A City Scavenger Hunt
Engage in a lively city scavenger hunt that tests your fitness and brainpower. Follow clues to explore the city and find hidden objects. Perfect for sporty couples or those seeking something different!
- The morning of the date, you give your partner the first clue to start the scavenger hunt. Clues could be riddles or puzzles that hint at specific locations or landmarks in the city. You could either turn this date into a race or a leisurely exploration depending on your fitness levels and preferences.
- As you run, walk or cycle from one spot to another, you get to explore the city like never before, discovering hidden gems and iconic landmarks. Each location has a hidden object or a token as proof of finding the spot, which adds to the excitement and thrill of the game. Despite the competitive element, it's all in good fun, and both of you support and help each other in finding the hidden objects.
- After you have found all the hidden objects, the city scavenger hunt concludes at a beautiful spot in the city, where you can rest, relax and enjoy the views. Reflect on the amazing adventure you just had, the places you discovered, and the fun challenges you completed together. A picture taken here would be a wonderful memento of this unique date.
Preparation steps:
- The night before the date, prepare the clues and hide them in various spots around the city. Ensure they are in safe and public spots to minimize any safety concerns. If you're not keen on writing your own clues, consider using an app or a scavenger hunt website to help you set the game up.
- Choose a mix of locations - some well-known landmarks, some obscure spots. This ensures a good mix of easy and challenging tasks. Also, include a variety of physical activities - like climbing a set of stairs or running a particular distance, to add a sporty touch to your date.
- Lastly, prepare a small goody bag or token to be found at each spot. This could be simple items like a keychain, a handwritten note, a small toy, etc.
Some tips:
- Wear comfortable shoes and clothing as there will be a significant amount of movement involved. Carrying a small bag with essentials like water, snacks, and sunscreen may also be beneficial.
- Remember the main goal is to have fun and enjoy the city, so don't take the competition too seriously. Help each other out, brainstorm together, and share the victory as a team.
- If using a scavenger hunt app, plan your route ahead of time so you have a smooth-running date. If managing the hunt in person, double-check all the spots to ensure the clues/objects are still in place before the date.
