Looking for something to celebrate before 2016 finally leaves us forever? Need something from this year to look back on fondly? Here’s just the thing: an album of photos from you, the clever, hilarious hunters who made this the biggest year ever for scavenger hunts!
Whether on corporate team building scavenger hunts or public scavenger hunts at the museum or in your favorite neighborhood, you’re often tasked with completing photo challenges. You might have to take a team photo with just your heads showing, or acting scared of a live animal. They’re a lot of fun, and some teams truly get creative with them. Here are 10 of our favorite scavenger hunt photo challenges from 2016, from nine states across the U.S.
1. Frozen in mid-air with a body of water visible in the background
We see what you did there. The best part? The actual body of water depicted in that mural is about 20 feet behind the person taking the photo. Grab’n’ Go Scavenger Hunt, Hoboken, New Jersey
2. With another team, arranged in order by height
Thumbs-up, you guys. Well played. Thrown for a Loop Scavenger Hunt, Chicago
3. With just your heads showing, in an unusual place
These jarheads sure nailed it. Grab ’n’ Go San Diego Scavenger Hunt
4. Treating a staircase like an amusement park ride
Extra credit for acting silly in Times Square! Grab ’n’ Go Scavenger Hunt, Times Square, New York
5. Doing…uh, whatever it is they’re doing in this one
Your guess is as good as ours, but at least they’re having fun. Except maybe the woman peeking into the business end of that cannon. Duck! Grab ’n’ Go Deluxe Scavenger Hunt, Connecticut
6. Showing respect to someone in uniform
A superhero uniform counts. Not sure the potty-mouthed Deadpool deserves that much respect, but we’ll allow it! French Quarter Grab ’n’ Go Scavenger Hunt, New Orleans
7. Showing off your muscles
Now that’s an appropriate response to a Marvel superhero. Grab ’n’ Go Deluxe Scavenger Hunt, Disney Springs, Orlando, Florida
8. Eating or drinking something in an unusual way
Siri, beer me. Mad Science Scavenger Hunt, Museum of Science, Boston
9. Using your bodies to spell out the name of something visible in the photo
Another one where we’re not sure what they’re going for here. Are they spelling…top, maybe…? Anyway, they went for it! Mad Science Scramble Scavenger Hunt, Liberty Science Center, Jersey City, New Jersey
10. Acting scared of a live animal
You guys are a resourceful bunch, and we love it! Also, yeah, running into that in real life would be pretty terrifying. Grab ’n’ Go Deluxe Scavenger Hunt, Providence, Rhode Island
