Day 230: Spooky scavenging

It’s Games and Puzzles Day!

Today’s Activity: Plan a group text Halloween scavenger hunt.

Play Party Plan has a fun, easy-to-organize way to explore your neighborhood(s) with friends or family of all ages: a group text scavenger hunt for Halloween decorations. Even if you’re far apart, decorations tend to be fairly consistent, which gives everyone a shot at being the first to text back a photo of the requested item. There’s a good list of potential things to find at the site, or you can invent your own.

Maybe you’ll even find someone who managed to snag one of the 12-foot-tall skeletons the internet is obsessed with.
