Oakland Cemetery Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Goals & Outcomes
Agenda & Activities
Welcome & Warm-Ups (5-10 minutes) Our staff welcome the participants to the hunt and get everyone ready for a great event. We then lead some fun warm-up activities that also randomly create small teams.
Team Up! (5-10 minutes) Teams take a few moments to create a name and slogan for their team, and build some team spirit and unity.
Event intro (5 minutes) Our fun and energetic staff give the group a quick tutorial on the app and other event materials to ensure a smooth start.
The Haunt (1-2 hours) Teams use the interactive map in the app and items within the graveyard to unlock a variety of challenges. Activities include:
- Mystery Ghosts: Cryptic clues that can only be seen using the app in just the right location will lead teams to the plots of 13 resident ghosts.
- Celebrity Encounters: Whenever teams find an Atlanta Challenge facilitator in the hunt area, they will take a group photo with a surprise celebrity!
- Specter Spotter: Teams try to find and identify various iconic headstones throughout Oakland. They’ll need to keep a sharp eye out.
- Photo Fun: An essential part of any scavenger hunt! Teams find the perfect location and strike their best pose in these fun photo challenges. They’ll take photos with famous residents, historical markers, supernatural scenes and more.
- Cryptic Brainteasers: Teams work on this collection of various mental challenges for extra points as they travel, which ensures that everyone has something to do that requires their unique strengths.
- Trivia: Teams answer trivia questions about different historical figures, Atlanta events and other fascinating facts found within the cemetery.
- Video: Creativity abounds in these projects. Teams complete the cat walk challenge, fashion critiques, and movie reenactments to name just a few.
- Rendezvous Challenges: Our facilitators are strolling about the grounds, waiting to give teams some spirited bonus challenges.
Scoring (5 minutes) Teams turn in their materials, and then the final scores are dramatically revealed.
Wrap-Up (5 minutes) We end with a few final thoughts and an awesome group picture.
