# Alien Scavenger Hunts The 'Space Invader Walk' Has Participants Making a Giant Invader By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invader-walk References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/32239/) & [woostercollective](http://www.woostercollective.com/2010/07/one_not_to_miss_the_space_invader_walk_i.html) The Space Invader Walk is a pretty inventive way to attract people to the [Museum of Contemporary Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-of-graffiti1) in San Diego. For its "Viva la Revolucion" exhibition, the museum has created a giant space invader (that can be seen from high up) by planting 21 space invaders throughout the city as a scavenger hunt. The space invaders are found on the sides of buildings or on side walks. It must have been quite a challenge for Invader to create a [giant space invader in the city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2), especially when you don't have the birds-eye view for reference. The Space Invader Walk would be a great weekend activity! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Urban Scavenger Hunts:** Create scavenger hunts in urban areas to attract visitors to museums or other cultural attractions. - **Interactive Art Exhibitions:** Design interactive art exhibitions that encourage participation and exploration outside traditional museum settings. - **Augmented Reality Tours:** Develop augmented reality tours that allow visitors to interact with installations and exhibits in a new way. ### Who This Affects Most - **Museums:** Museums can create innovative exhibits and events that engage new audiences through interactive, technology-driven experiences. - **Tourism:** Tourism companies can offer immersive, interactive urban adventures that explore a city's art and culture scene using new technology and techniques. - **Mixed Reality:** Mixed reality companies could create innovative augmented reality experiences that enhance and extend the visitor experience at museums and other cultural attractions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Augmented Reality Travel Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-murals.md) - [Interactive Outdoor Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-chase.md) - [Interdimensional Gaming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alienware-x-twitch.md) - [Sensory Museum Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-museum.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Immersive Art Escape Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daydream-adventures.md) - [Health-Focused Scavenger Hunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucinex-scavenger-hunt.md) - [Gaming Fandom Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-code-break.md) - [Urban Egg Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humansized-egg-installation.md)
