Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger

Hunt

When my husband and I were dating we went on a scavenger hunt date with our friends and we had so much fun! You can make your own and customize it towards the city/town you are in or use these pre-made scavenger hunts from Diva Girl Parties and Stuff.

Around Town

All you need is a couple of lists, transportation, and a camera per team. Choose the items that best suit your town and/or add a few items to your own to make it a custom around town town hunt. 

Examples: a receipt for 50 cents worth of gas, a bank deposit envelope, a take-out menu

Door to Door Scavenger Hunt

For this hunt, teams may only get one item per household and will have to get the signature of the person giving them the item to prove it. Choose a neighborhood that you are comfortable and familiar with. 

Examples: a fast food coupon, a sock with a hole in it, a used stamp, a potato. 

Mall Scavenger Hunts

This is a combination photo hunt, item hunt, and trivia hunt. Teams must attempt to bring back as may photographed scenarios, answers, and items as they can in the allotted time. Some are more challenging than others, but if you use your creativity, wit, and charm, you just might come out the winners. Either way, you'll have FUN trying.

Examples: 

Search & find: a game that starts with a "P", a salesperson wearing red shoes.

Trivia questions: How many restaurants are in the mall? What does it cost to add bacon to your 6" sub at Subway? What movie is playing in Cinema 2?

Glamour Shots: team members shaking hands with a bearded man, a team member posing with a mannequin- both dressed the same.

(I tried to find the pictures we took while on our scavenger hunt, but couldn't find them.) It was such a fun memory though that we still talk about it with our friends today.

This one is one my husband made up.

You can find other scavenger hunt ideas on the internet and Pinterest and print those out, or make up your own! Either way it makes for a super fun date with your friends.

Relationship tip: have fun with your spouse while being silly, creative and wity!

"The calzone is to die for!!! This is my second time in one day, hahahaha. The service is awesome. Will definitely be back."

"For Lake Highlands, this is one of the best local restaurants in our neighborhood. While we have some really great restaurants, all of them seem to specialize in one type of food or another. Often times when a restaurant tries to do more than one type of food, it can often result in an overwhelming menu or lack of attention to the food. However, at Picasso's, they do their food right."

"I came here for lunch with my sister during the week and loved it. Our server, Kenneth, was very attentive and thoughtful. We ordered the fried mozzarella and their masterpiece pizza, both were delicious and fresh. I will definitely be back soon!"

Relationship tip: Overcome your L.D.D. (Listening Deficit Disorder). Whole-hearted listening is the greatest gift you can give to your partner. Drop the defensiveness, and listen only to understand, without interrupting, correcting facts, or counter-punching.
