The Global Scavenger Hunt asks the provocative question: When was the last time you did something for the first time? And the answer is: It has been too long!
This annual travel adventure adds a unique twist to the world of travel by taking thrill-seekers out of their comfort zones and taking them on “A Blind Date with the World” to ten mystery countries scattered around the globe over 23 days next Spring. Think about it: You know when you will be travelling around the world, but you won’t know where you will be traveling to!
The Global Scavenger Hunt takes and exclusive group of just 15’s philosophy is that anyone can get to a place — to be somewhere — but having travellers figure out thoughtfully crafted and curated scavenges once they get there — Wherever there is? — Is just part of this ultimate adventure. This is not your parents travel adventure!
“We maintain people don’t take adventures, that adventures should take people. And the best trips take people out of their comfort zones,” chuckles William D. Chalmers the Event Director. “Having visited 85 countries in 15 years, we are advocates of creative and experiential travel — always looking to bring back the magic of travel by letting our would-be adventurers be creative, resourceful and enjoy the serendipity of travel.” The Global Scavenger Hunt travel adventure is all about travellers using their Travel IQ to complete a series of authentic, challenging and highly-participatory site-doing scavenges (immersive micro-adventures) in a competition against other great travellers, all vying for The World’s Greatest Travellers trophy — and a FREE trip around the world.
