A scavenger hunt is a game where participants search for specific items or complete tasks based on a list provided to them. These hunts can take place indoors or outdoors and are often organized for parties, team-building events, or educational purposes. Players may work individually or in teams, and the goal is to find all the items or complete the tasks as quickly as possible. Scavenger hunts can vary in complexity, from simple lists for children to more challenging clues for adults. They encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Popular themes can include nature, history, or even specific locations like museums or parks.
