Like I said... I need your help
I’m creating a scavenger hunt across Europe for my friends to partake in during the summer after this one. And I’m offering $500 for the first person (or team) that finishes… I know $500 doesn’t cover the trip…but it’s not about the money, right?
Well, I need your help to think up tasks for them to do and document, by taking pictures/film of them doing it.
Cannot think of a name

Uh...Eurotrip!
Have them go to parts of Europe w/out the Euro. The exchange rate is bad for dollar to Euro. Or Russia...Russia would be a good place to have a scavenger hunt. No one speaking English, or so it is rumored here in Finland...Communist conspiracies to uncover.
I tried.
Have them buy a piece of glassware from a market in Venice.
You could also force them to collect a wrapper from a McDonalds in each city they go to that has one...as a...er...example...of the rampantly greedy consumerism of American corporations. :p

Or beer cups! They sell beer in McDonalds in Europe, well, at least in one, in Spain.
Funny how most responders are from USA so far. :D

I think we need a little more than just "I am sending", which countries do you intend to use?
There is a vast amount of history in the UK and well known landmarks, both easily accessed and hard to find.
If you gave us a brief outline of what you are doing and how long/how many countries you intend to have them visit, then there may be more help offered.
The odd one

Buy a GDR Communist military badge in Berlin. That's always good for some fun.
Then I guess the obligatory drinking of beer...and maybe eating a Doner Kebab in Hamburg-Wandsbek Subway Station - that'll get the blood pumping!
As the last post said, send em to Ireland. The country is rife with histrory.
I don't even know where to start.
You could send them to the University where I am now

Another suggestion for finding the college could be where Finbarr thaught let munster learn..which is the college Motto
There are a bunch of museums in Dublin and there are castles every where.
There used to be a castle near me called Castle Freak which was exceptionally haunted, but it was knocked down a few years ago

Better yet: have them all start in Portugal with $100 and travel to Siberia. The survivors win. :D

Ypu should send them to the UK, up to Scotland and do something with the Falkirk wheel/
It's a kind of ferris wheel like the london eye..... but in typical scottish over the top fashion it lifts boats.
Get your folk on that!

send them to france and give them the clue "im thinking of pointy cheese" - th answer being: a micdonalds near(or in??) the eifle tower where they'll buy a cheese burger that tells them to go to amsterdam with the hint "cream puff" - answer being: order coffee with cream and smoke a joint. THEN to get the next clue (which will be printed on paper with special ink) they have to blow the weed smoke on the paper which uses the THC to show the clue "cherio". sending them to london where they have to buy a box of Uncle Bens Rice with canadian money.. ill let you go from there
