Why outdoor scavenger hunts are so popular

Scavenger hunts are a great activity for kids. But each year, hundreds of thousands of corporate groups take part in adult versions of scavenger hunts as team building activities. Why? It’s simple, because they’re fun!

One of the biggest fears organizers of activities have is “will people enjoy the team building activity”. Most of us cringe at the idea of having to do something juvenile or embarrassing in the workplace. But today, scavenger hunts are more sophisticated, technologically advanced, and challenging.

Using smartphone technology, scavenger hunts today achieve the following:

  • Team problem solving
  • Planning and coordination
  • Exploring a city and its sights
  • Competition and teamwork

Not all scavenger hunts are the same. Some have purpose too! That can be to simply have fun and explore a city. Or to give back to the community and do something good. But what all great scavenger hunts have though is an element of fun!

What might seem like a simple task – go photo and video something in a city – actually becomes a moment of madness and serendipity. Observation, memory and teamwork are all key to earning points and working your way to the top of a leaderboard.
