SCAVENGER HUNT!

So, I'm turning 25 this year. I know it probably isn't the biggest milestone birthday in the world, but nonetheless it is a nice round number and I really wanted to do something fun and unique. I've never really gone all out and celebrated my birthdays...no parties, no sweet 16, no bat mitzvah, nothing special for my 18th. I guess my only birthday "party" I've ever really had was on my 21st when I had all of my friends dress up in prom dresses and go to Hooters. Yes, that is my sense of humor. Get over it.

Anyway, I kinda really wanted to do something different and I've been tossing things around like having a tea party or something that involved getting really dressed up...but it just didn't seem good enough.

The other night I had THE BEST IDEA EVER. For my 25th birthday I'm going to do a hardcore scavenger hunt in NYC. Start at dinner, go over the hunt then split up for 3 or 4 hours and try and conquer the list then meet up at a bar. I'm so excited I've already started the list (my bday isn't until September!)...but I'm stuck at 35 items. I want to have 50 items on the list. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. I think that things that have to do with the number 25 would be really fun but I haven't thought of any clues that center around that number. I've got a lot of collection and photo clues. I would appreciate any input!

I totally want to plan scavenger hunts for every possible occassion now...maybe that can be my new hobby? ;)

    My cousin did the best scavenger hunt ever. The last item was to bring back a stranger in a shopping cart. Bonus points were awarded also for eating an entire durian (a spikey Asian fruit that they throw in DragonBallz and smells like cat shit)

    I like the stranger in the shopping cart! I had something along the same lines of pushing a teammate in a shopping cart for a certain amount of time. The durian would be great - I know what it is bc I watch Anthony Bourdain but I know that noone else would know so it would be HILARIOUS if I made them eat it. Where on earth would I find one in NYC? I'm so excited for this! Next time I'm in Seattle we will have to plan a massive scavenger hunt!
