The rules prohibit the purchase of goods or people from their homes and centers for the collection points. There are several points to objects on the basis of difficulties need to receive them. News items can be fun and add to the hunt. For example, a superhero Scavenger Hunt can ask them to open the costumes, comic book collectors and others in connection with certain superheroes.Destination Unknown   This Scavenger Hunt instructions lead participants to a specific destination, where they have a reference to the next position. Subsequent references eventually lead to a certain place in which it participates. Legends will be in the form of riddles or instructions to follow and serve the participants in the famous tourist attractions and other places.
