Scavenger Hunts

Introduction

Home On The Range Adventure Tours’ team building programs are unique, challenging, fun and keep everyone involved. We can combine a selection of activities to create one-half day or whole day event. These activities can of course be extended to incorporate as many one-half or whole days as desired. And, we can divide your group into any number of teams that will spend the day competing in, enjoying, and learning from an assortment of events and challenges.

Many of our activities can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, making them perfect for breakout sessions, though most of our exercises are somewhat longer. Groups can often complete 3 - 4 of our individual events within an hour to an hour and a half, and can comfortably complete 5 of our events within a three hour time frame. All of our activities are easily adaptable to group size and many can be conducted either indoors or outdoors.

Pricing will vary depending on the number of individuals participating in an event, on the length of the event, and on the particular team building event selected. Ask our expert event planners for an exact price based on your group and your specific choice of programs.

Here is another exciting idea as to how to spend one-half day with your team. 

Calgary Scavenger Hunt

Here’s a scavenger hunt that is a challenge even for Calgarians. Not only will you explore the best parts of Calgary, you’ll see and learn about some strange and fascinating things that you didn’t expect to find here!

This event doesn’t rely on speed to win, but on how well you earn points throughout the contest. You’ll earn points for visiting a variety of locations in Calgary, collecting as many items on your list as possible, and answering some skill testing questions. You and your team will be using your own vehicles to travel around, and to make matters really tricky, you’ll also earn points for putting as little mileage on that vehicle as possible – let’s see how well you can get around the city. (To keep things fair, you’re not allowed to use any other personal vehicle or rental vehicle.)

Participants need only be in reasonable physical condition and should be prepared for being outdoors for part of the time. (Appropriate footwear and clothing for the time of year is necessary.)

Here are a few sample questions and tasks:

  • What is the address of the cow coloured house north of the river? (Hint: The #10 bus passes right by).
  • What is the highest point in the city where a person can stand?
  • Go to the lowest point in the city of Calgary – what’s in the envelope?
  • How many bronze statues are on Stephen Avenue between 1st Street SE and 4th Street SW?
  • What does this sign say (photo of footbridge over Bow River below Stoney Trail with blurred sign).
  • Visit the Olympic Oval and find an envelope in a red box. Follow the instructions.

On average there are approximately 25 tasks/challenges each group attempts to achieve, however, we can customize it to best suit each of our clients.
