  • Uploade a video of a team cheer.
  • Search for a hidden item in a large area.
  • A puzzle that is so complex that it requires multiple people to remember different things.


#2: Time limits to encourage urgency and efficiency

Adding time limits to scavenger hunt tasks can help to encourage urgency and efficiency among teams. This is because teams will need to work together quickly in order to complete the task before the time runs out. This can be a great way to get everyone working together and communicating effectively.

Some examples of tasks with time limits include:

  • Finding a certain number of items in an area within a certain amount of time
