2023 Event Fact Sheet:
What: The 2023 edition of The Global Scavenger Hunt™ is the 16th annual “world travel championship”—an around-the-world travel adventure competition that takes Teams of two on A Blind Date with The World™ that eventually crowns The World’s Greatest Travelers™.
When: Held every spring, with our 2022 event to take place over three-weeks starting on April 14 through May 6, 2023. Fifteen international Teams will travel from Vancouver, Canada to New York City—the long way around!
Who: Event participation is open but limited to 12 teams of two from around the world who will participate with previous events having drawn savvy globe tottering travelers from: USA, Canada, China, Belgium, New Zealand, Australia, England, Poland, Germany, Dubai & Barbados. With travelers having previously applied from over 60 nations.
Prizes: The World’s Greatest Travelers™ trophy, along with an accompanying free trip around the world to defend their titles in the next event are at stake in this winner-take-all event.
Where: The whole world is our game board. It’s a circumnavigation of the globe touching down in at least 10 countries, that may include in 2023: Peru, Colombia, Indonesia, Laos, Oman, Tanzania, Russia, Morocco and Italy. (Note: These are only potential countries as The Global Scavenger Hunt™ is indeed A Blind Date with The World™ for all its participants—they do not know which country they will be visiting next until they are given a 4-hour notice. So far, the event has visited 85 countries.
Why: Teams participate for glory and bragging rights as well as helping to raise funds for ongoing humanitarian causes. Past events have helped fund thirteen co-ed elementary schools in Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, Kenya, India, Niger, Haiti, Ethiopia and Ecuador; as well as helped over 3,600 households with interest free micro loans. Organizations supported by the annual event include, among others: Doctors without Borders, Partners in Health, Free the Children and KIVA.
