SpOoOoOktacular Scavenger Hunt

The most difficult part of this game is actually getting it set up. If you take the time to really think of good clues and you put in a little effort, this game is fun for anyone, young and old!

Supplies

10 or more small pumpkins/gourds - to allow you 5 clues per team
Sharpie markers (Orange and Black, or any color combo you have/want)
Index cards
Flashlights, at least one for each team
Braaaains!!! (Your own, you know, for thinking up clues!)

How to Play

Mark half of your pumpkins with one color sharpie, and the other half with the other color. This way, no teams will "cheat" and if they find another team's pumpkin, they won't "steal" them.

Figure out hiding spaces for your little pumpkins. This really doesn't need to be a huge elaborate affair, I've planned this out before in one room. It will work! You just need to think it out.

Figure out the "flow" of the game for each team. You want to arrange your clues so that the teams will not be on top of each other reading clues, it could get messy! If you are going to have the first clue downstairs for one team, keep the other team upstairs for their first clue.

This step is probably the most difficult for the planner. You need to think of clues! Don't be afraid to get creative here! Use movie references, jokes, spoOoOoOky sayings, whatever! This is YOUR game! Example: Last year, we hid a pumpkin in an outside grill and the clue was "Your next pumpkin is in a very dark place. The clown that put it there told me he was pro-pain".

Hints: Try to make your clues flow in such a way that the final clues for each team will either lead them back to where they started, or to somewhere that you will be standing so that you can clearly see the winning team.Got all of your clues and your pumpkins hidden? Give your teams their flashlights, and give them each their very first clue...get your camera ready for some frighteningly funny moments and watch them go!
