Today, we’ll be introducing you to a game that combines the thrill of scavenger hunting with the mental stimulation of wordplay – Scrabble Hunt! By playing Scrabble Hunt, your team will learn how to communicate effectively and strategize as a group.
So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn the rules of Scrabble Hunt, the ultimate team-building game!
How to Play
Alright teams, let’s get started with Scrabble Hunt! Before we begin, please meet your Team Leaders, who will be responsible for reporting your team’s scores to the Resort Officiant.
Get ready to use your word skills and work together as a team to come out on top! In this game, you’ll need to search for alphabet letters that are painted on river rocks, which are hidden in the grass (if you find rocks buried in the dirt, they are NOT part of the game). These letters will help you form words to earn points.
Flags are your headquarters. You’ll need to bring your river rocks back to your team’s headquarters to earn points. The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins!
So, are you ready to put your word skills to the test and work together to become the Scrabble Hunt champions? Let’s go!
