Scavenger Hunts: What to Look For

A scavenger hunt turns a group outing into a game, with teams chasing clues and challenges against the clock. On the Sunshine Coast, the hunts set up for groups run inside a large wildlife park at Beerwah in the hinterland, so the animals are part of the course.

Hunt packages start from about $59 per person, and larger corporate days add meals and function space.

When planning a hunt for your group, cover off:

  • Group size and how many teams you'll need, so every team stays small enough for everyone to take part.
  • Whether the hunt is hosted, with a facilitator running the clues and scoring.
  • Timing in the day: an early start beats the summer heat and leaves time for lunch afterwards.
  • Meals: breakfasts, BBQs and Christmas functions can be booked around the hunt.
  • Transport to the hinterland for a large team, so everyone arrives together.

Hunts like this suit team-building and corporate events, and the same park hosts children's parties. For more animal-focused outings, see wildlife experiences.

Designing a good hunt

  • Mix teams across departments or friendship groups so people meet someone new.
  • Ask whether the challenges can reflect your company or celebration, such as a theme or inside jokes.
  • Decide on prizes before the day, as a small reward keeps teams moving.
  • Leave time at the end to announce winners over a meal.

Weather and comfort

  • Most of a wildlife park hunt is outdoors, so hats, sunscreen and water matter in summer.
  • Winter is mild and dry, which makes it a comfortable season for a long day on foot.
  • Ask about covered areas and the plan if a summer storm arrives mid-hunt.
  • Comfortable walking shoes are a must for everyone in the group.
