Games are a common tool in the economics classroom. This paper describes several economics themed scavenger hunts outside of the classroom which both teach concepts and build student comradery. After a description of how scavenger hunts are currently used in the educational setting, there is a presentation of a tested economics themed hunt executed in Washington, D.C. with a summary of feedback about the experience and an annotated list of alternative scavenger hunts, which are practical for most campuses.
