Step 1: Charge up phones
All hunt participants must have a charged cell phone, so alert everyone involved ahead of time, and then charge your own.

Step 2: Text some directions
Start by texting the participants a location and time. When they text you back to say they’re there, let them know the hunt has begun!

Step 3: Issue a picture challenge
Issue a picture challenge. Make the hunters take a series of pictures and send them back to you within a time limit. Then give out the next clue.

Step 4: Create math problems
Create a math problem for them to solve. Make the solution the next number they have to call.

Step 5: Use riddles
Use riddles to spur them on to their next stop.

Step 6: Have them complete activities
Have the hunters jump through a series of creative hoops. Of course you'll need proof, so make them send you video of themselves doing the deed.

Step 7: Composite your final clue
Make your final clue a combination of the other clues, like a pictogram or another puzzle. When they connect all the dots, the wild goose chase is over--reward them!
