A note about doing this hunt in a mall: Some folks have told us that their local mall considered the scavenger hunt an "event" and it was therefore prohibited; others have told us that picture taking is not allowed. To be on the safe side, check with the mall before showing up to do this hunt.

The teams will then embark on the scavenger hunt, taking pictures, obtaining specific items, solving brainteasers and completing a trivia quiz - all worth valuable points.

To customize the hunt, you can easily add additional items, pictures and projects to the list.

team looking like bored teenagers copping an attitude in front of

know it when you get it; IF you get it. Be prepared. (More details
on how to set this

So which scavenger hunt game should you select, Operation Our Town
or Operation City Slickers?
If you’ve already done Operation Our Town,
then City Slickers it is (stating the obvious we know). If your group
consists mainly of kids, we recommend Operation Our Town over City
Slickers. If your group consists of adults and you’ve never done
one of our hunts before then either one will be an excellent choice.
Both have very fun picture challenges, both have items to collect.
Operation Our Town is more "arts & crafts" creative with
a hands on project to complete and City Slickers is more "cerebral" with
its brainteasers and trivia. Click on the links above for more
details about each hunt.

OPERATION WHEN TIME FLIES Scavenger Hunt. A timed scavenger hunt suitable for your office complex* or you can take it out on the town. Picture challenges, word search/find items challenge, bonus challenge and final team projects. Lots of different types of fun tasks to complete to keep it interesting, engaging and challenging!
HOW IT WORKS: Your group will be divided into teams of up to 10 people (minimum of 3 or 4 to a team). This hunt is a timed hunt broken down into 2 timed challenges*: Photo Ops and Find Items** (with a bonus challenge thrown in for good measure). Your teams will have 45 minutes to complete part 1. They will then report to your organizer to get part 2. The teams will then be given another 45 minutes to complete part 2. There will be team meets where team members will move to other teams and additional challenges will be given to everyone. To customize the hunt, you can easily add additional items, pictures and projects to the list - whatever you need/want to do to make it best suit your needs. At the conclusion of the hunt, the teams will do a final project - we provide several different projects to choose from (or you can “grade” their clue sheets to find the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners).
*OPTION: You don’t need to time each challenge section. Just give the teams this entire hunt and 1 ½ to 1 3/4 hours IN TOTAL to complete it.
**The teams will have a selection of picture challenges to choose from; their goal is to take 8 great photos for the highest number of points possible). They'll also need to obtain specific items which they'll find by solving a word search puzzle - these are also worth valuable points. There's also an additional bonus challenge for them to complete.
EXAMPLES:
1. Take a picture of your funniest team member creatively
using a flashlight or a plunger. POINT VALUE: 500.
2. Interpretive Photo (the teams will create a photo that pictorially
represents a nonsensical or silly statement. They have a whole list
to choose from.) Example: This little piggy went to market; this
little piggy stayed home; this little piggy ate roast beef; this little
piggy had a really bad itch. VALUE: 2,000 POINTS.
3. The teams will solve a word search of 20 hidden items; they'll need
to then find 10 of those items. Example: aspirin. VALUE: 100 POINTS PER
ITEM.

All our hunts are formatted in Microsoft Word which means you can EASILY edit them to personalize the hunt for your event. For example, If you're going to a place you've never been, search the Internet for the "city name" and the results will provide you with informative web sites you can use to plug in location specific challenges. So instead of "Take a picture of your most dramatic team member with someone famous" you can edit the challenge to "Take a picture of your most dramatic team member doing something dramatic in front of the oldest casino in Las Vegas".
LENGTH
OF ALL SCAVENGER HUNTS: 2 - 4+ hours, depending on the size
of your group: 10 minutes for opening instructions, warm up game
and team organization; 1 1/2 - 2 hours for the hunt and about 1/2
hour (or more) for grading, team presentations, awards and optional
team assessment discussion (timing largely depends on the number
of teams: the more teams, the more time you should allow).
PRE-HUNT
PREP TIME: For
up to 6 teams, you can put our scavenger hunts together in about 6 to
8 hours (includes shopping for supplies, reading the scavenger
hunt and prepping the materials); as you add teams, you'll
need to add time to the pre-hunt prep. You mostly need to print
(and perhaps edit) the documents included with the kit, pack
the collection bags and you'll need to shop for team prizes
and digital cameras as well as other inexpensive supplies like clipboards, bribe items and
such. Our facilitator guide provides a supply checklist for
you.
