40th Birthday Scavenger Hunt!!
This year on March 2nd was my big 4-0 birthday!! My Friend Jennifer was coming in from CT at the end of March so we decided to combine our parties and have an 80's themed Scavenger Hunt!! It was so much fun and everyone dressed up in their 80's gear to run around town lol!! Here is how the night went down!
Everyone arrived at 2:00 ready to hunt!
Some of the hunters!
We had 2 teams, this time hopefully next time alot more people will be able to come early enough for this part of the fun! And yes, I said next time!! :)
Since we were driving and gas costs a kidney and a liver, I gave them 15 minutes to plan their routes. Each team was given 1 1/2 hours to complete as many of the tasks as they could.
The Planning begins!
Team Poison
Team Dirty Dishwater
My good pal Allison does a scavenger hunt in Canada with her friends, so she was kind enough to send me her score sheets and clues, so some clues I made up and some I took from hers. Thanks Pers!! :) I did not list the Clues that neither team did in this post.
While planning was in the works Team Dirty Dishwater decided for this clue, they would do a sneak attack on the other team then run out the door so the other team couldn't get their shot- Genius!
Clue: Photo of your entire team kung fu fighting another entire team, all members visible
After leaving Team Poison Stunned and in the dust, everyone set out on their adventures!
Clue: Photo of a team member walking the biggest dog you can find- extra points for team with biggest dog
Only Team Dirty Dishwater completed this task, and poor Robin the dog laid down right as she took the leash to walk the dog lol
Clue: Photo with as many 5s in it as possible. You may not create any of the 5s yourself-extra points for team with most 5s
Both teams took pictures with 5's but Team Poison takes the cake with the picture of the aisles at Target
Clue: Photo of at least 2 team members on a bridge, taken from beneath the bridge
I totally expected both teams to hit the PO bridge for this, but they out smarted me and found other bridges!
Clue: A photo of human twins
I realized doing this hunt that next time I need to be a bit more specific in some of these clues lol
Only Team Poison had a picture for this one. They received half points for the effort, but since they were not real twins live in person, the judges decided they did not get full points.
Clue: A picture of one team member feeding another team member a shot of hot sauce from the hot sauce bar at this famous mexican eatery
While both teams got this one Only Team Poison was awarded points. the clue read, "one team member feeding another team member the shot" Team Dirty Dishwater only took a picture of a team member taking the shot of hot sauce.
Clue: Photo of at least 1 team member at a house with garden statues-extra points if there’s a gnome
Both team got this picture, and on Team Dirty Dishwater, I was going to edit it and zoom in, but I wanted to hear Elph complain that Steve "never zooms in!!" LOL
Clue: Photo of at least 2 team members playing leapfrog with at least 3 strangers
Both teams got this, although there was talk of Dragon scaring some children LOL
Clue: Photo of at least one team member on a bench with The Green Market advertisement on it
The Green Market for those that do not know, is a new organic farmers market I am selling my salsa at!
Only Team Poison found a bench and took the picture, although Cari will kill me for this pic, her face is priceless. And doesn't this look like it could of been taken in the 80's? They are just waiting for the bus! lol
Clue: Team photo posing suggestively with fruit or veggies
This one was awesome, both teams scared employees of local stores, but got great pictures. I think Team Dirty Dishwater got a little too into it though LOL and what exactly IS Ross doing with that cucumber?!
Clue: Team photo in a McDonald’s Playplace
Only Team Dirty Dishwater got this clue, poor children in that place... lol
Clue: photo of 2 team members acting like monkeys on monkey bars
Both teams got this one, but Team Dirty Dishwasher's pic takes the cake! WOW!! We were all laughing so hard we couldnt continue with the slideshow lol
Clue: A Picture of your entire team in front of the school where Maria graduated
Both teams got this one, and some even made out like they were back in HS :P haha!
Clue: Picture of at least one team member putting a cart where it belongs at Maria’s Favorite store
I figured while we were out doing the hunt, why not do some good for the community while were at it? Both teams did this task
Clue: Team picture in Maria’s self proclaimed “Office” at Maria’s favorite table.
Teams had to figure out that this was the Panera in PO. Apparently teams were asking around "do you know Maria? is this her favorite table??" lol
Clue: Take a picture of a Relay for Life poster hanging in a business window
Only one team got this, and somehow.. it seemed oddly suspicious.
Clue: Photo of strangers kissing--extra points if a team member kisses a stranger
Both teams not only got this, but felt compelled to kiss a stranger!!
Clue: Picture of a Team member picking up litter
Another one for the community :) Both teams got this one
Clue: Picture of a Team Member asking a stranger for at least a $1 donation for Relay For Life (Bring donation back for Maria’s Team) - Team Poison cheated a bit and gave a dollar to someone to give back to them for the donation, so they only received half points.
Clue: Picture of at least 2 team members in a boat
Both teams got this, although Team Dirty Dishwater actually knocked on someones door that had a boat in their driveway and posed in their boat lol, This same guy they repaid with a kiss from Robin (Shown earlier in the post) for the "Kiss a stranger" Clue
There were other clues that were questions they had to answer about Jennifer or I, and also other clues that neither team completed.
This was such a blast I just cant wait to do it again!! Hope everyone enjoyed themselves and enjoyed the post with the pictures!!
The Random pictures of the after party will be posted on Facebook! Stay tuned!! :)
