What is Family Scavenger Hunt?
This hunt is about you: find something that belongs to the youngest player, something from a family holiday, something with a family member's handwriting. It sparks stories as much as running around, which makes it perfect for reunions, holidays and mixed-age gatherings.
Grandparents can play from the sofa as the judges. Choose Home or Outdoor and any theme.
