Scavenger Hunt
You may have already seen people running
around your hometown on their own scavenger hunt...
This game is a team competition where you are racing
against the clock and taking pictures with your camera. You will find
yourself traveling around the city on subways and on foot (avoid taxi cabs).
The journey will lead you into local landmarks such as restaurants, monuments,
bars, etc. The possibilities are endless and only your imagination will
limit your fun on this one.
If you decide to embark on one of these fun
adventures (which is based on the TV Show-The Amazing Race) on your road trip then you must divide your group into teams.
While having a few drinks the night before the race you and your friends will
want to develop your own list and point system for this game. I have
included a sample copy to help point you in the right direction.
These are the rules that I like to use (feel
free to tweak them):
- All teams must return to the starting
point at a set time (Midnight)
- Each minute you are late will cost your
team 1 point
- There are no territorial boundaries for this
event
- Teams may get around on foot, taxi cabs,
subway, rides from new friends, etc.
- Items are collected in the form of a
digital picture (there are no points lost for blurry pictures however)
- Teams may elect to pay strangers in order
to capture a critical picture
