Hire outdoor scavenger hunts
in Evanston.
Custom-themed outdoor hunts at iconic venues across all 11 metros — Venice Beach, Central Park, Millennium Park, Discovery Green, Wynwood, the Embarcadero, and more. Custom challenges, custom scoring, and a host who keeps the energy.
Chicago team building serves three audiences — Loop and West Loop / Fulton Market corporate HQs (law, finance, agency, tech) that want polished indoor formats, North Shore corporates and university-affiliated teams (Northwestern in Evanston, north-suburban HQs) that want gala-adjacent experiences, and convention-week internal teams in town for McCormick shows. We host outdoor scavenger hunts through Millennium Park and the Riverwalk in shoulder seasons, custom murder mysteries at private Fulton Market and River North venues, and game shows for all-hands at the Chicago Athletic Association and the Aon Grand Ballroom. Working improv performers as hosts, cold-weather uniform protocol when the call requires it. All staff are 100% W-2.
Common routes: Millennium Park + the Riverwalk + the Bean, Magnificent Mile + Navy Pier, Wicker Park + the 606, and Fulton Market + the West Loop.
Showcraft serves Evanston and the surrounding IL area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Evanston is the North Shore's university-and-corporate anchor — Northwestern University drives a year-round calendar of fundraising galas, partnership events, and Welsh-Ryan Arena / Ryan Field game-day brand work, plus the downtown Evanston / Sherman Avenue corridor hosts a real retail and dining event run. We staff registration and check-in for Northwestern alumni and fundraising events, sponsor-zone activations at Welsh-Ryan Arena and Ryan Field, brand ambassadors for downtown Evanston retail launches, and hospitality crews for Hilton Orrington and Hyatt Place offsites. Roster is bilingual EN/ES with strong polish — comfortable with university-affiliated and gala clientele. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Evanston buyers ask about outdoor scavenger hunts.
Can Evanston groups do a scavenger hunt indoors or outdoors?+
Both. Outdoor hunts run in Evanston's walkable neighborhoods and parks across Chicago; indoor and venue-based hunts work for offsites, conferences, and weather-sensitive bookings. We custom-build the route and challenges around your venue and your team's mobility needs.
What's the right team size for a Evanston scavenger hunt?+
We run hunts from 20-250 participants in Evanston, split into competing teams of 4-8. Below 20 the format gets thin; above 250 we add additional hosts and recommend a parallel format. We'll right-size hosts and challenge density once we know your group size and time window.
Do you handle the logistics — app, props, hosts, scoring — for Evanston hunts?+
Yes — end-to-end. App-based challenges (we build them custom), props delivered to your venue or kickoff point in Evanston, professional host(s) running the show, live scoring, and a closing ceremony with prizes. You show up with your team; we handle everything else.
How customized is a Showcraft scavenger hunt for a Evanston group?+
Fully. Challenges are themed to your company, inside jokes, values, or industry. Routes are mapped to your venue in Evanston and your team's preferred neighborhoods in Chicago. Hosts are briefed on your team's names and personalities before kickoff. Send a brief 2-3 weeks out for the cleanest custom build.
