Our hunts are custom events that both match your goals and exceed your expectations.
You can expect participants to have a great time and be talking about this as an epic event well afterward. Your group will create hilarious videos and photos that make long-lasting memories for everyone involved. Social Scavenger ensures an easy implementation and all the support you need to ensure a smooth day.
This classic event will have you exploring an area of the city while trying to outdo your competition by taking the best photos and videos, answering trivia challenges and puzzles with the fewest hints and of course picking the best route to victory. Each team can choose their own path, so whether you’re a team of 10 or 10,000 you won’t be on top of each other in this epic adventure. When you do bump into other teams - get ready to compete in a hilarious VS. challenge.
For teams and groups that are in different cities, we also offer an experience tailored towards parallel play.

How to Play
We recommend teams of ~5 for maximum engagement and competition. While only one person per team will use their smartphone to join your private game, everyone plays a critical role in completing challenges before the clock runs out. Games typically run between 90 minutes - 2 hours and involve both teamwork and creativity in completing photo challenges, videos, puzzles and much more.

Game Day Services
When you combine our event team with your hi-tech adventures, you get the best of both worlds. This is just some of what you can expect:
A Big Boost Of Creativity
Our team awards bonus points and sends out personalized messages as submissions roll in, promoting creativity and engagement, because everyone loves bonus points.
Suspense
With 30 minutes left in your game and competition at full peak, we pull the rug out and hide the leaderboard. Why? To make the winner’s ceremony that much more exciting.
Custom Video
There’s no better way to wrap-up your game than with a custom highlight reel video, featuring the best of the best moments from your adventure.
Live Support
Your game team can also be available via in-app chat, WhatsApp or Zoom for any in-game questions - which are rare - but just for peace of mind.
Epic Video Wrap-Up
When the time runs out, the experience is far from over!
Our mission is to connect people through epic shared game experiences - building stronger teams and connections around the world. We do this by creating an epic video wrap-up that showcases all of the submissions and memories created during the event.
Our team will make your event a hit on almost any budget. From out-of-the-box self-serve games through to our fully personalized white glove service, we have an offering for everyone. Ask us about our Premium Add-ons which include:
Live Scoring and Judges
We watch. We judge. We award bonus points based on creativity and effort. Oh... and we send teams funny messages based on what we see happening.
Video Crew
Add a team of videographers to tail around your participants. The mix of videos from the players with those from the crew makes for a great experience.
Live Stations
Find our hosts at a series of stations and discover what challenge awaits your team.
Live Actors
Why not take it a step further and have our cosplay style actors / actresses placed at special locations for your teams to track down?
Library
Unlock our library of challenges from past successful implementations. Search the library by tag, tap a button and it is now part of your game.
Integrations
You use a new innovative ticketing system and need it to work with us right? We can tie our platform to other systems.
Program Development
Engage our game makers to understand your objectives and then work backwards to build the perfect game for your audience.
Custom Reporting
Analytics on your mind? Beyond our standard reporting we can work to develop custom reports based on your goals and desired outcomes.
Custom Boxes
Everyone wants to know what's in the box... but why ruin the surprise? We are happy to customize boxes for large events and a variety of themes.
Personalize the Experience
Looking for more - or not yet ready to go Premium? Customizing your game adds a level of personalization, fun and connection that you don’t get with most events. Customizations for games may include:
Personalized Challenges
Every challenge can be personalized. Get executives to introduce challenges with a video, integrate vision and mission statements, and test on company or group trivia from the past.
Highlight Reels
At your activity, the highlight reel is always a hand-crafted hit and goes very well with an award ceremony or as a fun memento.
Custom Branding
Your game can be fully branded for a company, individual or theme. Full branding means not just a logo, but terms, icons, custom areas and more.
Custom Stickers
Branded, personalized or themed stickers can be created for you. Get players interacting and producing photos of themselves with your logo, mascot or otherwise special sticker.
FAQs
What are the Physical Requirements and How Long is the Game?
The game is played on foot and while each game / city is slightly different expect a casual walking pace for up to 2 hours with lots of stops to do challenges and explore the space.
If you want a more ‘fast paced’ game please let us know and we’ll turn up the heat. Alternatively, we also have 60 and 90 minute versions available.
How Do We Make the Teams?
We will give you our $0.02 on the best way to make teams based on your outcomes, but more random than not is always a good idea.
Are We All Walking Around Together?
No. Our games are designed to scatter teams across the playing field and large groups can be assigned a variety of starting points.
Are the Start / Stop Locations Provided or Custom?
Both. We have a game ‘zone’ for you to play in with recommended stop / starts, but can accommodate custom start / stop locations in most cases. We can also customize any of our games to specific locations, but normally that’s not required.
Do We Use Your App To Play?
Yes. One person per team - or more if you wish - will download our proprietary app and join your private game. The app is loaded with fun and special features. However, if you have a strong phobia of downloading apps, many of our games can be played on a mobile web version (meaning no download).
The app is configured per event but can include: challenges, maps, live streams (showing you other teams in action), live leaderboard, chat room (or trash talking zone), rewards and yes - more!
Will We Have Game Day Support and a Host?
If you are booking a premier event you’ll have access to our live virtual events team, though frankly not a lot of support is required once you get started. We have 3 tiers of events - but every game comes with a game producer who sets you up for success. So whether you prefer to run your own show, want our virtual team conducting things or even an in person host - just let us know!
What is the Booking Process?
Once you are ready to book, you’ll tell us the basics (e.g. which game, location, date, approx. headcount, etc.) and we’ll get you a contract, a deposit invoice and a game producer.
Your game producer will make sure you have a great event and will handle any customization requests, hosts etc. You are in good hands.
What if We Don’t Know How Many People Will Be Playing?
No problem! We will only invoice you for up to 90% of your headcount ensuring you have some wiggle room - but you don’t need to give us those numbers right away either.
What about Rain & Inclement Weather?
Did we mention you're in good hands? While some of the most epic games have happened when teams battle a few elements, you are able to rebook your game for a future date at no additional cost. We also have ‘indoor’ games in many cities in case there is no future date for you.

"We had a great experience using Social Scavenger for a fun scavenger hunt at one of our summer events. The app was extremely user friendly, we were able to customize how everything looked, select and add on our own sticker logos, and have random QR codes hidden throughout the park. The staff were also very helpful and always willing to help. A Great tool and a lot of fun!"
