Video Camera Scavenger Hunt
The video camera scavenger hunt is a RIOT!! Getting your friends to perform these hilarious antics in front of the camera is one of the funnest ways to have a scavenger hunt.

The first video camera scavenger hunt party I hosted, or even
attended for that matter, was also a Halloween Party.
So the tasks we had to perform were that much funnier in costume. I can still see in my mind's eye my husband, dressed in a hospital gown, asking a complete stranger to do his best Elvis Presley impression for the camera! This game is not for the shy and reserved!
The footage is then brought back to home base and watched by everyone. You could use the participants as the judges and vote for the best of each clip. Or you could have a predetermined panel of judges make the final analysis. Team who has the greatest amount of "best"clips wins.
Another way of playing this game is to give the list to the various teams a couple weeks ahead of time. They can get together at their leisure to film. Then the night of the party can be used strictly for the watching of the video clips. Used in this fashion, there will be more time to film most of the clips from the list instead of having a time limit and choosing only the ones the team feels they could get done. The scoring would also be different. You would need to assign a point value for each task. The team who comes to the party with the highest point value of footage, wins!
If you only have a couple hours to show the footage and you have several teams, you might want to consider a time limit on each segment and/or the whole production.
I have taken my original video camera scavenger hunt list from 1996 and improved it to present here.
