WARRENS — Greg Finger was talking with the media when five girls sprinted toward the group. “Are you the park manager?” one of them asked.

It was a question more than 500 people at Jellystone Park wanted to know Saturday. The identity of the park manager was one of 30 questions that sent campers scurrying through the campground during a Guinness World Records attempt for the largest scavenger hunt. Finger, who is, indeed, the park manager, said the campground wanted to set a world record for an activity it already does. “We have a scavenger hunt every weekend,” he said. “We were looking for a family-oriented record we could break.”

The record was topped just last month when 288 people did a scavenger hunt in Japan. Diane Yaquinto, the campground’s general manager, believes her guests easily shattered the record when 130 four-person teams signed up. The scavenger hunt doesn’t require contestants to actually gather items. Instead, teams are given a list of 30 questions that can be answered by canvassing the park. The winner was determined by a combination of speed and number of correct answers.

Questions included: Where is the “lost and found” box located? What is par on Boo Boo’s mini golf for Hole No. 5? What color are the arcade redemption tickets? A team from Champlin, Minn., was the first to submit its answers (the actual winner won’t be verified until today). The team needed just 5 minutes, 17 seconds. The group said getting the park manager’s name was the hardest. “We lucked out on that one,” said Brandon Cook. “I was there when I heard someone else ask.” They added that getting the information from the mini golf course was tricky.

“I asked (Brandon) to go check ... without disturbing anyone,” Craig Cook said. Twelve-year-old John Scraith of Milwaukee said experience helps. “Some of the questions are harder than others, but we’ve been coming up here every year, so a lot of them were easy,” he said. It also helped to have transportation. Many of the teams took golf carts or bikes. “It was chaos,” said 15-year-old Carolyn Siroka, Scraith’s teammate. “That’s what made it fun.”
