25 Fun Virtual Scavenger Hunts Ideas For Remote Workers
Want to organize a virtual scavenger hunt but don’t know how? Let’s help you out with some tips and scavenger hunt ideas.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — If you have been on our website before, you would have noticed that we are all about scavenger hunts! Riddle-base hunts, holiday-themed hunts, outdoor or virtual hunts, clue-based hunts, seek and find-based scavenger hunts – whatever kind of scavenger hunt you can think of, we love them and can give you all! But today, we will be talking about virtual scavenger hunts and how you can incorporate them into your team-building fun activities.
Virtual scavenger hunts are remote games where players compete against each other to find or solve the most questions off a predetermined list for an allotted time. For example, players might be required to take selfies with pets, search for worst-dressed pictures on Google or take silly videos to earn points.
Just like its outdoor counterpart, a virtual scavenger hunt involves chasing down items, solving riddles, following clues, and getting the excitement out of solving mysteries. But more than its fun advantages, a virtual scavenger hunt can also build togetherness, trust, and problem-solving skills amongst workers in a virtual team.
How To Host A Virtual Team Scavenger Hunt For Work
So, you have decided to host a virtual scavenger hunt for your remote workers but don’t know how to go about it? No worries, we’ve got you covered with the following tips:
Tip 1: Choose a scavenger hunt company like 212Quest to help you create a customized virtual scavenger hunt suitable for your team. Or, choose a DIY idea from our list of virtual scavenger hunts below.
Tip 2: Whether you are outsourcing the services of a scavenger hunt company like 212Quest or hosting a DIY hunt, you need to decide on the theme and how long it will run. Do you want a Christmas-based scavenger hunt, something spooky for Halloween, hunts that relate to your organizational goals, or something specific to your team? Then go for it! You also decide on how long the scavenger hunt should last. You can go for a week-long scavenger hunt if you want players to find clues daily or 2-4hours.
Tip 3: Make a list of the items you want your team to find during the scavenger hunt. Your list shouldn’t be too long or too short – just the right size for everybody to have fun. You also want to select the medium by which you will be getting the clues from players. Would you want them to email you the pictures, use Facebook, slack, or through a video conferencing platform? You decide that too!
Tip 4: Send out invitations to players that will be participating in your scavenger hunt. Share clues and instructions on how to find them with the players. Don’t forget to set game rules and define what “winning the game” means to avoid confusion.
Tip 5: Collect responses and celebrate the winners. Also, don’t forget to add a little gift for your winner.
