Armed with cameras and competitive spirit, the Trend Hunter crew took to the streets of Toronto on a sunny September day to take part in a video scavenger hunt of epic proportions.
After dividing into four even teams, editors, interns and senior staff all raced through the city to see who could score the most points by completing as many tasks on their scavenger hunt checklist as possible. All participants were required to leave their shame at the door because there was no room for pride when you’re doing things like singing on a street corner or dancing Gangnam Style outside the CHUM-City building.
Of course, all these hilarious moments were captured on film as proof of each team’s accomplishments, and now we’d like to share some of the highlights from the video scavenger hunt with you!
