, finishing with a meal can be a perfect idea.

Try to have a winner’s ceremony, and that way you can encourage your kids for the next event you host. There’s nothing like healthy competition to drive people to try harder at challenging events.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Ideas for Scavenger Hunts” module_id=”10″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ header_font=”Source Sans Pro|600|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_font_size=”17px” header_line_height=”30px” body_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”30px” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″]While it’s possible to make a scavenger hunt of anything and make the theme as specific or as broad as you like, here we have put together a list of a few examples.
