I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I signed up for the IZEA Hunt at IZEA Fest 2008. This was claimed to be the craziest scavenger hunt this side of the Mississippi.

The winning team wins $500 in Home Depot Gift cards. I guess you can use the cards to buy plywood to board up the house in case of a hurricane.

Our plan was to go after all the high point items first and then work our way down to the lower point stuff. Here’s a video of how we did. You can also check out photos of the IZEA Hunt at my photo gallery.
