This shows up in several anime that take place during a school's sports festival as a "fetch race", where each participant gets a piece of paper with what they have to find written on it, then everyone goes to find what they have as quickly as possible.

* ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' issue #7 (Gold Key, April, 1972) had "The Scavenger Scramble," in which the racers had to gather specific items--a real-gone muffler, a drop of dirty motor oil on the driver's right palm, a strip of a worn-out tire, and a parking ticket. A big purse is up for grabs to the winner, and [[TeamRocketWins Dick Dastardly wins it]]. He wins a large, flowery woman's purse. (Penelope Pitstop was first at the finish line but she lost because for a "real gone muffler," she had a psychedelic scarf instead of a beat-up exhaust pipe.)

* ''Fanfic/NobledarkImperium'': The Great Savlar Scavenger Hunt, the Savlar Order's preferred method of selling off the neutronium that they produce. Once their stockpile is full, they post a long list of items at their gate; this is invariably long, eclectic, and very specific in the precise methods and quantities of delivery. If, for instance, one item is a specific amount of Valhallan brandy in a specific number of arsenic bronze containers then you bring that much in that many containers, no more and no less and in no other manner. No rationale is given for the list's components, which change from occasion to occasion, but it's generally assumed to include necessary raw materials, plus food and items for personal use, plus random junk to throw off people (especially the Mechanicum) trying to figure out how to make neutronium. The first group or person to provide the whole list to the Order's satisfaction gets the whole stock of material to use or sell as they see fit.

* A hunt of the "preprinted clues" variety is one plot in ''[[Literature/AuntDimity Aunt Dimity and the Village Witch]]''. A seventeenth-century vicar wrote an account of a woman reputed to be a witch and hid pages of it in locations in and around the village. Mrs. Amelia Thistle has the first page, left to her by her late brother, and comes to Finch to find the rest. Each page has a graphic clue to the location of the next, and Lori and other residents join in the search by deciphering the clues.
* Creator/AgathaChristie used a variation called a murder hunt (following clues to various places leading to a staged murder scene) on the grounds of Nasse House in ''Literature/DeadMansFolly''.
* Irene Adler uses a scavenger hunt at a houseparty as cover so she and her companion Nell Huxleigh can retrieve [[spoiler: a jeweled belt called the Zone of Diamonds]] from [[spoiler: under a cross in Oscar Wilde's garden]] in Carole Nelson Douglas' ''Good Night, Mr. Holmes''.
* Creator/NgaioMarsh's ''Hand in Glove'' has Lady Bantling's scavenger hunt covering the murder of one of her neighbours. The man's body is found in an open trench.
* A major part of the novel ''Leap Year'' has the characters go out on a scavenger hunt around town.
* In the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' book ''[[Recap/WarriorCatsTheSight The Sight]]'', Icekit and Foxkit are disappointed that they're too young to participate in the apprentice competitions, so their mother Ferncloud sets a scavenger hunt for them: they have to bring back a beetle, some moss, and a fly.
