A seasonal search activity, geared toward the holiday, involves participants following clues to locate designated items or reach specific locations. The clues often incorporate imagery or themes associated with the holiday, such as ghosts, pumpkins, or witches. For example, a clue might direct participants to “where spiders spin their webs,” leading them to a decorated area or prop.
This activity offers diverse advantages, fostering teamwork, problem-solving skills, and physical activity. It provides an engaging and memorable experience for participants of all ages. Historically, such organized searches, though not always holiday-specific, have been used as recreational activities to promote social interaction and exploration of surroundings.
