Great Urban Race a GREAT Experience!!

The Great Urban Race is a great adventure and a great hunt game in itself. It is pretty much like an amazing race but it is open to everybody that wantes to play. There is a fee of course but it is well worth it! They go from major city to major city where many teams of two play to win this mad cap race. From there at the end of their season they have a big race of all the major finalists that play for a major prize. We took part in Boston last year and it was a blast and we plan to do it again. Go to their website www.greaturbanrace form more information and sign up!

Do your research when selecting a scavenger hunt company..

If you are going to hire a professional to create and customize your scavenger hunt, do you research. What you should look for is price, what it consits of, prizes, etc. There are a couple of companies that offer a lot of game for a great price, and then there are others that offer very little game for a lot of money. So see what companies offer before you sign on with them. You never what to be in a senerio, where someone else does a hunt that had more game than your game for a much cheaper price.

Scavenger Hunt TV

Make it easy and leave danger out of the hunt...

It's always nice to make a challengeing hunt, just to be different but you must be carefull. There are some hunts out there that people do that requires driving cars, bikes, etc. In that case i think it's too dangerous, the hunt should always been on foot. Your hunt should never include driving, climbing, boating, riding , etc. It's too risky and you don't want to be held responsible. Always keep it fun and safe.

The Inspiration Of Creating a Scavenger Hunt!

A scavenger hunt by far is one of the oldest games out there today, but in the same time one of the most played games that ever was. There have been so many versions of the typical scavenger hunt but all in all it is always a fun and original event. Most people ask where you get the inspiration in order to create a hunt. Sometimes you have to look back at your childhood and remember old outdoor games you played as a kid, or you can always turn to movies. From Rat Race, Scavenger Hunt, Midnight Madnes, Davinci Code and many more you can always get inspired on getting ideas to clues. Another way to get more ideas is to go to a downtown area or city and start taking notes. Once you are finished taking your notes, go back and closely review them. With all the information you gathered you will slowly start to develop clues, items, and a concept to your game. But I believe the inspiration always comes from films, tv, books and in most part childhood.
