15 Funny Scavenger Hunt Ideas
At the heart of any adult scavenger hunt are missions that encourage each player to step out of their comfort zone, bond with other players, and most importantly, have a lot of fun while completing their clues for adults. Whether it’s an indoor challenge, an outdoor adventure, or a virtual team-building activity, these hunts are a fun way to promote creativity, collaboration, and team-building event participation.
In this post, we’ve listed some of our favorite scavenger hunt clues, riddles, and missions consistently resulting in hilarious situations and over-the-top submissions from each player.
If you’re already using Goosechase to run your team-building event, these Missions (and many more) can be easily copy and pasted directly into your Experience, or you can tailor them to your adult audience. Planning on paper instead? To start the challenge, you can print and distribute your scavenger hunt clues or riddles to each player.
