Scavenger Hunt for Teens Premise

Participants are given a scavenger hunt for teens map and a scavenger hunt for teens book. They are challenged to solve a series of clues that give either the coordinates of a location on the map, or the actual name of a location on the map. Some of the solutions can be solved by using the hunt book alone. Some of the solutions require additional information provided at a specific clue location. Each clue location is customized by you so this scavenger hunt for teens can be hosted absolutely anywhere. The clues can be solved in any order, so it is up to each team to determine their best course. The final clue will reveal how teams can read the map to find the treasure.

Who the Treasure Hunt Is For

• Teens
• Adults
• Can be played with individual participants or with teams. The clues are challenging, so this may be more fun played in pairs or on teams.

What makes this hunt ideal for teens and adults?

The teen scavenger hunt clues are:

• Clever – Clues are designed with teens and adults in mind. So, it is challenging, but not too hard. It will appeal to the little kid inside all of us, but it is not childish.
• Challenging – This is not a “go to a location and take a picture” type of a hunt. Teams need to work together to solve puzzle type clues. The clues relate to the locations on a special treasure map. At the end of the hunt, teams solve another clue that allows them to use the map to find the treasure.
• Customized – You have control over how the hunt is delivered to the participants. The unique way the puzzles are designed allows you to write in where you want to hide the additional clues. So, you can host this hunt virtually anywhere – at home, at work, outside or indoors. The hunt is also designed so if you don’t like any one particular clue you can skip it. You can tweak the hunt to suit your needs, so you can personalize this experience. You can also take it a step further and purchase the upgraded package where it is personalized to celebrate your family, hunt location, or guest of honor.
