Who says you must be in the same room as family and friends to do a fun activity? This virtual scavenger hunt proves that technology and clues can go hand in hand! Adults and teens can use the clues on the screen to find things around the house and race against one another. This is so much fun for a rainy day or a great way to plan a fun activity with those that you can’t be with physically at the moment.

Sometimes, taking a break from the screen isn’t what we all want to do. This is especially true with rainy days, down days, holidays, or just times that you’re missing someone that you can’t be with.

This is where having an online scavenger hunt is a great idea! It steps up the routine phone call or online game. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and even 3rd cousins can grab a phone, tablet, or computer. With one of those electronic devices, all you need next is a will to play – perhaps a bit of youthful energy.

The fun part about this editable scavenger hunt is that you can use the options listed or easily make up your own. This means that you can use the template over and over again so that it never gets old. With each new virtual game, twist up the virtual scavenger hunt list with your own desires and likes. Even fit your clues into any holiday or special occasion.

Not interested in changing it up? No problem. Best of all, even if you play the same game over and over, your answers will be different as the candy you had in the house in October might not be the same candy you have at home in March. Getting started with this scavenger hunt for adults is as simple as downloading the file, having a good internet connection, and allowing the fun searching to begin!

Who will be the winner? Only time will tell!

What age is this scavenger hunt for?

There is no age limit on this scavenger hunt. However, this virtual treasure hunt is best geared toward adults and teens because it requires a smartphone, computer, or tablet. In addition, the virtual treasure hunt really brings out a youthful competitive spirit in adults – reminding adults, they can have fun too!

Play with…

Adults
Teens
Grandparents
Family
Friends

That doesn’t mean that kids can’t join in on the fun. In this case, it is best to have an adult or pair older kids with younger kids for help.

What are the rules of scavenger hunts?

This is a find-it-fast virtual scavenger hunt though it can be played in person too.

The best part about scavenger hunts is that the rules are totally basic. With this printable, 36 scavenger hunt clues are already ready to go. Since the digital file PDF is editable, there is plenty of room for you to add your own.

It’s always a good idea to set some basic rules so that everyone is on the same page.

Decide on a moderator. This person will send a group text for each item to collect. This can be done over a smartphone, Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, etc. They will end the text with go wait for all players to return a photo of the item. The text will look like “First item is something striped… and go!”
Write down the first person to deliver a photo of the item over text or return the item in person or over video.

Figure out if you’re going to take pictures of items to text or if showing the items on the screen works for all. Also, if someone is using a computer and can’t take it with them, you’ll have to make it so that they can bring the item to the room to show on the screen as well. In fact, if you do it this way, you won’t have to get dizzy watching all of the players run through the house to find their item.

These simple scavenger hunt rules mean that you and your buddies can hit the ground running (maybe literally), trying to find all the clues.

It’s a scavenger hunt is a pretty easy game to play and it’s one that you can get started with ASAP!

Virtual Scavenger Hunt Clues

So now for the game – let’s talk about the supplies needed and example Virtual Scavenger Hunt Clues. With just a few materials, everyone is going to be involved and active – and having fun!

The more people that join in on the fun, the crazier and more competitive it gets. It’s always a fun idea to have adults working their brains and bodies – and this scavenger hunt will have them doing just that. It can even be used ice breaker or team building exercise for the office. Have teams compete in different areas of the office and work on problem-solving skills in a unit.

Make sure to have your camera finger ready because there’s a good chance that you’re going to get some epic photo moments on this wacky adventure.

Supplies

Remember how easy I said that this scavenger hunt game for adults was? You’re able to literally print instantly and use it!

Printer (with ink)
Printer paper or cardstock paper (my favorite set)
Laminator (optional – I love this one)
Computer or Smart Phone
Virtual Scavenger Hunt Clues
Optional – Timer

Who presents the virtual scavenger hunt ideas?

You will need to have one person being the moderator. They will be the ones that will present the clue, and then everyone participating will be off to the races. A host is a neutral person that will keep track of the score and the rules.

Example Scavenger Hunt List of Items:

A clothed selfie in a bathtub
Something with stripes
$0.67
A mop
Something broken
A deck of cards
A vegetable

…only photographic evidence or something on screen counts. Get ready to have fun!

These are just a few options – and remember that you can easily add more to create your own unique virtual scavenger hunt lists! With an editable PDF, there are endless options to make and find scavenger hunt clues.

When should I use this scavenger hunt activity?

This can be used for virtual fun! It’s so much fun for a family birthday as a way to hang out with relatives and include them in the day.

Use it for an office party and turn a mundane video conferencing call into a surprise virtual Soom scavenger hunt.

This would also be great to use for:

Virtual scavenger hunt for work
Holiday virtual scavenger hunt
Virtual baby shower scavenger hunt
Free virtual scavenger hunt for employees
Team building activities for youth groups
Family reunion

Having a virtual hunt means that the options are endless in ways that they can be used!

How do you keep score?

Let’s talk about how to score an adult scavenger hunt. The are a few ways to keep track of the winner. The moderator can keep real-time track of team members’ points. A leaderboard can be displayed on a dry-erase board with all participants’ names listed. The host can also text the group after each challenge with a list of each player’s points i.e Adam 8, Sarah 4, Jane 2, Mark – keep trying.

The host can adapt this as needed to fit their environment but generally, the virtual scavenger hunt rules are as follows…

The first person to return an item gets one point. You can also play with first, second, and third-place winners. For each round, the first person to return an item gets 3 points, the second person 2 points, and the last person 1 point.

Add a time limit or just let the wild ~~geese~~ players go. The game-winner is the player with the most totaled points last the end of all the rounds of the Virtual Game Treasure Hunt!

What are good prizes for a Virtual Scavenger hunt?

This game will get competitive. Virtual scavenger hunt games are a fun way to create bonds. Often the gloating, glory, and and team’s morale are enough intrinsic rewards. However, this fun game is for adults – have something really awesome they are going to work for.

Fun adult scavenger hunt prizes include…

Electronic gift cards
Wine
Small liquor bottles
Fancy restaurant certificates
Homemade dinner
Sports tickets
Entertainment tickets
Lottery tickets

While all the ideas are fun, think of a gift that could be sent over email – after all, this is an electronic scavenger hunt! Good prizes will really be a great incentive for crazy participation.

The last question remains…Where can I get this amazing adult scavenger hunt?

25 Interactive Scavenger Hunt Riddles For Teens at Home

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 27, 2023 by Ashley Langston Filed Under: Birthday, Facebook, Games, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Get off the electronics and solve a few challenging riddles! This printable teen scavenger hunt requires brain power and fun sleuthing skills. Teenagers can solve the clues to find a prize! It can be used at a birthday party, sleepover or as a fun activity (just because)! Get ready to see some serious teamwork from the tweens ( that’s off the online game system!)

I love a good scavenger hunt. There’s just something so exciting about reading the clues, running around, and racing against the clock or someone else. Let’s just say that friendly competition is something that I thoroughly enjoy.

In addition to me, ~~a middle aged mom,~~ teens love to have fun too. And guess what?! Fun can occur off the phone and off the game system. Toss the electronics and enjoy a good ‘ole at home treasure hunt.

We’ve put together an epic scavenger hunt filled with fun riddles for teens. The good part about a printable scavenger hunt like this one is that it’s all done and ready for you. You don’t have to stress out thinking about challenging scavenger hunt clues. You don’t have to be a a mission to think of something clever to write that rhymes. We’ve done the hard work for you!

This fun activity for teens is as simple as downloading, printing, and letting the scavenger hunt games begin!

May the odds forever be in your favor!

What are the rules of a scavenger hunt?

Oh! You want rules and some guidance. Sorry, I thought for a second I was dealing with teenagers. Really, the great thing about a teen scavenger hunt is that you can have a basis for the rules, but they’re more than likely going to make some up on their own! The biggest thing to remember is that some printable cards and clues basically tell them what to look for – and that is the only rule that there is…. look for the next clue card until you get to the end.

If you have a lot of teens participating, it might be wise to create some basic ground rules like “no running in the house!” I might add in a few personal rules like “get along” and “don’t wreck mom’s house.” You can split the game up some, like player one finds the first clue, player two the second, etc. so everyone gets a chance to participate.

Other than those simple rules, the game is self-lead… let the games begin!

Printable Teen Scavenger Hunt Clues

The fun part about these clues is that they’re made just for teens! Have them work their brains and try to figure out where the next clue is hidden – and don’t give them any help (or at least for a while.) The hunt comes with answers to the riddles too (in case you find your are stumped as well.)

The more teens that are playing, the funnier it gets. This is because sometimes, more pots in the kitchen make that space too crowded. Who will have the right idea about where the next clue is? You’ll have to sit back and relax and watch to find out.

Supplies

You don’t need a huge list of items for supplies to do this printable activity for teens! I’ve made it easy as possible to print instantly and go!

Printer (with ink)
Printer paper or cardstock paper (my favorite set)
Laminator (optional – I love this one)
Teen Scavenger Hunt Printable Cards

In the microwave

And those are just a few options. Use the clues to be your guide to uncover all 25 of the hidden treasure hunt locations.

How can this scavenger hunt be used?

Use this scavenger hunt for a holiday or special occasion. If hosting a family birthday, each clue might have a new birthday present to unwrap. This could quickly become a family tradition. Save this particular hunt for your tween.

Other great times for a scavenger hunt include…

Just because

Are these hard scavenger hunt clues?

Yes and no. These are challenging scavenger hunt riddles for teens. They are not meant for younger kids. Initially they will be hard scavenger hunt clues, however once your children get the hang of solving these rhyming riddles, they likely will get into a rhythm of guessing quickly. If you have a group of younger kids, pair them with older kids.

Want a variation with a harder modern twist? One fun way to add a bit of an additional challenge is to test the scavenger hunt yourself. See how long it takes you in your dwelling and then challenge the players with a time limit (less than what it took you.) Set a timer. On your mark, get set, go! Racing against the clock adds a bit of excitement.

Need a good reason to spend time with friends and family? These budget-friendly Wine and Cheese Party Ideas, tips, and recipes will have you hosting a memorable and relaxing party. Wine party ideas include fun charcuterie boards, wine party games, and wine-tasting printables.

Wine and Cheese Party Ideas on a Budget

When preparing for your party, consider cheese boards an art form that involves much more than throwing some cheeses and crackers on a plate and serving it to guests. Putting together your first cheese & charcuterie board shouldn’t feel daunting. Follow a few basic pairing guidelines when selecting your ingredients, and don’t hesitate to try something new! We have Wine Party Ideas to match your budget and tips and recipes that you can prepare ahead, not only saving your dollars but saving your time!

Be an Expert – The More You Know

It’s important to be an expert in the field. Okay, maybe not a total expert but at least have a few fun facts in your back pocket. What is in a charcuterie board? Harcuterie (shahr-cute-uh-ree) is a French word for smoked, dry-cured, or cooked meats. Charcuterie itself describes an array of preserved and prepared meat dishes, such as cured sausages, hams, bacon, and more. These aged meats add the perfect addition to a Wine and Cheese Party.

Throwing a Wine Party Hosting Tips

If you are doing the hosting, a few at-home wine party ideas might help. I could have shared almost our entire post of our Party and Hosting Tips in this round-up. Be sure to look at that post as many ideas overlap for hosting a Wine tasting party. In addition to these fun ideas for a white and cheese party at home, make sure you have the right drink. Wine tasting party theme needs different kinds of wine.

Grab a few bottles of wine including

Chardonnay
Cava
Cabernet Sauvignon
Pinot Noir
Sauvignon Blanc
Prosecco
Merlot

Include a grape variety of both red wine and white wine. Know the location of origin for each bottle of wine and try different bottles both locally and around the worth. Popular wine regions might include Argentina, Chile, Napa Valley, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Champagne region of France. If you can not have different wine glasses for a bottle of each wine, then have something to easily rinse out each glass in between tastings.

Wine Party Printables

A few printables help create a wine party ambiance and a bit of fun entertainment. Visit our Wine Tasting Party Games to learn more about what to do at a wine-tasting party. We include printable wine-tasting scorecards, tasting notes templates, and wine party games.

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe – Beach Snacks

March 23, 2023 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media, Summer

Beach friendly food is important when traveling to the sand and sun. This Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe with ranch seasoning mix is easy to prepare, extremely tasty, filling and feeds a large crowd. It’s a family favorite beach snack recipe you will make over and over again.

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe

As a former sand and sun worshiper and native of Florida, I am often asked, “what snacks are good for the beach?” The sun has a way of sucking the calories out of you and often tummies, namely those of the kids, are famished! My first goal of preparing beach snacks is to feed a crowd. If you go to the beach with two kids, you always end up feeding about triple your head count. Kids pick up kids. People also eat larger servings in the sun. I love to make a meal healthy, but I also like to make a hearty snack.

This Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd and is incredibly tasty. Best of all, it is easy to whip up the morning before you head out to the beach or prepare ahead and store in a tightly sealed bag or plastic container. This is a family recipe. My stepmom has made it for years and my kids always ask for it. She makes it without cheese crackers, but this year for our beach adventure, we decided to mix things up. In addition to our oyster crackers, we added Goldfish! I figured this would be a nice touch for our young crowd, three kids two and under!

Also check out our other beach friendly food recipes – Strawberry Mango Salsa. So good!

Other beach friendly foods include peanut butter banana roll-ups tortillas, tangerines, frozen grapes, pre-cut watermelon triangles, strawberry mango salsa, frozen Capri Suns, kids Cliff Bars, and sandwiches. Think fruit, crabs, and protein!

See this Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe is featured in Beach Life Hacks and Beach Tips and Hacks!

Beach Friendly Recipe Adaption: This is best in the slow cooker so you can continuously stir. If your beach house lacks a Crock-Pot, prepare the recipe, lay it out on cookie sheets and let it bake in the sun! If the porch is too windy, bake it in the oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Ingredients:

Optional: Make without Goldfish. Other variations include adding pretzels or substitute with mini Saltines.

You can substitute Mazola corn oil for vegetable oil. We also have changed the oil about pairing 1/4 cup vegetable with 4 TBSP unsalted butter.

Multiply as needed. This recipe will fill about a gallon sized plastic bag.

If you don’t have them, chances are your friends and family do, or hit up a few consignment and second-hand stores. These fun ideas will create an amazing low-budget birthday party camping theme.

We’ve put together more than 25 cute camping birthday party ideas that’ll help you plan the perfect get-together. You’ll find fun party foods like campfire s’mores, campfire hot dogs, and walking tacos. Of course, we’ve found a handful of adorable cake options (including easy cupcakes).

The list includes plenty of fun activities for the little campers to do during the party, like camping charades, camping Bingo, making lanterns, and painting walking sticks. We’ve also found some décor and party favor ideas that’ll really bring the theme together.

Check out these ideas for the best and cutest camping party you’ve ever seen.

Camping Birthday Party Food

S’mores campfire cones are a delicious idea for your dessert table. Provide waffle cones, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows, wrap in foil, and pop them on the grill or in the fire pit for a few minutes. They’ll be a big hit with kids and adults alike! For variations on the recipe, add butterscotch chips, chopped strawberries, etc. You can set up a s’mores station so everyone can personalize their cone. | Frugal Coupon Living

If you’re planning a bonfire for your camp theme birthday party, these camping hot dogs are a must! They’re so easy to make using just hot dogs and crescent rolls. Provide ketchup or mustard to squeeze onto the dogs (optional) as well as cheese dip or barbecue sauce in individual cups for dipping. They’re delicious and filling, and you don’t even need a plate to eat them! | Frugal Coupon Living

This S’mores snack mix would make a great favor or take-home snack for your party guests, but it’s great for munching on while you mingle, too. Toasting the marshmallows gives this snack that S’mores vibe, but you can add them to the mix without toasting them, too. | Cincy Shopper

Walking tacos are an easy main dish to serve at your party with minimal mess to clean up. For this camping-themed party food, pile all your taco toppings into a bag of crushed Doritos or Fritos, grab a fork, and you’re ready to mingle while enjoying your tacos. They’re so good and don’t even require dishes. This fun camping food is an excellent camping party idea for adults or kids! | Frugal Coupon Living

These mini camping cookies are adorable! Set some out on the dessert table or wrap them in cellophane and tie them with a ribbon to hand out as favors at the end of the party. They’re easier to make than you think. Start with cut-out sugar cookie dough, and make royal icing in several different colors. Grab some camping-themed cookie cutters, and you’re all set. | The Decorated Cookie

Make pond water punch for the kids to drink! It’s a mix of blue Kool-aid and Sprite, but any blue drink you’d like works great. Add some fishing floats (and perhaps even a few gummy fish) to complete the look. So cool! | Surviving A Teacher’s Salary

These tent and campfire treats look as yummy as they are cute. They’re made with simple pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand, like peanut butter, Ritz crackers, and fruit roll-ups. If you don’t like chocolate raisins, you could use chocolate chips to make the stones around the campfire instead. The tent is made with graham crackers and caramel apple wrap. How brilliant is that? | She Knows

A trail mix bar is an absolutely genius idea for a camping party. Provide canisters of mini marshmallows, M&Ms, pretzels, cereal, chocolate chips, nuts, etc., for each child to make their own perfect trail mix. | And Everything Sweet

Cakes for a Camping Birthday Party

Birthday cakes make amazing centerpieces. Your guests will definitely ooh and ahh over this amazing lumberjack cake that’s made to look like a log and an ax. The surprise is the buffalo plaid interior. How fun! The peanut butter cracker cookies shown in this post are also terrific for a camping party. | Jenny Cookies (seen in our Father’s Day Cake Ideas)

Chocolate, graham cracker crumbs, and toasted marshmallows come together in these cute, easy, and delicious S’more cupcakes. The Teddy Graham and Hershey bar toppers are ultra-cute! This idea is simple enough that you can use a boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting instead of made-from-scratch if you’re short on time. | Tastes of Lizzy T

What could be more appropriate for a backyard camping birthday party cake than a campfire cake? This one is made with sugar glass for the campfire flames, rolled chocolate wafer sticks for the campfire logs, and a yummy chocolate frosting for the cake. | Simone Made It

What about having individual caping birthday party cakes? Campfire cupcakes are another terrific cake idea for a camp-themed birthday party, and they’re easy to make. You’ll need chocolate cupcakes (store-bought or homemade are both fine), chocolate and red frosting, mini marshmallows (optional), and pretzel sticks. | The Typical Mom

There are loads of great camping cake and cupcake ideas in this post, but the ones that caught our eye are the woodland animals’ cupcakes. You’ll need to be really great at working with fondant to recreate them, but there are other ways to do this, too! Use woodland animal paper cupcake toppers, or make or order some small woodland animal cookies to put on top. | Kara’s Party Ideas

There are so many cute details going on with this camping party that it’s difficult to choose just one idea, but a favorite is the teepee campfire cake. The cake looks like a log, and the fondant campfire and teepee sit on top. You should also check out the centerpieces and the canteen party favors. | Hostess with the Mostess

Camping Birthday Party Décor

Turn bandanas into a party banner to drape from the front of a table, from the ceiling, or above a doorway. You can purchase bandanas inexpensively from most dollar stores, so it’s an easy and fun decoration to put together. Add some greenery by clipping some branches from one of your trees, too. | Design Dazzle

Make the party for your happy camper comes together in no time with these printable camping party cupcake toppers. They feature cute and simple designs with tents, compasses, trees, canoes, and more that’ll go great with any camping theme. | Alice and Lois

A pinecone garland would make a festive piece of décor for a camping party, plus you can reuse it again for the winter holidays! You’ll need some jute ribbon or twine, hooks, and pinecones. For these camping party decorations, it’ll be even more special if you go round up the pinecones from your own backyard! | Redeem Your Ground

Add some greenery to the décor by placing pine branches in galvanized pails or vases embellished with a plaid ribbon. The wooden slice underneath and pine cones in front complete the look. | Studio DIY

Make some campsite signs to show your guests the way to the party! This is such a cute idea, and while I typically see it with wood, making your signs with cardboard is a great party sign alternative if you want to keep expenses down or aren’t handy with a saw and a wood burner. | The Busy Broad

Worried about having a real fire with little ones around? Make a faux campfire with sticks and red, orange, and yellow tissue paper. This idea would also be brilliant as a centerpiece at the dining tables (but on a smaller scale). | Rockin’ Boys

Camping Birthday Party Favors

How fun are these tacklebox favors? They’re filled with gummy worms and wrapped with twine and a fishing bobber with a tag that reads, “Thanks for making my party reel fun.” | Must Have Mom

Make some bandana sacks for the kids to take home. You can fill them with goodies or a few of your favorite things like gummy worms, goldfish, cookies, binoculars, candy, canteens, etc., and they’ll think it’s super cool that they can carry their sacks over their shoulders. Instead of using wooden dowels, consider picking up a few twigs in the yard for a rustic look. They make adorable birthday camping party favors but can also be used to wrap the special guy/gal’s gifts. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Camping Birthday Party Games and Activities

Let the kids make lanterns with glow sticks! This is a safe way for kids to enjoy the lantern experience. If you’re worried about glass jars, provide plastic ones instead. The kids will need some assistance with the wire hangers, or you could attach those to the jars before the party starts. | Frugal Coupon Living

Kick the party off with a fun nature scavenger hunt to entertain the kids. It’s a great activity if you have your party in a woodsy area, but you can simplify the list if you’re hosting the party in an area without many trees, sticks, etc., too. | Frugal Mom Eh! (As seen in our Scavenger Hunts for Kids)

Camping games and charades will have kids and adults alike in fits of laughter. These are easy and fun games for all ages. Print, gather supplies, and play. For the camping scavenger hunt, stick the clues in a jar or bowl, and have each guest come up to act out a scene. You can divide into teams if you want or have a free-for-all. Also, consider these lake games, just add lake water! | Frugal Coupon Living

If you have an outdoor birthday party, consider taking your party go-ers on a camping scavenger hunt around the campsite. Omit whichever camping scavenger hunt clues don’t fit your camping party décor. As they read rhyming riddles and find new clues, you can lead them to find their camping party favors or camping-themed prizes. | Frugal Coupon Living

Camping Bingo is another fun game that’s great for kids of all ages. It’s in picture form, so even toddlers and preschoolers can join in. If you’re hosting this party outside, use small pebbles as your Bingo markers. It’ll add to the theme and help hold down your game sheets. | Glue Sticks & Gumdrops (seen in our Bingo Printables for Kids)

Every happy camper needs a good walking stick to use while hiking and exploring. Let the kids create their own painted walking sticks to take on their adventures. | The DIY Dreamer
