Ready to host a bachelorette party scavenger hunt and need some fun ideas?
Find one item that’s blue. One item that’s soft. One thing that starts with the letter “t.”
These are items that are found on a typical scavenger hunt list.
Bachelorette scavenger hunts, on the other hand, are much crazier – and much more fun.
These types of scavenger hunts take a bachelorette party to a whole new level.
Looking like something out of a game of truth or dare, many of the items on a typical bachelorette scavenger party list are so wildly out there that you can’t help but have fun.
They may ask you to do more than find something, too: these scavenger hunts may require you to speak to strangers, do crazy things, or take ludicrous pictures.
Read on to discover some of the best bachelorette party scavenger hunt ideas that we’ve compiled from a variety of sources.
How to Set Up a Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt
Setting up a bachelorette scavenger hunt is so simple. First, you’ll need a location. Think hotel, restaurant, bar, or even your neighborhood or city.
You can brainstorm a list of scavenger hunt ideas surrounding the location you choose, or you can choose a location based on a pre-set checklist that you like.
Either way, plan the event at this location (or at least plan to spend part of your time here).
Next, you’ll want to come up with a list of either items the guests will need to collect, or things they will have to do (and obtain proof that they’ve done so, such as by taking a picture).
Finally, you’ll want to come up with some sort of prize for being the first guest to complete everything on the list and return to a set location.
You can be as chill or as crazy as you want with your lists; I heard of one friend’s bachelorette party scavenger hunt where they had the guests go get a tattoo of their choice in order to complete their list.
You don’t have to go this far, however – you know your friends better than anyone else.
