Downtown Photo Scavenger Hunt
Prep: Gather materials-props and costumes. Split guests into teams- have a team leader, time keeper, runner, tech crew that documents missions, and material holder. Give each team a list of Group Missions and a list of Bonus Points. Then give an Individual Mission card to each person. Have them dress up in ridiculous costumes that cause attention and instruct them to parade around Lafayette while completing the missions.

#6 Pick any sign and act out exactly what that sign is saying
#7 Find a statue or a fountain to imitate, and pose for 2 minutes.
#8 Wear a “Meat is Murder pin and go into a fast food restaurant and order a hamburger, but then realize that you forgot about becoming a vegetarian and runaway.

Creative Missions:
-at a diner, sit down with someone sitting at a table for two (but there is only one person, two including you). Shake hands, introduce yourself and say “Hi Mr. Waldo, I’m _______ I apologize for being 10 minutes late for the job interview we scheduled today.” After the person has admitted to not being Mr. Waldo, look embarrassed and look around the diner and try to search for the real Mr. Waldo. Pretend to point at him, but then decide (outloud) that you don’t care about the job position anymore and run out of the diner. Purpose: to leave the fake Mr. Waldo perplexed and confused.
-walk around and pick a couple to run up to. Look very excited, and act like one of them is a famous person (ex: Johnny Depp, Lindsay Lohan) whip out your autograph book and insist that that person sign. After they sign, run away proclaiming your happiness of the experience.
-walk remotely around the a group of little middle schoolers (it would be best if they had the “I’m cool” look, and they are riding their skateboards”, and audibly mumble “you little whippersnappers. You hooligans! And ruffians! Kids these days” (typical lines an old person thinks)
-wear your prom dress or a fancy dress and ride your skateboard through a common area
-walk into a dry cleaning store and quiz an employee on random trivia questions, having nothing to do with dry cleaning. The first time he/she answers incorrectly, claim that you cannot trust someone who did not know the answer to that question with your laundry.
-go to a store, complain about something, ask to see the manager, as soon as the manager comes, immediately start speaking a different language
-act out these famous scenes/songs from Musicals (examples :La Vie Boheme, Hair, Ding Dong the With is Dead, Seasons of Love, Aquarius, Wicked, Hairspray, Fiddler on the Roof, Follow the Yellow Brick Road etc…)
-two people create a scene: Stage a classic breakup.
-walk
