Outdoor & Indoor Scavenger Hunt Clues

Image
  When it comes to creating clues for a scavenger hunt it doesn't matter if it's an outdoor scavenger hunt or in today's world an indoor scavenger hunt, getting clues are pretty simple. It's just a matter of what type of scavenger hunt do you want to create and what the age range of players you have. In other words is this going to be a scavenger hunt for adults, or is this going to be a scavenger hunt for kids? Once you have that clear idea of who you're creating the game for then you know what type of scavenger hunt clues you are looking to create to implement them into their game. So what we're gonna do here today is show you the very basic fundamentals of creating scavenger hunt clues. We're going to start with a typical outdoor game and then bring it indoors for your indoor scavenger hunt or your office scavenger hunt. Outdoor Scavenger Hunt Clues When creating an outdoor scavenger hunt you are not looking to creating an amazing race. You are looking to...

10 Creative Photo Scavenger Hunt Ideas!

Image
Scavenger hunts have always been popular for decades and the evolution of the scavenger hunt has indeed grown. However the concept still stays the same :)  It's never been easier to organize and run a photo scavenger hunt as part of a team building, educational, or recreational event. Being a scavenger hunt game producer for 20 years creating premium games, the creative process never ends..and that’s the best part!    I have provided a small list of some that have resulted in my favourite photo submissions through the years. Wedding Crashers:  If you happen to notice a couple / family taking their wedding photos ask if you can take a picture with the wedding party.  Not only will it make for some cool points, but a great conversational piece! Optical Illusion : Be creative with your team by creating an optical illusion, this is done by positioning your players before taking the photo. I.E: A team member holding the rest of the team in their hand Public Art: ...

Time to adapt to another game

As we enter our 20th year creating these premium scavenger hunts for our clients we have to come to the realization as to what is "next". Our reputation of recreating ourselves has been the mission from day one and continues to be with the simple factor of staying "fresh and new" and most importantly unpredictable. The moment you become predictable then you have lost and your business will start taking a nose dive. So with that said this year we decided to add another branch of our business and create a smartphone version of our game. Granted I have tried to refrain from going into that direction because we know our clients and our players and they love to hold the materials they receive and appreciate the art of it..It's something we pride ourselves on. However we do have to realize that it's 2019 and well...you also have to be relative to society today. So with that said the smartphone version is going to be a version that will be an easier version of ...

CASHUNT CHAMPIONSHIP XIII in "Havahd Squah"

Image
    This year's Championship will be held on October 27th and usually for the past 3 years we have held it in Salem Ma during Haunted Happenings which is always so much fun.  But this year we are changing it up a little bit, we will be hosting the game in Harvard Square and the Back Bay area.  What changed our mind was after researching the Harvard Square area for our new game "The Havad Yahd Dash" we thought it would be the ideal place to host our championship there because there is soooo much detail in that area alone.  Also by including the Back Bay area it just expands the game so much more…the bigger the area the better.     As we did last year our finals will only include our 2 top teams of the year..we think it becomes so much more competitive when you have it that way..when we had it as the "final four" for the past 11 seasons something lacked and it just didn't seem right..but by doing it this way ..it just works like a well oiled machine. ...

CHI-TOWN IS GETTING HOT! Chicago is becoming a hot and a great location for our Cashunt games! In Chicago we are now offering 4 of our top games: The Dash, The Amazing Chicago Dashunt, Bridal Dash and our Birthday Hunts. Our games take place in most of the key areas of Chicago The Loop, Millenium Park, Navy Pier, Grant Park, and Daley Plaza just to name a few.. I Think what sets us apart from other games in the industry is that our product offers a great deal of game for a very great price and also the game doesn't always end that day...there's more to it. We used the same blueprint in Chicago that we have always used in Boston that has made Boston a top city for Cashunt with our Boston clients and we continue to use the same blueprint in New York City and Las Vegas. Our philosophy is we do not want to be everywhere in th country Bam! all at once..we like to take it one major city at a time and really focus on that city. Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities in the count...

WOW! WHAT A SEASON THUS FAR! TEAM BREAKS FIDELITY'S RECORD! Ok our reaction has not been that explosive as it is this year, but like I have mentioned before this is by far the best season of the last 9 years. Why you may ask? The teams have been fantastic and extremely competitive in the first quarter of this season! We have also seen the top four change completely 7 times and the Record for the highest score of all time was broken last week by the Mamma Jammas! Fidelity has owned that record for 3 years their score of 12,425 (an unbeatable score) was blown wide open by the Mamma Jammas with 12,800! With that score I think that will secure this team a position in the Championship, but then again the way this season has been going anything can happen!

