An example of a scavenger hunt we used at Hot Springs for our attendees. Great idea for your friends and family when visiting areas and want to get to know the area beter!
Instructions:
Each team must find the objects below and take an “Usie” in front of the object, displaying the object and the team.
The width of the hunt extends from the Arlington Hotel to the Visitor’s Bureau on Spring Street and the Hot Springs NP, but does not go all the way up the mountain.
Points are determined at the judges’ discretion with full points given based on creativity.
Send your pictures as you take them to Debra at 214/325-0020
Rules:
No cheating – at least none that judges can detect!
Each team member and the found object must be visible in each picture.
Be kind to non CCD attendees while on this busy street.
