Halloween Camera Scavenger Hunt Ideas
- Start your next Halloween party with a scavenger hunt. Halloween scavenger hunts with digital cameras allow everyone to enjoy the discoveries made during the hunt, as you review the photographs during your party. Combine your scavenger hunt with a social mixer by drawing teams out of a hat, so players get to know each other during the hunt.
- Ask your guests to arrive at your Halloween Camera Scavenger Hunt party in costume. Create a list of locations or individuals the team must be photographed at or with during the evening. Some of these could include a police officer, a senior citizen, children, pets wearing costumes and local landmarks. Give each team a time limit of two hours to complete the list. Each item should have a point value with the more difficult ones, in your opinion, having the highest point values.
Teams use digital cameras to take the photos, and then return to the party location. The team that completes the entire list first wins, otherwise the team with the highest point total wins. Spend the evening sharing the photos with the other teams. - Before you organize your camera scavenger hunt, drive around the local area and create a list of Halloween themed items that are displayed in decorations on houses within a 5-mile radius of your house. Create a list from these items. Examples could be a zombie, a mask of a political figure, a black cat or a mask from the movie Scream. You can assign points to items based on how difficult the items are to find, or just determine the winner by which team photographs the most items in the shortest time.
Provide each of the teams with the list that you have created, and direct them to take photos with a digital camera within the time limit allowed. The winning team is the first team to complete the list, or the one with the highest point total. - For the Halloween Candy Photograph Scavenger Hunt, the goal is not to collect as much candy as possible, but to collect as many photographs of candy as possible. There is a twist though, each photograph must be of someone at a home handing out the candy to one of your team members trick or treating. This prevents teams from purchasing the candy at a grocery store and taking photographs of it. Be sure to instruct the teams to ask for permission to photograph the the person before they take their picture with the digital camera. For this scavenger hunt, a list is not required. Instead, the winner is the team that gets the photographs of the most different types of candies being handed out.
