Photo Scavenger Hunt Party Game
Teams leave with a list and come back with photos, not souvenirs.
- Players
- 4–16
- Time
- 20–40 min
- What you need
- A phone per team and a list of prompts
Why it works as a party game
A photo hunt gets a group moving without losing them. The phones are cameras, and the party is the judging when everyone returns.
How to play
- Write ten prompts that can be photographed where you are, plus two that require talking to someone.
- Split into teams of two or three. Each team uses one phone.
- Set a return time. Photos taken after that do not count.
- Judge together, one prompt at a time. Funniest legal photo wins the point.
Hosting tips
- Stay inside the venue or the block you agreed on. A hunt is not a reason to wander off.
- Do not ask teams to take photos of strangers who did not agree.
- Award a bonus point for finishing all ten, so speed matters as well as jokes.
