Tips from Beyond the Grave
When you join a Halloween Scavenger Hunt, you need to choose a great scavenger hunt team name. Not only is a fun team name, well, fun, it help conjure team spirit—and the best names earn you points!
Now, coming up with a clever name on the spot—let alone a name themed to your haunted hunt—can be tough. So before you get in the game, take inspiration from these tips, and enjoy these actual team names from our Halloween scavenger hunts.
Remember the Theme
Seriously, you’re on a Halloween scavenger hunt. Just as team names like “Louvre Is in the Air” work for Valentine’s Day scavenger hunts and “Snapes on a Plane” fit Harry Potter scavenger hunts, you want a name that suits the spooky season. Think of words associated with Halloween—witch, graveyard, skeleton, mummy—and work from there. Themed scavenger hunt team names have included…
