Wedding Scavenger Hunt Ideas

Watch Your Wedding Guests Go Wild in the Most Hilarious Game of the Night

What is the Wedding Scavenger Hunt?

Imagine a mashup between musical chairs, a comedy sketch, and a dash of wedding chaos. The DJ Wedding Scavenger Hunt is a game where the DJ calls out random, often hilarious items or actions for guests to find or perform — and the last person (or people) to fulfill the challenge is eliminated or simply gets a hearty round of good-natured booing. Think of it as adult recess with better outfits..

How to Play the Game?

Step 1: Gather Participants

We usually kick off this game right after dinner by asking the audience to identify one person at each table who’s been running the conversation—our fearless, fun-loving Type A. We then we ask those extroverts to stand up, because they’re the ones who bring the energy we need to make the game a hit.

Step 2: Explain the Rules

We then invite our participants—chairs and all—to head to the dance floor. At this point, they’re probably expecting a classic game of musical chairs. But plot twist! Once they’re seated, we reveal the real deal: they’re not just players—they’re the runners, competing on behalf of their entire table.

Step 3: Call out the items

We then call out random items for players to race off and fetch from around the room—first one back to a chair on the dance floor stays in the game. Just like musical chairs, we pull a seat each round until there’s one fast, clever champion left standing (well, sitting).
