This section will give you lots of ideas on how to make your hunt more unique and interesting. It will help you find a theme and design. It will also offer a few creative twists. You don't have to use all of the ideas from this list. Choose the ones that appeal to you the most. This will make it a lot easier to come up with items. If you are having a scavenger hunt as part of a party, consider tying the theme to the party's theme. For example, if your party has a superhero theme, give the scavenger hunt a superhero theme as well. Use items that the superheroes would use, such as masks and capes. Here are some more ideas to get you started:  Base the scavenger hunt off of the guests' interests. For example, if the scavenger hunt is for a literature class, base all of the items of the different books the students are reading. If Harry Potter is on the list, consider including items such as broomsticks, owls, capes, and feather quills. You can even set the hunt up in a library. Base the scavenger hunt off of a holiday. If the hunt is during October, consider giving the hunt a Halloween theme. Have the players search for items that are related to Halloween, such as pumpkins, black cats, bats, spiders, witches, and skeletons. Focus on your location. If your scavenger hunt takes place in a park, scout out the park first and write down some things you notice, such as a weird-looking tree or a particular statue. You don't want the players to look for something that does not exist. Invent your own theme. You can base the hunt off of any theme you want. Here are a few just to get you started: animals, books, food, historical time period,  ocean, movies, musical theater, rainforest, superhero, video games, and so forth. The players will need to figure out what the item is before going to find it. This is great for scavenger hunts that involve taking pictures. You can also make the riddles rhyme. For example:  Instead of writing down "toaster," you could write, "I make toast crunchy and warm." Instead of writing "bookmark," you could write: "I save your place in a book." Instead of writing "needle and thread," you could write: "We go hand-in-hand as a pair, and you might use us to repair a tear." Instead of writing "broomstick" you could write: "A witch may use me to get around, but most will use me to sweep up the ground." Start with a bingo grid and write the name of an item in each square. Have the players check off the items that they find. The first person to get five marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line wins.  This is great of scavenger hunts that take place outside or in a nature park. Consider basing the items on your grid off of the location. For example, if you are having a scavenger hunt at a beach, you could include the following: sea shell, sunbather, sand castle, seagull, crab, barking dog, and towel. For example, you can tell your players to look for something blue, something soft, and something green. They player writes down what they found (a blue marble, a bunny rabbit, a green leaf) in the blank spaces you provide for them. The first person to complete the sheet wins.  This is great for nature walks and parks. Make sure that your list is related to the location. You don't want the players to look for something green if they are in a desert or rocky cave. You don't want to make your scavenger hunt too difficult for young players, or too juvenile for older players. Shorter lists with easy to find items would be suitable for young children while longer lists (with clues) might be more interesting for teens and adults. Here are some more ideas:  For young children, use large fonts and lots of colors. Try to have no more than 10 items. It might also be a good idea to include a picture of the item, in case some of the players are still learning how to read. For older children, use large fonts and lots of colors, but omit the pictures. Put between 10 and 15 items on your list. For teens and adults, use a regular sized font. You can use colors to make the list look nicer. Your players may also find clues more interesting than simple item names. This will make your list more interesting to look at. You can print your list out on attractive printed paper, or add a picture to the bottom of each list. Here are some ideas to get you started:  If your scavenger hunt has a beach theme, print the list on some beach-themed stationary paper. You can also include a picture of sand, a palm tree, and some ocean waves at the bottom of your list instead. If your scavenger hunt takes place outside in a part, try to find some stationary paper that has a leaf border. If your scavenger hunt is for an English class, consider including images at the top, bottom, or around the edges that are relevant to the books the students had read. For example, if the students have just read Harry Potter you could include pictures of owls, wands, and broomsticks. If the hunt is has a Renaissance or Medieval theme, consider using old-looking parchment paper instead. Use a fancy font that looks like it was written with a calligraphy pen.

summary: Know that there are a lot of ways to step up the creativity of your hunt to the next level. Establish a theme. Instead of writing down item names on your list, write down what the item does. Turn a scavenger hunt into a bingo game. Give the players a list of items to find and have them write down the item in blank space provided. Keep the ages of the players in mind. Match the theme of your list to the theme of your scavenger hunt.
