College Treasure Hunt

I am planning a College Treasure Hunt. The hunt will be held on the college campus which is around 800-1000 acres or maybe more. I would like the hunt to be full of riddles, brain teasers, tasks, and clues... The duration of the hunt will be 6-8 hrs.


College Treasure Hunt Response:

Hi Mita!

The type of hunt you want to hold requires a lot more information. It would be impossible to create a hunt like that without knowing where clues would be hidden, what items would be hidden, etc.

I can certainly help you with ideas if you post some of the hiding locations or some of the items you want to hide in the comment box below - one detailed item/location at a time.

It's not clear if you want to use clues to go from place to place and then arrive at a treasure or if you also want to collect items along the way so maybe you could clarify that also.

A simple example of a clue leading to a challenge might be:

Somewhere around the picture of the man that founded this college is a number. That number corresponds with a locker number on campus. Find that locker and you'll find a clue to the location of the combination you will need to open the locker and find your next clue.

Important note: I don't know if there is a picture of anyone hanging at your school. I don't know if you have lockers or whether you use combinations or keys to open them if you do. I also don't know if your lockers are numbered. I hope this will give you an idea of the kind of detail that is needed to assist with ideas for this college treasure hunt.
