With the economy in a downward spiral, many people are searching for alternatives to expensive party ideas One alternative that is cost-effective, fun and can be easily adapted for people of all ages is the scavenger hunt. While some may consider scavenger hunts a thing of the past, adding a 21st-century twist to the clues and style can update the concept for a whole new generation.

Photos
- With the widespread popularity of digital cameras, taking photographs to solve clues rather than the traditional method of collecting items has been a popular modern twist to this classic game. The actual clue can be a photo on the list of items to collect, or the hunters must take a photo of a statue or monument.
Videos
- Another popular modern twist is the video clue. Like the photo clue, to satisfy the video clue hunters must take video footage of themselves at a certain location or performing a certain activity at that location rather than collecting an item.
Location
- While the classic scavenger hunt usually focuses around a yard or small neighborhood, changing the location of the clues adds a whole other dimension to the game.
