Scavenger Hunt Questions

What is a good scavenger hunt for a family reunion?

The best family reunion scavenger hunts combine two formats: a photo scavenger hunt (capture moments on your phone) and a classic find-someone hunt (locate family members who match certain criteria). Both formats work for all ages, encourage mixing between family branches, and create lasting memories.

How do you run a photo scavenger hunt at a family reunion?

Distribute the photo hunt list at the start of the reunion. Teams of 2-5 people have 1-2 hours to photograph as many items as possible. At the end, teams count completed items — or share photos in a group chat for everyone to enjoy. Award prizes to the team with the most photos, or vote on the most creative shots.

What prizes do you give for scavenger hunt winners?

Great prizes for family reunion scavenger hunt winners include: gift cards ($10-25), a funny trophy or ribbon, a framed group photo, a family cookbook, or special dessert picks at dinner. For kids, candy, small toys, or choosing the next activity works well. The best prize is often just the bragging rights — make a big deal of announcing the winners!
