Charity Shopping Spree


A team building activity that will have your group shop ‘til you drop, Charity Shopping Spree delivers a gratifying experience filled with excitement – even for those participants not regularly inclined to retail therapy.

The object of this SmartHunt is for teams to snag as many items as they can from a charity’s wish list.  While the hunt’s scoring system will bring out competitive streaks, the ultimate endgame is a healthy donation of those items to your company’s chosen charity, making everyone a winner at the end of the day.

After a lively initial “meet and greet,” iPads are distributed to each team with instructions on answering text questions, taking photos and shooting video. Armed with the SmartHunts propriety app that features a two-way messaging system, each team’s iPad is tracked by the hunt coordinator via GPS, with photos, videos and scores being downloaded throughout the event via Wi-Fi, 3G-4G and LTE.

Equipped with cash and clues, teams commence the fun – going on crazy scavenger hunts, carrying out photo and video missions, planning their shopping strategy and taking part in iPad activities such as Wordles, Puzzles, Name that Tune, Name that Movie Clip, Touring Points of Interest, “Before Technology” Quizzes and Multi-Media Trivia.

At the end of the Spree, participants will enjoy a slideshow of the event while team points are tallied, donation items are counted and the victorious team is declared. In some cases, a charity representative will arrive to accept the donation and give a personal thanks to all participants.

Charity Shopping Spree solidifies teams with a fulfilling adventure and memories that are sure to remain in the hearts and minds of all!
