28 Virtual Scavenger Hunt Ideas for Kids

K-12 Educators Jun 3, 2020

While scavenger hunts are the most fun when played at a live social event, a little bit of creativity can help an educator or event planner create just as engaging of an experience through a virtual scavenger hunt.

These 28 Missions are designed to be fun and engaging for kids playing at home, in a classroom, or at a party. We welcome anyone to use them as inspiration for their own games!

Check out our remote scavenger hunts for more virtual Mission ideas and resources!
