Thread: Adult Hide and Seek

Tweet

We usually do a scavenger hunt every year for our Halloween Party. I write 13 long elaborate rhyming clues (stories) that takes each team to a new location and a new clue..I do two hunts at a time (26 stories) so everyone isn't following everyone else around...takes months of planning to create scenes and stories, etc...Have been doing the hunt at the same location for 4 years, and have burnt out!!! We have some property down in the country and plan on doing it down there next year..So this year I'm planning all new team activities in which they can earn "points" for the win...I want to do an adult version of hide and seek with members from all teams hiding (in and out of the house, we have a really large broken up yard and there's lots of places to hide.) I don't want the traditional "caught you, you're out" thing..My fiance and I will be the "hunters" and everyone else will be the "prey." Was originally going to go with a water balloon thing, where, if one of us caught someone, we would pelt them with a water balloon to show everyone that they had been "found." But it's rather cold here outside and some of the girls costumes are..barely there...so I'm afraid would get people sick by doing that..Also toyed with the idea of paint-balling them, but then there's the whole "injury" situation. Anyone have any ideas on a way to visibly show that members had been "caught."????????
Thanks!

I like the idea but have no suggestions. Could you give examples of your prevous years with the scavenger hunt? I love that idea, i usually do a standard scavenger hunt but im getting bored of it.

You could mark them with a big X. Duct tape comes in all kinds of cool colors now. Or you could spray them with silly string and make them wear it till the games over.

What about water balloons filled with paint? Or goo of some sort? Maybe dish soap tinged with red food coloring to make it look like blood?

I wouldn't do anything with paint. I know I'd be pissed if I spent money on a costume and it got ruined lol. Maybe you could do something like a zombie hunt. You and your fiance are the zombies and each time you find (bite) someone, they turn into a zombie too. You could get cheap masks, like those plain white ones, and paint them up like zombies. So every time one of your guests are caught, give them a mask to wear.

(To 1LUVHALLOWEEN) -Typed out a long message in regards to your question but I'm pretty sure I did something wrong and it didn't show up!! Will try and type it out again today..

You have to select quote or to the right of that is a little box that allows you to go down the list and select multiple quotes.

And I like the 'bloody' dish soap idea, myself

OFFMYMEDS- I like your silly string suggestion...that's the generl idea of what we wanted to do was have a way to "get them" from afar..sneak up on them and, Bam!
In regards to using paint, I think alot of my guests will have the same opinion (that they would be quite ticked off if I covered their intricate costumes with paint..Haha....) I didn't originally think about that when considering the paint ball idea, but it probably wont work...The mask idea is cool too but would really like a way to be able to sneak up on them and get them with something from a little bit aways...
