Thrift Store Scavenger Hunt

INDOOR / OUTDOOR · COST: $$$ · FOOD: NO · DRINKS: NO

As a kid, I absolutely loved scavenger hunts. They were always such a good time to collect the pieces and solve the puzzle--or whatever accomplishment--at the end. And just because we're all grown up now doesn't mean we wouldn't still enjoy one of these. So, grab your google and find the nearest Thrift Shop, make a note of your items to find, and find a fun friend to go with you.

The Overview

WHAT You Need
"I'm pretty much an Indian Guide.. ok, what are we looking for again?"

Find a decent thrift store, a good day to go, and someone to join the journey.
You can create your own list of things to find, or you can use some of the items in here.

Here are some things to find:

  • The fanciest item
  • The best Summer outfit
  • The most elaborate secret disguise
  • The worst shirt/top
  • A uniform of some type
  • A green sweater (the more ugly, the better)
  • The worst picture frame for a sexy photo
  • An outdated kitchen gadget
  • A non-politically-correct board game or racy puzzle

WHEN to do it
Basically during store-hours... unless you're good at picking locks.

If so, you can pretty much go whenever you want then.
(best to have a decent escape plan or a getaway ride waiting if you are choosing to B&E)

WHERE to go
Thriftstores and Second Hand shops

Goodwill, Salvation Army, or any other Thrift Store you can find around your area.
