What To Expect

You’ve heard so much about ScaVentures and it’s time for you to do your own ScaVenture – but how do they actually work??? We’ll tell in you in 5 easy steps! If you have 9 or more participants, your group will divide into teams (ideally 5-8 participants per team). • Each team will receive a pack that includes maps, stickers, information sheets, notepads, pencils, picture packs and more. • Each person on the team has a role. There is a leader, detective, note keeper, navigator, historian, photographer, and more. • Using the pack you received, the above team members will navigate from the first station to the last station. At each station, the historian will relay the story, the team leader will engage the team with the missions, and the detective will look for pictures. Each team member will play his/her role to complete the missions and to solve the mystery of the picture pack before moving on to the next station! • Teams compete against each other to reach the final station in the best time and with the right answers! • When all the teams have reached the final station, the game leader will sum up the experience and prizes will be awarded to winning teams. If you are a smaller group, then your team will not split up– you will be on your own team challenge. • Can your team navigate from starting point to ending point within the given time? • Will your team fulfill all the missions on the way? • Will your team solve the mystery of the Picture Pack? • Each participant must play his/her part to make it happen, so that you can receive your prize! The ScaVentures Game Leader is our staff member– aka the Game Master! The magic of the game is in your navigation and the discovery of the secrets of the sites. The game leader visits the teams at certain stations, will add information when appropriate, mark team progress and make sure the game is running smoothly. The game is two hours of FUN and INSPIRATION from beginning to end!

We did the Scaventure with our 5 teenage kids and they broke us into groups of 3 and 4 which worked out perfectly. Everyone had their turn to shine. We started off competitively but slowed down when we realized the interesting facts we were learning. We all really enjoyed despite the rain and hailstorm that happened in the middle of our game!

We had a fantastic time doing the shuk scavenger hunt. It was great working with tali to plan everything. That night yomtov was our guide and he was amazing. We were a group from 60 yrs old to 3 yrs old. Every single one of us had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this activity!

Our whole family really enjoyed the Scavenger hunt we did over Chanukah in Machne Yehudah Shuk. We were 15 people and split into three teams. Our guide Daniel set us off and kept track of all our answers as we posted them on our iPads. There were a variety of questions to be answered in any order and photos to take as evidence we had completed a particular task e.g holding a fish. At the end of the game there was a small prize for the winning team and we received some of the pictures we took during the scavenger later in the day by email. The activity was easy to book on line and clear directions sent to the meeting point just outside the Shuk. All in all a very well thought through fun experience.
super interesting

We had a fantastic time— there were 12 of us ages from 47 to 7 . We split into 3 teams and did a special non-muktzeh scavenger hunt on the “second” yom-tov day of sukkot. It kept the kids engaged and entertained while also teaching them about Jerusalem history. A really fun family outing! (No pics because of yomtov)
Do it! We had loads of fun

We did the Old City hunt over Sukkot after my son's barmitzvah in Jerusalem and had a wonderful time. It was really well organised and we had so much fun. We were a group of 28 aged were 7 to 75 and a mix of Israelis and tourists and every single one of us had a blast. The group leaders were knowledgeable and the hunt kit was excellent with maps, clues and a guide booklet. Tali was efficient with the organising and very friendly, and we loved seeing the Jewish Quarter in so much depth. We've done scavenger hunts in Venice and Paris as well but our Jerusalem hunt was outstanding. Highly recommend.
Engaging and Fun for Families!

Our Scaventure hunt around Jaffa was a real highlight of our family's trip to Israel. We were a group of 11 teenagers, a few parents, and one fabulous Grandma - and our intrepid Scaventure guide was able to meet the noise and chatter of our teens with great energy and enthusiasm. The Scaventure hunt itself was brilliantly designed, impossible to fail, and totally fun, while we discovered new things about an old city and walked through some of the most beautiful places we've ever seen. Our group was made up of Israeli family and tourist cousins from around the world, and it was equally enjoyed by all. Highly recommended!!