HUNT AND BE HUNTED BY OTHER TEAMS! Rememeber when you play a Cashunt no matter what version you are playing always expect the unexpected! When it comes to days where there are multiple games being conducted on the same day, we set teams from one game hunting for another. The beauty of this bonus round is that not only are players playing against their own group but they are playing against other teams from other games for contention for a spot in the finals. So with those two dynamics it causes a hysterical frenzy for teams hunting teams all around the city. For example this past saturday we has 5 different games 10 different teams all hunting one another unknowingly, it was a fun little test but the outcome was fantastic. So expect the unexpected when you play the game because you never know what we have up our sleeve...
Twithunt Beta was a success! This past weekend we added a beta bonus round in our new Hide and Seek game in Boston. The beta bonus round was a round that was used with twitter. Both teams had to have at least one smart phone on their team, where in turn they would get special instructions to race around the city via twitter looking for bonus items that were planted The other attraction was people outside the game could in fact follow the game and also be a part of the game in some form. The end result was exciting and in turn the test was a success. The Twithunt Bonus round will be included in only some of our games this summer.. If you want it to be included in your game please indicate that with a game coordinator. See Ya! Chris
Twitter Cashunt and Follow The Action! Now you can follow all the fun of a Cashunt on Twitter! You can get last minute updates, twitter public hunts that are open for everybody where you can win prizes, news, and much more! We have added a fun addition to all our games where players can tweet their cashunt experiences during the game and share it with family and friends at home. It's just another way that we are making Cashunt more interactive and intimate. We will also be adding a tweet hunt bonus round on some games where the clues will be given through a twitter app. We are really excited about this new addition and we are sure our players will be too..

Hide and Seek is now now avialable for bookings for the 2009 season. This game will also be the championship game for the Cashunt Championship IX, so we are pretty excited about that also. Hide and Seek as mentioned before will set teams on a wild hunt for envelopes, but each envelope will consist of special challenges or points. The special challenges we have in store are funny, creative , competitive and each game will be different each time.
Hello Everyone! First of all thank you afor enjoying our podcast, thank you for the nice comments. It's been a couple of weeks since my last post, but we are heading into busy time again so it's getting try. So what I want to mention are a couple of things first is we are going to offer an incentive plan for past players. How this is going to work is if you are a past player of Cashunt and you refer a person to us you might get compensated. The person you refer would need to call us mention your name and the names of the teams that played in your game and if we book them, you get $25 sent to you! We tried this last year and it worked very well, and it was some free money to our past players. This promotion will start as of June 1, 2009.. The last thing I want to mention is of our last new game for 2009 "Hide and Seek"...This game will consisit of a bunch of strategically placed envelopes hidden around the city. Once your team reaches an envelope it will...

Once again The Bridal Dash season of Cashunt has begun! The Bridal Dash has been one of our top games in the Cashunt family! So once again we as we always do we are offering our "Brides Play Free Promotion" which means if you have over 10 players the bride plays for FREE! We have been doing this every year, so why quit a good thing.
Giving Back Is Important... There is nothing better than giving back to the public, it's something I strongly believe in. Here at Cashunt we have our giving back program which gives back to a certain organization to help some people in need out. We have many organizations that have requested our services in order to help raise money for their cause. If you are planning a future event and are looking for something different to do for your organization, give us a call.

Meet Your Season 9 Leaders A Score That Will Be Tough To Beat! It's only week two of Season 9 of Cashunt and we already have a team to beat...yup that's right. The Debuantes scored 11,050 points which not only is it a high score to begin with but almost broke the all time record that is being held by Fidelity Investments! They did so well that we actually might see this team at the end of the season. It's not to often you see 10's or in this case 11's in this game. Also, this was a four person team that did this in the dead of winter. One Word...Impressive. So we here at Cashunt tip our hats, and wish you the best of luck.. The rest of you try to knock them off :)

The Secret Race is Ready ...Set... And A GO!!! We are proud to announce that The Secret Race is ready for bookings for 2009. A lot of people were curious as to what this game is like and we must say it has EVERYTHING!! We really took the time for this game to set itself apart from past games and give our players a new challenge. There will be a couple of aspects of the Cashunt tradition inside but this is a brand new cake all in itself. It will give players a competition that will amuse and challenge themselves at every moment in the game. It will also give them opportunities to sabotague the other team as well. We have incorporated a few new aspects to the game including tech, so it will keep them challenged along the way and our new "pit stop challenge". We welcome to call our visit the site for more information about this new and fun game. Great for any type of event and can be played in either Boston or New York City** **NYC is for corporate events until further notice..
