The Hunt
“The Hunt” is a reference to the game scavenger hunt. It is a reality television show about teamwork. The participants are put into two teams that compete against each other to find a hidden object. The teams first receive instructions on how to get to clues, which guide them towards the hidden object. At the end of the season, the team with the most points wins a 2-week vacation for 3 to a country of their choice and extra money to spend on their trip.
One of the goals of the show is to get people from different social groups to learn to work together as a team. There will be five people per team. One team will be made up of fashion designers and fine artists. The other team will be made up of CEO’s and high school teachers. Though the people in one team have a common ground they can all relate to—designers and fine artists, CEO’s and teachers—they each have very different sets of values, priorities, and thinking processes. By forcing them into situations in which they will have to rely on each other, they will learn to interact with each other, recognize a new set of social cues, and play different roles in their respective groups.
The other goal of the show is to also work with human-to-human interaction in a broader scope by introducing them to various places and the people that live there. Each episode of “The Hunt” takes the teams to new settings such as the farm, the beach, and even overseas. The show also promotes a more active interaction with people by having the participants complete tasks that require them to either help, or get help from the people in each setting.
Rules of The Hunt
One person from each team is given a set of instructions that only he or she is allowed to listen to. He or she then relays these instructions to the rest of the team members. The instructions lead the teams to the clues.
The clues, in turn, guide the participants to the location of the hidden object, which is changed from episode to episode. Once a team reaches the location of a clue, they will be required to complete a task in order to receive the clue. These tasks are made to get the teams to work not only within the group, but also outside of the group. They can range from getting a child to do a favor for them to helping a farmer clean up a chicken coop. Each task awards the team 5 points upon completion.
Once a team finds the hidden object, the hunt comes to an end, and the winning team receives 50 additional points.
Another way to end the hunt is to accumulate 30 points before the other team by looking for clues and completing enough tasks. Even if the hidden object has not been found, the hunt still comes to an end, and the teams keep the points they have accumulated up until the end.
Structure
The show is comprised of 15 episodes. The hunts are played every other day for a month. As the players progress, the scavenger hunts become gradually more difficult by taking them to places outside of their comfort zones until they’re forced to even deal with a foreign country, a new language, and an unfamiliar set of social norms.
