Car Wash
Before the scavenger hunt begins, throw flour onto every car, which would be a way to track who has or has not completed an item on the list like “get a car wash.” Extra points go to participants who actually wash their own cars and prove it with photos.
Billboards
Make a specific billboard an item on the hunt. Billboards could be part of other clues to tell participants where to go. For example, a clue could be “Go to the place featured on the billboard at the corner of Main and Sunset.”
Alphabet
One clue, which could offer anywhere between 1 and 26 points, could be “take a photo of items in the city that start with every letter of the alphabet.” For example, the Macy’s building in New York City could be for the letter “m.”
Vehicles
Police cars, ambulances, fire engines and vintage cars are just some vehicles on a car treasure hunt list. If these items are spotted, participants will quickly snap a photo to cross it off the list. Give extra points for planes and boats, if participants have access to an airport or marina.
Dogs
List “a dog driving next to you.” Participants would have to get lucky spotting someone driving with their dog in the passenger seat or in the back of a truck.
License Plates
Put personalized license plates or license plates from different states on the list. Give higher points for the state plates farthest away.
Rare Colors
Select colors of cars that we rarely see on the road, such as pink, purple or gold cars, which you can allot 25 points each. Use holiday colors, such as red and green for Christmas or red and white for St. Valentine's Day, if the hunt is associated with a holiday party or trip.
Bridge
Include a bridge and give multiple points to participants who take a photo while they're actually crossing the bridge or for finding multiple bridges.
