Scavenger Hunt Riddles and Clues for Adults
Clues are a crucial part of a scavenger hunt because they help lead someone from one step to another. Sometimes you'll want to spice things up more than a simple "go here" or "go there" with clues that require a little more thinking and problem solving. But it can be difficult to think of a clever riddle or way to describe where you want them to go to find their next clue. If you're having any trouble coming up with clues, here are some examples ones you can use for inspiration.
