Who doesn’t LOVE a great scavenger hunt? This year for Leighton’s birthday we needed to do something that didn’t cost a lot of money for everyone involved and still created a memorable experience for everyone involved.
As corporate team building excursions, we have done these photo scavenger hunts before but thought it would be fun to do a downtown Hershey, PA version for the kids.
To make it more fun, we themed the scavenger hunt around Hershey’s Downtown area. With photo searches like:
Take a photo with a Hershey’s Sign, Dance in a Food Court, Throw a Coin in a Fountain, Find a Mannequin Wearing Blue, a Statue, etc. (The full list is below)
We didn’t initially tell the kids that we were doing a scavenger hunt; instead, we did a riddle search at the campground first, with the last riddle pointing them to the printer, where copies of the hunt list were waiting for them.
These are the cards we printed out that contained the riddles.
These cards had the kids running from one RV to the next to gather more clues. Below the answers were the Washing Machine, Chair, and Table. In each ‘answer’ was the next riddle and it lead to the next location.
After solving all the riddles, it lead them to the printer, where the following scavenger hunt list was printed and waiting for them. (You can download the word doc version of the list here)
We searched online the night before and mashed up a list that we though would be realistic to achieve in a typical downtown area plus a few factors that made it Hershey specific. We DID NOT expect them to find everything but they did!
