1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.
Question | Answer |
| 1. You drive to one of the city's fanciest addresses in response to a phone call about a kidnapping. You ring and the door is opened by a distraught-looking housemaid. "Thank goodness, you're here!" she cries. | answer | 2. The maid continues,"Mr. and Mrs. Harding are away for the weekend," she goes on. "I was left in charge of Jerry. He's two years old. I left him playing in his room with all his tory, and went downstairs to the kitchen. then i thought I heard some footsteps upstairs, so I rushed up to the baby's room- and there a man was climbing out the window with Jerry in his arms! I just stood there in a state of shock. Then I screamed and ran to the window. | next | 3. "I saw the man jump off the ladder when he was 10 feet from the ground- with the baby! He almost dropped Jerry when he landed! Then he ran to a black car, tossed the baby in, and raced away." She burst into sobs. | next | 4. You look at the crumpled blankets on the baby's bed, and the spilled baby powder all over the floor. A set of large man's footprints in the powder lead from the bed to the open window. Everything else in the room is neat and orderly. | next | 5. You go outside the house and around to where the ladder leans against the house, under the baby's window. There are a few faint footprints in the soft dirt around the foot of the ladder, but nothing else of any interest, on the ground or on the ladder. | next | 6. The maid joins you and shows you a piece of paper she says was in the mailbox. You read:"Your baby will come back alive for $50, 000. You'll hear from us soon."
