We just put one together for our museum. Time will tell how it will work -
we offer a drawing once a month for a prize for whoever gets the most
questions right. I don't get to give tours, and I don't think anyone's tried
it yet.

Hello.
We here at the Monroe County Local History Room & Museum have been giving
out clipboards with scavenger hunt pages for a couple of years now and they
have proven very successful with our visitors. We created the scavenger
hunt pages to appeal to 5-15 year olds. Families work on them together.
Kids get interested in history. On each page there is a close up picture of
an artifact on display and a short rhyme about what it might be. The
challenge for the kids is to locate and identify what the actual artifact
is. The scavenger hunt page idea is a simple yet effective way to engage
our audience.

I live just across from the McFarland (Dane Co.) Historical Museum and
am a board member. I will be having a family gathering the 22nd of
August and as part of the activities I have the idea to have a treasure
hunt at the museum, looking for items which my family has donated to
the collection. Aside from listing the items, what other kind of
information or hints should I include? If you have done this kind of
activity before at your museum, I'd appreciate any suggestions you
might have for a successful 'hunt'!
