QR Code Scavenger Hunt
Scan QR codes with your phone's camera to play.
It's a fun way to implement a team-building game, city scavenger hunt, employee onboarding, and much more.
How Does QR Code Scavenger Hunt Work?
Get Started
Scan the QR code at the first clue to join the game and earn your first points. If players work together as a team, one player will register the team, and they can play together.
Play
Continue scanning QR codes to complete the challenges and earn points. In treasure hunt mode, players read the next clue or riddle to know where to go.
Wrap up Party
Finish big and celebrate the fun activity with a wrap-up party! Load the photo galleries from the day on your monitors. Reveal the final leaderboard to declare a game-winner!
