What have been your most successful lock-in ideas?
I realize not everyone uses lock-ins, but in my ministry context it is our biggest outreach event of the year. We pull in over 1/4 of our student body of 700 to that one night, far eclipsing our normal weekly programs. It is our key outreach event of the year.
So just wondering, what are the things you have done at your [outreach] lock-in that have been a hit in any or all of the following areas:
1. The rally/large group gathering
2. Sports/games
3. Options/rooms
4. Counseling/Response time
5. Prizes
6. Anything else...

we kinda quit doing lock ins as well, but i will probably do one over the summer as an outreach. We play romans v. christians (underground church) and i do alot of scavenger hunts at wal mart of the mall, lots of ideas for those at http://www.diva-girl-parties-and-stuff.com/ scavenger-hunts.html otherwise, we do a lot of high energy fun stuff and i always include a surprise trip to the sanctuary in our church where i will have a 'come to jesus' sermon prepped with an optional prayer time afterward for kids who need to talk. |

I hate lock-ins. Sorry, had to say that first. |

A huge success has been "underground church". I had some difficulty keeping up with everyone because the premise of the game is go hide with people in a dark corner. If you have some ideas on how to control that part it really is a blast. |

My lockins are usually an on-going competition between teams all night long, with a big prize in the morning for whichever teams has the post points. See my video for details.
