How does the Hunt work?
Teams try to "perform" or find as many items on a Task List as possible within 90 minutes. Each team must provide selfies/videos of the items on the list or collect various physical items. Each Task List item has a specific point value and the team accumulating the most points wins! (Note: This is not your childhood scavenger hunt!) No previous knowledge of the Hunt area is necessary as you will be given a boundary map which will lead you along the way.
(Example of a task: Have your team sing a song with a complete stranger!)
Is this a race?
Although this is a technically a “competition”, we discourage participants from running. If one member of your team is unable to run your entire team MAY not to be able to complete the Hunt. Although there is a lot of walking, there is plenty of time to complete all tasks within the 90 minute time period. Now, whether your team has the nerve to complete all the tasks… well that is a completely different story!
What do I bring?
Sneakers, comfortable clothes, water bottle and each team must have at least 1 digital camera or phone with battery charged and plenty of memory.
Where is the Hunt?
