We run a scavenger hunt that requires the players to use their cunning wit and problem solving skills to decipher clues that lead them to various locations throughout the county of origin and eventually to the finish line to determine the winners and to doll out first, second and in certain cases third place prizes.
What originally began as a refreshing change from the standard couples dinner weekend outing amongst friends has blossomed into a thriving business where the Harrisons and Gourvitzes provide their clients with a thrilling break from their standard Saturday evening out.
​
Players are broken into teams and assigned designated colors which they must wear, at the very least, a shirt in that color but many have gotten creative and designed team costumes with customized tees, capes, hats and various other accessories to increase the team spirit. They arrive at the starting line adorned in their respective team colors, are given the basic ground rules and provided an envelope with the initial clues.
Once they solve the first set of clues which takes them to a specific location,
they then call into their "game masters" and are provided additional clues that send them to further locations.
Once all clues have been solved and everyone has raced (carefully and observing all traffic laws of course :) throughout the designated route, they then need to solve one final clue that leads them to the finish line. This is generally a restaurant/bar where all the teams eventually rendezvous at collectively to eat, drink, socialize and watch the winners gloat and losers commiserate over a cocktail or two while they share stories of the fun night out they all just had.
Leigh and Jason Gourvitz of Livingston were looking for something fun to do other than another “standard couples dinner weekend outing amongst friends,” when they came up with an idea to plan an evening scavenger hunt.
They immediately contacted their friends, Ilisa and Kevin Harrison, and brought them in to run the game and create the clues. Both couples were fans of the 80's cult hit film, “Midnight Madness,” and thought this might be a fun activity to plan for a bunch of friends.
They were right—and now, seven years later, they are still planning Midnight Madness Events for groups, corporate events, and birthday parties.
