The Ultimate City Hunt

Are you looking for a great group activity?  This city hunt will have your group running all over the city letting their creative juices flow.

The city scavenger hunt is best set up as a photo hunt or video hunt.  Be sure to have enough digital cameras or video cameras for one per group.

Looking for location specific hunts? Check out these city scavenger hunt lists.

When everyone gathers together, explain that the most creative answers for the city scavenger hunts will get bonus points. All items must be photo/video documented. They can take extra pictures or add extra footage of things along the way if it fits in with the hunt.

Visit the planning section for additional thoughts on rules and guidelines you might want to include.

Also, consider these icebreaker activities for adults and this icebreaker game for teens to start the activity off on the right foot. Otherwise, turn them loose but be sure to have a meeting time and place for the end of the city hunt. An ice cream parlor or pizza joint is always a crowd pleaser!
