Snowbird Living Scavenger Hunts: Bringing the Ave Maria Community Together, One Treasure at a Time!
By Snowbird Living· October 23, 2026· Southwest Florida

Join Snowbird Living Scavenger Hunts in Ave Maria, Florida! Win cash and gift cards, discover local businesses, and learn how to sponsor the next hunt.
Who doesn't love a good treasure hunt? Especially when there's cash, gift cards, and a little friendly competition involved!
If you've been following Snowbird Living on Facebook, you've probably noticed something exciting happening around Ave Maria, Florida. Our Snowbird Living Scavenger Hunts have been sending residents, families, and friends on adventures throughout town, searching for hidden prizes sponsored by local businesses.
And judging by how quickly some of these prizes have disappeared, Ave Maria has some pretty talented treasure hunters!
But there's more to these scavenger hunts than finding cash or gift cards. They're about bringing people together, discovering our community, and supporting the businesses that make Southwest Florida such a wonderful place to live.
How Do the Snowbird Living Scavenger Hunts Work?
It's simple, and that's part of the fun!
Snowbird Living hides a prize somewhere in the community, then shares a video with clues on our social media pages.
The hunt is on!
Participants watch the video, study the clues, and head out to see if they can find the hidden treasure before someone else does.
Sometimes it's a gift card to a local restaurant or business. Other times, there's cold, hard cash waiting to be discovered.
And when we say these prizes go quickly, we mean it. Some have been found within minutes!
The best part? You never know where the next adventure might take you.
Matt's Custom Golf Carts Is Raising the Stakes!
One local business helping make these hunts especially exciting is Matt's Custom Golf Carts.
Matt's Custom Golf Carts has already sponsored a $100 cash scavenger hunt and followed it up with an incredible $200 cash giveaway!
That's $300 in cash prizes from one local business, all going back into the community.
And they're not stopping there!
Matt's Custom Golf Carts is looking to increase the prize pot even further, bringing even bigger excitement to future Snowbird Living Scavenger Hunts.
We love seeing local businesses get creative about connecting with residents. Instead of another traditional advertisement, they're helping create an experience that people can participate in, share, and remember.
And if you've seen the excitement surrounding these hunts, you know just how much fun they've become!
Cash Giveaways, Gift Cards & Local Surprises
Not every treasure comes with a dollar bill attached.
Our scavenger hunts have also featured gift cards donated by local businesses, giving winners the chance to discover restaurants, shops, services, and other great experiences around Ave Maria.
It's a fun way to introduce residents to businesses they might not have visited before.
Maybe you discover your new favorite restaurant. Maybe you find a great local service. Or maybe you simply enjoy the thrill of being the first person to uncover the hidden prize.
Either way, the community wins.
Local Businesses Supporting Local Businesses
This is what Snowbird Living is all about.
Local businesses supporting local businesses, while bringing the entire community along for the adventure.
When a business sponsors a scavenger hunt, they're doing more than giving away a prize.
They're creating excitement, introducing themselves to potential customers, and giving residents another reason to explore their own backyard.
At Snowbird Living, we get to help tell those stories, highlight the sponsors, and connect them with the people who call Ave Maria and Southwest Florida home.
It's community engagement with a little extra adventure thrown in!
And for us, that's far more exciting than another ordinary advertisement.
Want Your Business to Sponsor the Next Snowbird Living Scavenger Hunt?
We're always looking for local businesses interested in joining the fun!
Whether you own a restaurant, retail shop, golf cart business, home service company, or another Southwest Florida business, sponsoring a Snowbird Living Scavenger Hunt is a creative way to get your name in front of the community.
Your business can sponsor a cash prize, provide a gift card, or work with us on a special giveaway.
We'll help bring the excitement through our Snowbird Living social media channels, with video clues, community participation, and recognition for the business making the adventure possible.
And who knows? Your business could be behind the next big hunt everyone in Ave Maria is talking about!
