Make a typical walk-a-thon more interesting by adding riddles leading the participants to the treasure. Use interesting riddles to describe common businesses more creatively. Come up with instructions such as "take a picture of something blue". Beforehand, place the items to be found in the hunt. You can also give the participants challenges to complete at the riddle location before they continue to the next location.
Corporate Teams puts together "Mission Impossible" style scavenger hunts for area groups. The purpose of this hunt is to win using strategy. Teams must complete two types of challenges. In clue challenges, teams must crack a code to get their next clue. In photo challenges, teams look for a series of pictures and then take their own team photo, relating to the photo challenge. When the hunt is over, the team that has collected the most performance revenue, by solving challenges, will be declared the winner.
Treasure hunts can be set up with two sets of clues; one set for adults and one for kids. For small kids, you can use pictures instead of words or cut out letters that they have to find and unscramble to find the treasure. You can also create a treasure map that's simple enough for a child to follow. Another idea is to place clues inside homemade treasure balls, which the kids can break open.
