Guinness World Record

Securing preeminent pop culture accolades, Scav held Guinness’ record for world’s largest scavenger hunt between 2011–2014. Scav earned the title by shattering Guinness’ official record, then held by 212 school children from St. Anthony’s Catholic School in Ontario, Canada. Needing to follow the format set by the category’s inaugural champs and register more participants, Scav judges set up a special hour-long sub-event on Friday, May 6, 2011 with a 23-item list that 924 participants completed within the boundaries of the quads while also earning points for their “real” Scav tallies.
