Virtual Scavenger Hunt Scavenger hunts are a favorite American pastime — and with a little ingenuity — the fun can be captured in an online version of the game. A virtual scavenger hunt is played best when you have a “team” of a few players in each household. Each player makes a list of items. The more creative you get with your list the more fun the game will be. (For example, rather than just listing an object like a “cup” or “pen,” make an item more interesting like “something your first girlfriend gave you,” or “something your mom saved since you were a kid.”) Once lists are complete one household team shares their list with the other household(s) and the hunt begins! If you can’t think of your own lists, you can try a print out that’s already created.
