Party challenge guide
Photo scavenger hunt
Send the teams out. Bring the stories back.
A photo hunt lets guests move, improvise and make something together. The strongest prompts reward creativity rather than speed alone, and the shared reveal becomes the real finale.

How to play
Give the table a clear rhythm.
Use this as a quick first-game guide, then keep the official rules close for edge cases and exact details.
Set the safe boundary
Show every team where they may go, when they must return and which people or spaces must not be photographed.
Share the prompt list
Give all teams the same mix of easy, creative and bonus prompts with visible point values.
Assign team roles
Choose one device holder, one prompt keeper and a timekeeper, then let roles rotate during the hunt.
Return and submit
Teams select one image per completed prompt and send or show them using the agreed method before the deadline.
Reveal and judge
Display the strongest entries, verify the required elements and award both prompt points and declared creative bonuses.
Before the first turn
Set up for a smooth start.
- Define a safe area and a clear return time.
- Ask permission before photographing people outside the game.
- Prepare prompts that do not require trespassing, purchases or risky behaviour.
- Choose how teams will submit and display photos privately.
Make it a season
Score the idea, not just the speed.
Give clear completion points and reserve a smaller bonus pool for originality. The reveal then celebrates every team rather than only the fastest runners.
