Funny Scavenger Hunt List

By

The best type of scavenger hunt is one that has items or tasks that make the players laugh and which provides some great memories.

We’ve therefore produced a funny scavenger hunt list that teenagers and adults will love. It’s also perfect for using as a fun youth group activity.

Here’s how to plan it:

Funny Scavenger Hunt List

Resources

  • List of items and tasks (see below)
  • Pens
  • Cameras (cell phone cameras are fine)

Teams

This photo scavenger hunt works best with at least three people in each team – it’s therefore perfect for using as a team building activity.

If you’re going to have a limited number of players, it can be done in pairs but it won’t be quite as much fun.

Idea

Ensure teams have each of the resources listed above. The list has 10 funny items and 10 funny tasks – teams have to find all the items and perform all the tasks, taking photos as proof that they’ve been found and performed.

Location

Teams can go anywhere to complete the list – malls, grocery stores, their own home, etc. Each team will therefore need to be able to drive around.

Time Limit

Set a time limit and a place where they need to meet at the end of the scavenger hunt. To give them enough time to take photos of all the funny tasks and items, it’s worth allowing at least 1.5 – 2 hours for the game.

Points

Award one point for each photo a team takes of an item or task on the list, also awarding bonus points for the funniest photos.
