How does a classic ScaVenture (for example the Old City scavenger hunt) work

  1. Each group is divided into teams.
  2. Each team will receive a pack that includes maps, stickers, information sheets, notepads, pencils, picture packs and more.
  3. Each person on the team has a role. There is a leader, detective, note keeper, navigator, historian, photographer, and more.
  4. Using the pack you received, the above team members will navigate from the first station to the last station. At each station, the historian will relay the story, the team leader will engage the team with the missions, and the detective will look for pictures. Each team member will play his/her role to complete the missions and to solve the mystery of the picture pack before moving on to the next station!
  5. Teams compete against each other to reach the final station in the best time and with the right answers!
  6. When all the teams have reached the final station, the game leader will sum up the experience and prizes will be awarded to winning teams.

How does an online ScaVenture (eg Israel Quarantine Quest) work?

  1. This is an online team challenge that can be played from home or anywhere in the world.
  2. You assemble your group (you can be physically together or separate), you divide your group into teams and each team competes against the other to complete missions within a set time. Missions are  completed in stages and as teams gather enough points in each stage the next stage is opened.
  3. Teams  work together to complete the missions and create videos or photos that prove that they have done that.
  4. There is a mix of mission types that include anything from researching a random topic, to putting together an online game to challenging someone to a lip sync competition.  All games have an element of “doing good” in the world as part of the game.
  5. The game is played on our platform and our staff run the game and give you any technical support that you need.
  6. Each team will need a computer and at least one phone per location of participant for taking pictures/filming clips.
