THINGS TO SCAVENGE:THINGS TO SCAVENGE:

1. Do not allow members to choose their own teams. Put them strategically together so that all the teams are similar in skill.2. Avoid putting couples together if you’re feeling competitive. They may be too self-conscious to fully participate in the hunt.3. Place people together that know each other well, but are not best friends. Think of everyone’s temperament and make sure there will be no fi ghts.4. Make the teams no larger than fi ve people. You want everyone to be able to fi t in a car.

• BE SAFE!

• Have a clear set of rules for people to follow and a distinct meeting point and time.

• Be willing to take one for the team. The hunt is superior to most other things.
