Thread: Witches Brew Scavenger Hunt

Tweet

Need some ideas from all the creative people on the forum! I have this idea for a scavenger hunt. About 10-15 items will be hidden around my city and each has to do with a witches brew theme. For ex.. I will hide "eye of newt", "wing of bat", etc etc... Just need some help coming up with clues to find them. I thought about doing an audio clue on a cd? any ideas for that? Also having people do word searches with hidden messages, cryptograms and so on. Any help on coming up with ways to make clues would be awesome!

Sounds like you have it under control. Go with what you described. I like the idea of word searches. Maby you could take a picture of the hiding place with just a hint of the actual location, like a cemetary and the name on the tombstone or a crypt or mausoleum.

Ghost hunter I am involved in geocaching which is a scavenger hunt based using a GPS. If you PM me I can help you to set this up.

poems or a few short sentences to give hints to help the players find the next location. A set of pictures giving them a map to the next location, such as a main road, maybe a street sign with a distinctive house, and then an picture of the destination. CDs would be good as long as everyone has a cd player handy, maybe send out flyers beforehand so people know to have them.

I did a scavenger hunt a few years ago and it was great. We made up Halloween type rhymes for the clues. All of my guests found everything.
I do like the picture idea though...hmm....
