Midnight Scavenger Hunt
Friday, March 16th / 9 pm / Austin, TX
Hosted by Andrew WK
All ages event open to the public. It’s pretty freaking crazy if you ask me. The grand prize is $1,000 cash and a 20 minute slot before the Walkmen, at the Mess with Texas party at Red Seven. You get to share the stage with The Walkmen, David freaking Cross, the Black Lips, The Apples in Stereo, Patton Oswalt, & more.
Here are some things we recommend you bring to the hunt:
-a backpack or hand bag to carry the items
-a camera.
Some of the items involve taking photographs. You can use a digital camera but you will receive 15 extra points if you use Polaroid film.
The concept for the scavenger hunt is simple…
Teams are made up of 1 to 5 people.
Each team is given the same list of fifty items.
Each item is worth a certain amount of points.
The team at the end with the most points wins the grand prize.
The Sign Up for the “Midnight Scavenger Hunt” will take place at the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge from 8:00pm to 9:00pm. The Lamar Pedestrian Bridge is located between Cesar Chavez St and Riverside Drive on Lamar Blvd in downtown
At 9:00pm sharp the list for the scavenger hunt will be passed out.
The teams will have till 11:00pm to get as many of the items on the list as they can.
Here are some examples of the things that were on the list for the LA Scavenger Hunt:
-Kiss a senior citizen and get polaroid evidence of it. +75 points
-A Tooth +15 points
-One team member getting a flat top with their name shaved into the back of their head +55 Points
-A Brazilian Flag +10 points
-Each team member getting cornrows and extended finger nails. +100 points
-An empty bottle of Absinthe +25 points
-A pair of roller skates. +10 points
You get the idea.
