Facilitator Guide
Opening Script:
"Get ready for a fun Virtual Scavenger Hunt! When I call out an item, you'll have 30 seconds to find it in your home and show it on camera. First one back gets a point. Make sure you have space to move around safely. Ready? Let's go!"
Closing Script:
"That was amazing energy! Thanks for playing and sharing glimpses of your homes with us. It's fun to see everyone's personality through the items they chose!"
Why This Works
It gets people moving on a call, breaks the monotony, and adds quick laughs. The timer creates excitement, and the personal items naturally spark conversation.
Best For
- Virtual team meetings that need an energy boost
- Groups feeling 'Zoom fatigue'
- Teams that have worked together for a while
- Mid-meeting energizer (5-10 minute break)
Important Notes
- Ensure participants have safe space to move quickly
- Be mindful that not everyone may feel comfortable showing their home
- Keep items generic to avoid excluding people (not everyone has pets, books, etc.)
- Watch for competitive stress - keep the tone light and fun
