Thread: Witches Photo Scavenger Hunt

Tweet

Hey guys, I need the help of your creative minds! I am wanting to do a photo scavenger hunt at my Be-Witching Bash and need some ideas. Here are the specifics:

• I want to keep it in my neighborhood, on foot (there's a little shopping center, a bar, a park, and an elementary school very nearby).
• I would like it to take no longer than 90 minutes.
• Halloween themed items are a must and witch themed items are a huge plus!

My party is going to be on the 8th so I don't have a ton of time left....I'm starting to panic a bit. Thanks, in advance, for any help!

a spooky looking tree
any advertisement with a witch on it
a decorated yard
a pumpkin
a black cat
take a picture with a stranger with your witch hat on them

Is this kind of what you had in mind?

Rikki, I know that you printed off some witch pictures last year. Could you explain how to get them to fit a certain size frame? I have printed pictures of general Halloween things but I just printed them big and trimmed. I would love for my witches to look more like real photos. I have a lot of television, movie witches that I want to frame for the Be WITCHY party

Offmymeds, thanks! That's exactly the type of things I'm looking for.

Printersdevil, are you needing to make them bigger or smaller?

i 2 am having a photo scavenger hunt (but i will b having mine in a town that has a mall and other stores)...but here r some ideas that could work for u....

1 riding a broom down an isle
2 something black and something orange
3. a crying scene from the blair witch project (the person making the best crying scared face they can)
4. kissing a pumpkin
5 making a pile of leaves then jumping in it

Hmm. This likely isn't much help, but I wonder if you could twist it so it sounds like ingredients for a witches brew or spell? Hmm. I'll have to think about this.

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming!
Gobby, if you figure that out please let me know! That would be really cool and I know I could come up with a few but I don't know that I can put together a whole list that they'd actually be able to get pics of.

Thanks to help from you guys, here's my current list of things to find in the photo scavenger hunt. I'd really like to add a couple more though.

A spider
The number 13
A dead flower
A jack o lantern
A spooky looking tree
An advertisement/packaging with a Halloween theme
A decorated yard
A black cat
A stranger wearing a witch hat
A tombstone
A skull or skeleton tattoo
A broom that is not part of a costume
A flyer for a haunted house or Halloween event
A creepy shadow
A Halloween greeting
A coven photo (all team members in one shot)

Should I assign a point value to each item (some with multiple options like "a spider - real +2, fake +1")? I'm thinking that might be the best way to be able to determine a winning team...

I've never done this but I think having some kind of point system is a great idea - maybe it would push people be a little more creative, and also reduce the likelihood of a tie. Can you say something like "In case of a tie, the winner will be based on originality"?

Gobby sent me a great little rhyming list with my ingredients! I did some minor tweaking and here's what I've got for my party:

Witchcraft 101

In today's class we’ll be cooking up a witch's brew.
For ingredients, your photographs will do!
Originality is important and creativity is key:
In case of a tie the judge will be ME!

•A scary spider, after a feeding (+1 if fake, +2 if real)
•A generic Halloween greeting (+1, +2 if it’s unique)
•A sleek little kitty cat (+2, +3 if black)
•A stranger in a witch’s hat (+3)
•The number 13, unlucky though it be (+2)
•A creepy, old, spooky tree (+1)
•A tombstone with a name marked clear (+2)
•A jack o lantern that shows no fear (+1)
•A flyer for an event of Halloween
or a haunted house that’ll make you scream (+3)
•A skeleton or skull tattoo
(check the body next to you) (+1 if fake, +2 if real)
•A yard that's been decorated –
such spirit must be celebrated! (+1)
•A dead flower blowing in the autumn air (+2)
•A spooky shadow that makes you beware (+1)
•A Halloween package or advertisement
that entices you to purchase it! (+3)
•The last item is CRUCIAL for your witch’s brew -
a photo of ALL of your coven's crew! (+3)
