I was just volunteered to come up with some "really cool" ideas for a scavenger hunt. "Oh by the way, it starts in 24 hours". poo poo. I swore she told me it was next Friday. I'm sure this thread will evolve into a shitstorm, but I'm hoping to cull some good ideas from the pile. The people involved are all between 18 and 30. There will be 5-6 car groups of about 5 per car. My goal is to keep these retards as busy as possible. The longer that they're gone, the more time I can loiter at the bar waiting for them to get back. Each group will have a camera so they can photograph themselves doing...whatever, so that's always an option. The only reason I took this gig is because my wife asked told me to. Again, I swear she said it was next week BUT IT'S NOT. I've never organized or even taken part in a scavenger hunt, so any help would be appreciated. Bitch.

Have them find random people to chicken dance with. That's a scavenger hunt classic. Or run around to Yakety Sax in a crowded place. Lord of Bananas fucked around with this message at Nov 06, 2009 around 01:13 |

Scavenger hunts here are pretty fun because of the local color involved. A lot of the hunts include things like, "find a hippie, take a picture with them" or "find someone playing with marionettes/accordion/something uncommon", but with those you might have to make it an "or" question because I'm sure the buskers get pretty bored with taking silly pictures after the 5th or 6th go.

Find a restaurant with X item on the menu, or X misspelled words. Fit as many people into the car as possible. Shake hands with a dog. EDIT: A city or some information about the surroundings might be nice.

I did one of these for a friend's birthday this past summer. I can't remember the entire list, but it ranged from simple things (take a picture of 5 fire hydrants, take one with a cop, take one of a train), to the bizaare (Reenact the end of a Mudbone video in a sex shop, take a picture of the people in your group pretending to be an air band with at least 5 strangers watching, drink hot sauce from a local mexican place we frequent). One good one was a kiss from a stranger, 5 points on the hand, 10 for on the cheek, 20 on the lips. After it was all over, teams came back and each team submitted a photo (didn't have to be something on the list) for funniest, saddest, and some other category I forget. People voted on it, and the groups that won those got extra points. After that, tally up points, give some prizes to the winners, get them out of there. Edit: In case it wasn't clear, this was a photo scavenger hunt, you don't have to have people bring back anything you need to deal with later, just a laptop, maybe projector if you go down the voting path.

I'm hungry so I'm going to recommend you send them to various restaurants in the area and make them take pictures of the menus (bonus points if they get a hard copy of the menu). You could also have them go to nightclubs and try to get promotional flyers to as many different nightclubs as they can. You'd have to be in an area with a lot of nightclubs though, obviously. Umm...you could have them go door-to-door in a residential area looking for little odds and ends, like rubber bands, bits of string, etc. Good luck!

A few ideas off the top of my head... - A meter stick. - Any Chevy Chase movie on VHS. - McCain '08 campaign materials. (Simple printouts, handouts, and pamphlets are not eligible -- must be real buttons, lawn signs, bumper stickers, etc.) - A large broken-out hunk of drywall (at least several inches on a side). - A three-tined, four-tined, and five-tined fork (all made of metal, and need not be of matching styles). - A lock of human hair, at least six inches long. - A US quarter dated 1975.  Trick item! There are no '75 quarters; they were already doing the '76 bicentennial thing that year. - Fifty gallons of water. (In any container(s) they like, so long as they can prove by measurement, geometry, or labeling that it's at least 50 gallons. Water content of human bodies is ineligible.) - A slide rule (linear or circular). - One sample of each of the different types of recyclable plastics, 1 through 7. The triangular recycling symbol with number inside must be molded into each item. - A 5.25" floppy disk. - A yearbook from any junior high school or middle school, any year. - An AC adapter (such as for a laptop or speakers), factory-labeled as outputting 19 volts. - A genuine WWII Victory Medal (or ribbon). - A map or globe of the Moon. (Must be paper or something equally permanent; opening Google Moon on a laptop doesn't count.)

When I was in college, around the start of my sophomore year, I had dyed my hair a bright shade of red. I was at the mall for some reason or another when a group of guys asked me if they could take my picture and I said sure. I saw they were wearing little name badges with the SA grenade on them and asked what Something Awful was doing in Columbus. It turns out they were having a goonmeet at Gameworks, and there was a scavenger hunt beforehand. I guess what I'm trying to say is make them take a picture of someone with stupidly colored hair. It was still another 3 years before I joined the forums...

Send someone across the state and ask for a picture with that person. Also, make the clue difficult, so it's not quite as simple as "find someone to drive somewhere really far".
