As a bonus for the hunt kids had to earn extra gold leaves (which are featured in the first post about the scavenger hunt). They completed different tasks such as avoiding having tea with Grandma by reading her a picture book and making her fall asleep. Another challenge was dueling with a delusional knight( we used pool noodles as the swords). I'm sure their favorite stop was at the Candy Cafe where the evil witch had a candy bar and juice. The teens had to be careful not to eat too much candy or the witch would gobble them up like she wanted to with Hansel and Gretel.
Another way to earn gold leaves was a short Grimm Quiz. This was a multiple choice quiz about the original Grimm Tales. For each correct answer the teams were given half a point (gold leaf). It took me awhile to find some Grimm trivia online. Here is what I compiled for the quiz:
