Here at TextClues<\/a> you can easily create a text message scavenger hunt. Our system automatically sends and responds to text messages to your loved one’s cell phone, so you can actually watch and guide them through the hunt or sit back and just watch the fun. You can schedule the scavenger hunt to start at any time you like, or you could set up a few surprise texts throughout the day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not difficult to set up your own special scavenger hunt, here are some ideas below to start you off.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

First<\/strong><\/em>, decide on your gifts for the hunt, you could buy a bunch of little gifts for her or him such as chocolates, movie tickets, candles, perfume, lip balm, nail polish, bubble bath, massage oil, gift certificate, etc.\u00a0 You can individually wrap each gift in a box if you’re going to have lots of little gifts or just have lots of clues leading to one special gift or surprise at the end of the hunt.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Next<\/strong><\/em>, decide where you want to start and end the scavenger hunt, you can plan one for around your home or use the clues to lead your loved one somewhere for a special date or a special restaurant that you\u2019ve booked. One thing you’ll want to do is make sure you can set everything up before your hunt starts.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Finally<\/strong><\/em>, create your text clues, get a pen and jot down some ideas and try to make them personal and your loved one will know you think they are very special to you.\u00a0 You can use clues incorporating any hobbies they might have, special places you have visited together, it can be as complicated or as simple as you choose.<\/p>\n
