What’s New in Scavenger Hunts, Passports & Tours

We’ve rolled out a series of powerful admin tools and upgrades that make it easier to capture data, showcase engagement, and protect the integrity of your activities. These updates give organizers more control and insights while keeping the in-app player experience smooth and consistent.

Scavenger Hunt Photos in Your Instagram-Style Galleries

Our apps have long featured Instagram-style photo galleries—a favorite for presenting event moments in a familiar, modern format. Now you can go a step further by pulling user-submitted images from scavenger hunt stops directly into those galleries.

Example

Food festival: Participants snapping pictures at BBQ stands can have their images featured in your app’s gallery, giving everyone a taste of the action in real time.

Locked Hunts for Fair Play

Once a scavenger hunt is live, the admin setup is automatically locked to keep the experience consistent for everyone playing in the app. Admins can’t add new stops or change the order of stops after the hunt has started, which prevents behind-the-scenes tweaks that could cause issues or confusion. If a change is truly needed, admins can manually unlock the hunt.

Registration Insights

Data capture just got smarter. With Registration Insights, you can easily view and export participant details collected before the hunt begins. Current registration fields include Name, Initials, Email, Phone Number, and Location—giving you meaningful data on who’s playing and where they’re coming from.

• Build participant contact lists for follow-up communication.
• Understand geographic reach and audience demographics.
• Segment participants for targeted marketing campaigns.
• Create smarter event strategies backed by real data.

Example

County fair: Quickly see how many participants are coming from neighboring towns and use that insight to guide future marketing campaigns.

Login Through App Onboarding (Select Packages Only)

For organizations that want deeper data capture, scavenger hunts can tie into your app’s General Onboarding. This login happens once per user and connects participation to a unique profile, depending on your package level.

Example

Tourism passport: A tourism group sells access in person and provides unique codes. Attendees use those codes to log in once during onboarding, unlocking exclusive scavenger hunts and passport rewards available only to paid participants.

Archiving & Copying Made Simple

Managing multiple hunts just got easier with new Archiving and Copying tools:

• Archive past hunts to clean up your dashboard while preserving all data for reference.
• Copy hunt settings (time limits, scoring, rules) to spin up a new hunt quickly—note that copying brings over settings only, not the stops.

Example

Holiday lights tour: Copy last year’s hunt settings—such as scoring and registration rules—while updating this year’s stops, saving hours of setup time and keeping prior results archived for comparison.

To make setup easier than ever, we’ve introduced quick-start presets. Each option comes with built-in defaults tailored to your goals, whether you’re running a competitive game, a community passport, an educational tour, or a promotional trail. Here’s how they compare at a glance:
