Stage a scavenger hunt as entertainment for kids during the reception
The Grab ’n’ Go Classic Scavenger Hunt
If you're looking for a fun entertainment activity for kids to enjoy while adults mingle at the reception, our Grab 'n' Go Classic Scavenger Hunt fits the bill. It includes unusual challenges for things to collect and team photos to take that will exercise your brain and your funny bone. This hunt can be done in any location, including reception halls.
Your tasks may involve strange and unusual uses for food, new lyrics for old songs, people in uniform, pets, strangers wearing valuable words and more. If you’ve been on scavenger hunts where you’ve had to collect boring things like clothespins and obscure CDs, you’re in for a surprise and a treat.
This hunt works well as an activity during the cocktail party of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. We can also customize it to include challenges involving the guest of honor. It is a creative way to keep the kids busy and engaged. It also works well as an ice-breaker for all guests, young and old.
Just tell us what you need, and we’ll come up with a solution that works for your unique situation. Our job is to produce results that make you look good—and let you relax. Contact us for ideas and details.

Scavenger Hunts in Museums and Historical Neighborhoods
If you're looking for original, unique activity ideas to do during a Bar/Bat Mitzvah weekend, search no further than a Watson Adventures scavenger hunt. We offer scavenger hunts for families and adults throughout New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco that work well for local and out-of-town guests looking to explore the city before or after the Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
The hunts are perfect for guests looking to enjoy reunion activities prior to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
A family in Boston chose our Freedom Trail Hunt to kick off their weekend of events and quickly get members of all ages excited and reacquainted. “It was the highlight of the day,” one member of the family wrote us. “It was great to see relatives both young and old working together, getting a chance to sight-see, and really venturing into the streets of Boston. Even my introverted father said, ‘That was so much fun!’” Learn more about how these hunts work below.
Stage a scavenger hunt as your actual Bar/Bat Mitzvah party
Be truly original and stage a scavenger hunt as your Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah party. It's a great way to provide a fun activity for the kids while the adults get to relax.
Recently, one Bar Mitzvah group chose to organize a scavenger hunt in Grand Central as their celebration. A group pre-teens and teens explored Grand Central, while the adults rented out a nearby restaurant for their own party. We can stage any of our hunts as your Bar/Bat Mitzvah party. Let us know about your group, and we’ll find a hunt that’s a perfect fit. Contact us for ideas and details.
Suitable for Kids Age 7 and Up, in Kids and Teen Versions
For hunts for kids ages 7 to 16, at least one adult per team is necessary. We can provide adult “chaperones” for the teams at an additional cost. Teens can hunt without adult supervision (although we usually think it’s best to have an adult along).

How the Hunts in Neighborhoods, Museums and Parks Work
After our hunt MC explains the game and gets everyone in teams, teams go in search of answers to tricky and humorous questions about the places and things you find, in such amazing places as museums, parks, zoos, and neighborhoods. Although the typical hunt lasts 90 minutes, it is not a race! The hunt is a test of teamwork, not stamina. The emphasis is on fun, not run, so that there’s a level playing field for everyone. During the hunt, the MC and other hunt staffers check up on teams and, if you’re lucky, dole out a hint or two. At the finish line, the MC collects the answer sheets, we score the results while hunters look at the answers, and then we announce the results.
You can provide prizes or have us acquire prizes for you. For added fun, and souvenirs to take home, you can have us equip each team with a digital or Polaroid camera for crazy Team Photo Challenges. We can also add customized questions, such as trivia about the “guest of honor.” No matter what size the group, Watson Adventures’ experienced staff has perfected a variety of ways to make sure the hunters have fun.
