Game Instructions

  1. Decide if you’re going to play as individuals or teams. (It’s really fun to play as teams if you have enough people.)
  2. Head out to a local hot spot for Valentine’s Day. (GAME TIP: A main street with lots of bars and restaurants works really well for this.)
  3. Once everyone has arrived, text the Valentine’s Treasure Hunt List to each person (even if you’re doing teams. It’s easier if everyone has the list.)
  4. On Go! each person or team has to complete the scavenger hunt photographs list within one hour and then meet back at the meeting spot. (Everyone must meet back at the meeting spot at the designated time no matter if they finished the list or not.)
  5. Person or team who finishes list first — with valid photos — wins a fun trophy or prize and bragging rights until next year. (You can also play where everyone votes on each list photo and most votes overall wins.)
  6. Enjoy the rest of the time together as friends for Valentine’s Day!
