Combined Scavenger and Treasure Hunt

For this evening entertainment, the large group must be split into even small groups of around 6.

The challenge is a combined, treasure and scavenger hunt. (Before starting it must be made clear that they can only take things if they’ve asked permission and everything must be returned at the end of the game.)

The groups can choose to work on the two problems either as whole teams or to split up and tackle one problem each.

Scavenger Half

For the scavenger hunt, each team must be given a pillowcase in which to keep their scavenges until the end of the game. The team will be given a list of the required items. Some of the items will require written answers and so a space will be provided for them to write this on their sheet.

Some of the items will also require confirmation by an adult, so their will be a place for an adult to sign, e.g. as a group sing a verse and chorus of a song

A list is given on the next page.

Treasure Half

At the beginning of the treasure hunt, each team is given a different clue referring to a different location. The team is also assigned a colour. When they have worked the solution they will find at the destination a piece of a jigsaw puzzle in a box of their colour. The whole box must be brought back to get the next clue. When all clues have been found and all pieces of the puzzle retrieved the puzzle must be assembled. The group that has achieved most in both treasure and scavenger hunt after an allotted time frame wins the game.
