I've only worked on a couple reality shows (Gordon Ramsey's Hotel Hell and a recent season of The Batchelor). Interviews on Hotel Hell were pretty long (2+ hours) with a bunch of producers (all British) in a production trailer outside the hotel watching and feeding questions/directing the lady doing the interview, who herself had a thick stack of notes/questions for the talent. They were relentless in getting them to break down be as emotional as possible and also encouraged/prodded them to vent and curse lol. The talent would often be asked to rephrase statements for a few takes until they got a take the producers liked. It was eye opening to the unreality of reality TV. I did learn a lot though and one of the producers gave me invaluable advice to not waste time getting a film degree and instead chose a department to work in and learn the craft organically. He said they never factor a degree into hiring and only care what you've done and are capable of. And have a good demo reel if applicable.

Thanks for the breakdown! Have you considered putting together a few themed scavenger hunt kits to sell on your site? Perhaps even evolving into a subscription model where someone receives 6-12 small kits each year to have a memorable monthly hunt with their kids for example.

I am hopelessly intrigued by this concept.

This is incredibly wholesale and inspirational. You may have answered already, but what's the typical number of hunts you do each year?
