The Ultimate 90s-Themed Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt
Nothing brings a group together like a scavenger hunt, and when you throw in a 90s theme, it’s pure nostalgia-fueled fun. That’s exactly what Next Clue created for a fun 90’s bachelorette party — an interactive, high-energy experience packed with throwback challenges, inside jokes, and a little friendly competition. Here’s how it all came together.
Step 1: Mapping Out the Hunt
With some Airrbnb, pictures in hand and the clue locations in mind, it was time to start planning out the hunt. This gave me a strong starting point to design an immersive scavenger hunt that blended indoor and outdoor challenges, using every part of their space for the adventure.
Step 2: Crafting the Ultimate 90s Vibe
The theme had to feel authentically 90s, so I pulled inspiration from everything we loved back then—bold neon graphics, mixtape aesthetics, and nods to iconic pop culture moments. Think Lisa Frank colors, Blockbuster-inspired clue cards, and tasks involving slap bracelets and Tamagotchis.
Step 3: Team Pairing
To encourage bonding, we mixed up the teams so that guests who didn’t know each other well were grouped together. This turned out to be a game-changer—by the end of the hunt, everyone was laughing, strategizing, and fully engaged.
Step 4: Designing the Clues and Challenges
Every scavenger hunt I create is completely custom, and this one was packed with a variety of challenges to keep everyone involved.
