My buddy and I are trying to organize a limo scavenger hunt in the Pittsburgh area and we’re running short on ideas, so I thought I’d turn to the collective wisdom of the Dope.
Anybody ever run one of these before or participated in one?
They don’t have to be Pittsburgh related (not at all really), just any ideas.
Some things we have now are:
Get a picture of your group with a bachelorette
A shamrock of some sort (we’re operating out of an Irish pub).
A $2 bill and a Sacagawea dollar
Something with three sets of double letters in it (ex. green balloon)
Other pictures of the group would be fine too. Puzzles would be good, but we’re struggling with that.
At any rate, your help would be greatly appreciated!

You might have to be a little more specific on your theme, otherwise it’s just free association on my part. (Minus the dirty bits, of course.)

If it needs to be preserved for a while they can spray some hairspray onto it. Designate a minimum size for the web.[/li][li]Left handed anything[/li][/ul]
I’ve done a few of these, but can barely remember anything…
A discarded high heel (not necessarily attached to the original shoe)
If you involve disposable/inexpensive cameras (or, more expensively, Polaroids), there are a lot more things you can do.
We had a video scavenger hunt once - the guests were divided into teams and every team needed to have a video cam. Some of the tasks included:
Standing by a boat with a particular name and singing the Popeye the Sailor song.
Going to a creek in a particular park and doing a “documentary” using a Jacques Cousteau style.
Finding a deserted baseball diamond and doing “baseball stuff” - this apparently included a lot scratching and spitting.
Sitting on the lawn tractors at Sears and singing the Green Acres theme.
Collecting business cards from as many different realtors as possible .
If I was ambitious enough, I’d try to find my copy of the video and watch it to jog my memory.
Well, you have a vinyl 45, and a cassette tape, so you need an 8 track tape.
A picture of a (live) mime/clown with the group.
A picture of the group with a mounted police officer (horse, not bicycle)
A baby tooth.
A 2 cent stamp (some things have to be easy.)
A sea shell.
A copy of a Dick and Jane book (or Dr Suess).
A calendar from 2004.
A lapel pin from a restaurant chain ( Like a Friday’s, or Chili’s)
A garter.
My Little Ponies are insidious. I have a picture of one atop an armed vehicle in Iraq, there is no escaping them…Must be at least one in Pittsburgh. Now that I have mentioned it, you’ll see hundreds, their reproduction rate is unbelievable.
