About scavenger hunt team names

A scavenger hunt team name has a short job to do. It goes on the sign-up sheet, gets read out when the scores are announced and, at a photo hunt, ends up in the caption of every picture. The best ones tell the other teams what kind of hunt this is: a list to finish, a map to follow, photos to take or a clock to beat.

The names here follow those four ideas and a few more. List names play on checklists and items, such as Checked It Twice, No Item Left Behind and Two Items Short. Map names cover directions and wrong turns: X Marks the Squad, Holding the Map Wrong, Three Rights Make a Left. Photo hunt names include Say Cheese and Run, Blurry Proof and Somebody Blinked, and seek-and-find puns run from Hide and Go Seekers to Seekers of the Lost Sock. Racing the Clock and Run, Find, Repeat suit a timed race.

The rest depend on who is playing. There are names for kids, camps and classrooms (Backyard Explorers, Pinecone Posse, Recess Rangers), for office team building (Accounts Retrievable, Per My Last Clue), for downtown hunts (Statue Spotters, Mural Chasers) and for teams that expect to finish last and enjoy it (Still Looking for Item One, Technically Not Lost).

How to choose scavenger hunt team names

  • Match the name to the format. A photo hunt suits Snap Decisions or Blurry Proof, a list hunt suits The Box Checkers, and a timed race suits Sprint to the Finish.
  • Say it out loud once. The organizer will read every team name when the scores are announced, so short names such as Map Happy and Go Fetch get the best reaction.
  • For kids' teams, let the children choose from a short list of three or four. Dragon Egg Finders or Sneaky Raccoons means more to a seven-year-old than a joke about office life.
  • At a company event, pick a joke the whole room will get. Accounts Retrievable, Human Resourceful and The Search Committee work because everyone knows the department.
  • If you plan to post the photos, try the name as a caption or hashtag first and see that it still reads well with the spaces taken out.

Frequently asked questions

What are good scavenger hunt team names?

Names that mention the hunt itself tend to land best: X Marks the Squad, Checked It Twice, Hide and Go Seekers, Finders Keepers and Leave No Stone Unturned. For a timed hunt, try Racing the Clock or First to Finish.

What are some funny scavenger hunt team names?

Names that admit defeat early get the biggest laugh when the scores are read: Still Looking for Item One, Holding the Map Wrong, Technically Not Lost, Lost but Making Good Time and What's the Prize Again. Puns such as List and Found and Sleuth Hounds work well too.

What are good team names for a kids' scavenger hunt?

Animal and explorer names are easy for children to remember and to draw on a team sign: Clever Foxes, Wise Owls, Backyard Explorers, Bug Finders, Rainbow Seekers and Treasure Troop. All 500 names on this page are clean, so a child can pick from the full list.

Do these names work for a photo scavenger hunt?

Yes. About one name in nine is written for photo hunts, including Say Cheese and Run, Selfie Seekers, Pics or It Didn't Happen, Shutter Bugs and Eyes Open This Time. They double as captions for the team's pictures.
