Operation Egghead II - The Great Easter Scavenger Hunt Part 2

Operation Egghead was so popular we had to create a follow up, Operation Egghead II scavenger hunt with new and exciting challenges. This game is not your traditional Easter egg hunt. It includes a variety of exciting activities for all ages to keep everyone involved. There are team challenges, mystery challenges, puzzles to solve, and of course a SCAVENGER HUNT loaded with surprises!

NUMBER OF TEAMS/PLAYERS: Unlimited. We recommend no more than 6 people per team.

What if you only have a few kids participating in this Easter hunt? Instead of dividing them into teams, you can keep them all on one team and have them race against the clock, giving the single team a time limit to complete each section of the hunt, report back to you and bribe you for the next section and so on until the hunt is complete.

AGE RANGE: This scavenger hunt game is an excellent event for families of all ages, kids/teens, youth groups, school groups, and even workplaces.

LENGTH OF HUNT: About 3 hours from start to finish. *The more teams you have, the more time it will take. After the hunt, a 1-hour time slot is recommended to share team's findings, tell their exciting stories, total the points and award the Great Easter Hunters. There are other optional activities that could be added to extend the celebration of the holiday.

PRE-HUNT PREP TIME: For up to 6 teams, you can put our scavenger hunts together in about 6 hours (includes shopping for supplies, reading the scavenger hunt and prepping/printing the materials); obviously as you add teams, you'll need to add time to the pre-hunt prep.

THE WINNING TEAM: We include fun "Personal Award" award certificates. Participants can cast their votes for the most enthusiastic person, the person with the wackiest ideas and more. In addition we have the Great Hunt "Grand Prize" award to the team who scores the most points overall.
