Birthday, Bachelorette and Holiday Scavenger Hunts

Create a scavenger hunt for a birthday, bachelorette, family reunion or holiday party in minutes. Photo dares, trivia about the guest of honor, and a live leaderboard everyone watches from their phone.

Skip the paper clue cards. Write the hunt on your phone, text one link to the group, and let the leaderboard do the trash-talking for you.

Ready in twenty minutes

Start from a party template, personalize a few clues about the guest of honor, done.

Photos are the point

Every photo challenge is saved to the hunt, so you end the night with an album nobody had to collect.

Free for small groups

Up to 20 players and 3 teams on the free plan. A single Scout hunt is $25 if you want all clue types and more teams.
