Jerusalem Scavenger Hunts

Jerusalem scavenger hunts are an exciting, hands-on way to discover Jerusalem.

Israel ScaVentures is the brain child of experienced educator Tali Tarlow. The company's selection of adventures offers some of the best group activities in Jerusalem.

Each scavenger hunt sets you loose in a specific neighborhood, armed with instructions, a map, educational and detecting materials to help you discover the area in a fun-filled way.

Jerusalem scavenger hunt: looking at the Madaba Ma

Scavenger hunt participants study the Madaba Map for clues.

These hunts are an ideal activity for a wide variety of audiences and appeals to school-aged children, singles groups or adults in equal measure. Hunts can be organized for family groups, tourists, college students, seminaries, corporate field days, or school groups. If you're looking for activities for teens, it's the perfect thing to do.

Israel ScaVentures organizes several "open" hunts during peak seasons like the intervening days of Passover and Sukkot, and the summer holidays, when anyone who shows up may participate. This gives singles, couples and small families a chance to join in on the fun. (Be sure to check when the next Jerusalem Scavenger Hunts Open Events are scheduled - they fill up fast!) 

Otherwise, a minimum of four people is required to book a private hunt.

Jerusalem scavenger hunts take between two to three hours to complete – depending how quickly or leisurely you choose to go. Larger groups are broken up into teams, which lends a bit of competitive edge to the game as well – see who can finish first. Team members are assigned roles – team leader, photographer, detective and scribe among others. To keep things interesting, although the teams must find the same sites, they get different trails to follow.

The trails take you through unusual byways you wouldn't normally see, and you'll learn many of the personal stories – moving or quirky – that make a place come alive. You'll also be challenged to integrate these stories of Jerusalem with your own stories and points of view.

The programs are thoughtfully designed to encourage  "hunters" to really engage with their environment in a meaningful way. The goal is not only to see a site, but to examine what that locality or story means to you, what you find inspirational about it, what you can take home with you from the experience. This is not only a scavenger hunt through Jerusalem but one into your own heart as well.
