Thread: Scary Tales Scavenger Hunt

Holy Crap!! That's amazing matrix!

Thanks!

It took me quite awhile for logistics since I had a big crowd. Every team had a different order of mostly the same riddles but changing it up would prevent everyone from being huddled up at the same place at the same time looking for the same clue! You should have seen my clip board that had all the sequences of each team,answers, and where the clues were hidden exactly. I wish I had an Ipad then!!!
But it was a great party....afraid to have another party and not have it as fun as this one was!

I did this mostly outside, neighbors helped out by being some of the clues themselves at their home. I had some scary actors (family!) who were also clues. For example, my husband was a clue and he dressed up as a pretty scary clown.

Thats awesome...You did a great job Thanks so much

K here's what I ve come up with so far for my scary tales scavenger hunt...Im doing it as Malice in Wonderland...the front yard will match the theme and I will hide the clues throughout the neighborhood. I like the idea of doing each team in a different order so we dont have any cheaters (last year several guests piled up together). Im thinking instead of placing trinkets and prizes at the locations I would simply leave clues : they will have the clue on one side and part of a puzzle (a message written of the keys location in a swirling pattern divided among the clues...) on the other...after collecting all the clues they will have to configure the pieces to get the trophy...1st team to get there wins

The introduction to the game will be a a satin drawstring bag with a paper tag with a picture of Doorknob saying "Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction...Inside the bag will be the following poem introducing them to the game and it will also hold their first clue.

Dear Alice dear Alice what have you done...you have tempted the fates...now just look where you have come.
Once again you have fallen...down the old rabbits hole...it will be that much harder...to return you home.
A golden key is what stands...between this world and yours...it's location a secret...it's been hidden I'm sure.
You must follow the riddles...so you will know where to go...keep track of each one...do not misplace even one.
For at the end you may need them...to find the last spot...just look real closely...maybe you'll see it...maybe you'll not....
