SCAVENGER HUNT
The last task we were asked to conduct was a scavenger hunt.
It was actually the easiest to do because we had already been thinking of what to do during and the past weeks of the third session, so even before the first meeting for the scavenger hunt we already knew the subject we were going to do it on and how we were going to organise it.
In fact, this is the activity that only took us two meetings. So we gathered together to discuss on how to organize the different stages of the scavenger hunt, how we were going to give out the points. Once the rules were settled we chose what questions we were going to ask to the teams and on what subject.
So the final decision was to start by a miming contest divided in three rounds, we had to brainstorm to try and find movies that had a specific point or caracter that could be acted out so that the team mates could easily find the movie we were looking for.
Then we started looking for the songs we were going to use to make them guess. The hard part was that we had to modify the rules applied to this part because we had to find a system so that everyone in the class would not go on and just scream out movie tittle.
The last part, meaning the actor to find was the hardest to organise because we were trying to find hints that could allow people to get closer and closer to the person we were looking for without letting them find it directly on the first hint.
Then some of the team members left and two of them kept working to finish the PowerPoint and print out the cards we were going to draw from the hat for the miming.
Our main fears for the presentation day concerned aspects of the treasure hunt we tried to evaluate (in duration) but that was completely out of our control, the rapidity of the teams to find the answers for the mimes and the music. Finally, it turned out to be the contrary of what we expected because the teams found the answers faster then we thought, so the time came out just fine.
