Home Scavenger Hunt by Jonathon McKee
Tired of being stuck at home watching Netflix? Tired of your lack of social connection with your friends? Try this…text a group of your friends and challenge their families to “Jonathan’s 15-minute home scavenger hunt.” It’s simple. Tell them at 7:00PM sharp they will all receive a list. At 7:00PM send them Jonathan’s list (which probably has way more items than any one family can get) and give them these instructions:
- In a group text, send ONE picture of as many of these items as you can by 7:15PM—gather all the items on the floor and take one clear picture where all items can be seen in one shot.
- For each item in the picture you will get 100 points.
- For each minute after 7:15 you get minus 100 points.
- No pictures will be accepted at all after 7:20.
- Family with the most points wins!
We hope you will enjoy this with your family! You can find this Home Scavenger Hunt on Jonathon’s website at https://jonathanmckeewrites.com/.
