A scavenger hunt is a game in which individuals or teams seek to gather a number of specific items — usually without purchasing them — or perform tasks or take photographs as specified by a list. The goal is usually to be the first to complete the list, although players can also be challenged to complete the tasks on the list in the most creative manner.

Notable scavenger hunts include the University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt, and the annual Tricadecathlonomania, a 24-hour worldwide event that began in Northfield, MN. Some scavenger hunts are held online, where players have to find particular information on the web.
