PLEASE NOTE: You’ll need to provide collection bags, clipboards and other small items as well as digital cameras for ALL HUNTS BUT OPERATION RECOVERY.
For Operation Recovery, you’ll need to provide collection bags and other miscellaneous items (like pens and clipboards). We also suggest you provide each team with anywhere from $5 to $20 in petty cash as some of the items they need to retrieve will require a purchase. Also keep in mind that you’ll need to provide at least one covert operative We suggest choosing Operation: Recovery if you’re on a limited budget as it does not require cameras.

3 Options/Ideas for Our Hunts That Require Digital Cameras
OPTION 1: Ask those participating in the scavenger hunt to bring their digital camera for their team photos. Almost everyone has a digital camera these days and you should be able to find one person on each team that has one.
OPTION 2: Here are some digital camera suggestions that cost less than $100 (as of 3/2008). My sources: http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-6501_7-0.html?filter=100021_9231531_&sort=lowPrice9+asc and http://cameras.about.com/od/digitalcameratoppicks/tp/under100.htm
- Fujifilm FinePix F810
- Nikon Coolpix L11 Digital Camera.
- Samsung S630 Budget Digital Camera
- VuPoint DC-WPC-ST531T-VP Budget Underwater Digital Camera
- Digital Concepts Video Camcorder and Digital Camera
Check http://www.amazon.com for the best prices and be sure to read their customer reviews; also check your local discount department stores to see what they offer (stores like Walmart can offer some pretty inexpensive cameras from what I've been told) . One of my customers reported an awful experience using http://www.ecamerafilms.com so I don’t recommend them at this time. I love http://www.cnet.com for tech product reviews.
OPTION 3: Use cell phone cameras.
OPTION 4: You can time each section of the game so only 1 or 2 teams have a camera at a time.
Here's an example:
Part 1: 30 minutes
- Teams 1 and 2: get the picture challenges only
- Team 3 and 4: get the collection challenges only
All teams return in 25 minutes to get the next part of the game.
Part 2: 30 minutes
- Teams 3 and 4: get the picture challenges only
- Team 1 and 2: get the collection challenges only
All teams do the project and/or quiz challenges at the same time.
