Make your hunt, share a link, and let people play

  1. Choose the occasion and place

    Give your hunt a name and describe who it is for. Build an indoor birthday hunt, a classroom activity, a neighborhood walk, or a challenge for friends.

  2. Add clues and challenges

    Write riddles with answers, ask players to take photos, add multiple-choice questions, or set GPS checkpoints. Use a guided route for stops in order, or a points hunt for challenges players choose.

  3. Publish and invite your players

    Share the hunt link, join code, or QR code. Everyone can play without an account. Players can optionally sign up after finishing to save their progress and join leaderboards.

  4. Keep editing whenever you need to

    Your browser saves access to manage your creations. After publishing, you can optionally create an account or sign in to link your hunts and manage them from another device.

Three clue ideas to get you started

Birthday photo challenge

“Find something the birthday person loves and take a photo.” Choose a photo challenge and tell players what makes a good answer.

Neighborhood riddle

“I welcome readers, lend out stories, and ask for quiet. Where am I?” Set the answer to your local library and add a hint.

Outdoor checkpoint

“Meet where the path crosses the stream.” Place a GPS checkpoint at the bridge and add directions that fit your route.
