    Cool variation on a treasure hunt. Very energetic and fun and yes would take up Marks recommendation of having a spot for people to line up and wait their turn to you otherwise you will definitely be overwhelmed as participants try to get your attention.

    I use a “waiting room”, where people sit down and wait their turn and as the closest person comes along, the rest who are waiting shuffle along and wait their turn. Makes it infinitely easier to manage a very chaotic environment.
