Scavenger hunt a company's annual meeting

Hi Nikki -

A word of thanks -- I used your book to plan a scavenger hunt for my company's annual meeting. The meeting had approximately 30 people was held in downtown Reno, NV.

The meeting's participants couldn't stop raving about how much fun they had on the scavenger hunt and getting to know their teammates along the way. We combined a hunt for actual items (such as a spoon and something gold), a hunt for information (the name of the Civic Leader of the Year, the name of the director a play at a local theater) with a photo hunt (pictures of all team members with their toes in the Truckee River, a picture with a certain employee at a casino, a picture with an art object on the sidewalk). For bonus points, we challenged each team to buy and bring back the most exciting item they could with $5. We then had all the meeting participants vote on the most exciting item brought back by the other groups (they couldn't vote for their own team's item) and awarded bonus points for the winning item. A great time was had by all during the Hunt as well as presenting their exciting item to the other groups.

Your book was very helpful in knowing the types of clues to include, items to search for, ground rules and scoring. We wouldn't have had such a successful event without the help your book provided.

Thanks again
