Use Eventzee to make your event an adventure! Whether players are discovering historic landmarks, searching for the best local shops, or navigating a festival, having a clear and engaging way to guide them makes all the difference. That’s why Eventzee’s interactive map feature is a game-changer for downtown experiences. The map provides a seamless, user-friendly navigation tool that ensures participants can explore with ease while engaging in interactive challenges along the way.

Route challenges can send participants to specific locations and track activity!
Eventzee’s map feature offers complete flexibility in designing experiences. Organizers can create custom routes, set challenges in specific areas, and adjust experiences based on visitor flow or special events. This not only enhances engagement but also helps direct foot traffic to under-visited areas and local businesses, supporting economic growth and a more balanced downtown experience.
Another major benefit is the real-time engagement and accessibility the map provides. Instead of handing out paper maps or lengthy instructions, participants can simply use their mobile device to navigate and interact with their surroundings. The visual layout makes it easy for visitors of all ages to stay engaged and immerse themselves in the experience, whether they’re lifelong residents rediscovering their city or first-time tourists exploring downtown for the day.
The map feature is particularly powerful in self-guided tours and scavenger hunts especially in downtown areas using our new TownTrek app! This allows users to see challenge locations in real-time and plan their route efficiently. Whether they’re checking in at GPS-based waypoints, scanning QR codes at local businesses, or snapping photos of public art, participants can follow a customized path that highlights key attractions and hidden gems. This makes downtown exploration more intuitive and ensures no must-see location goes unnoticed.
With Eventzee and TownTrek’s map feature, downtown exploration becomes an interactive adventure, transforming ordinary walks into engaging journeys filled with discovery and excitement. Whether you’re planning a historical walking tour, a local shopping challenge, or a seasonal scavenger hunt, TownTrek ensures visitors stay on track while having fun.

The holidays are always super busy for everyone. Make this holiday season a breeze and plan an event hosted on the Eventzee scavenger hunt app. Whether it’s a large event or just one for a family gathering, we’re here to help!
Downtown Tourism Scavenger Hunt App
Is your downtown area heavily trafficked during the holiday season? Make sure that visitors and locals are engaging with local small businesses and restaurants as they complete their holiday shopping!
Many downtowns throughout the US host passport events using the Eventzee scavenger hunt platform. Participants, who are likely competing for a prize or completion keepsake, are encouraged to visit as many businesses in the downtown area as possible.
Snowmass Village, Colorado, is a snow-sport resort town and is frequently visited during the winter and holiday season. Snowmass Mountain Mission, hosted on the Eventzee scavenger hunt app, encourages visitors to explore the area in a self-guided manner, while still having fun, engaging with local businesses, and learning about the community!
Holiday Lights & Sights
One of the best things about the holiday season is the beautiful look of the festivities, including colorful lights, holiday decorations, and more. The Eventzee scavenger hunt app is a great platform for hosting self-guided explorations of decorations.
The city of Loveland, Colorado, hosts a holiday light tour using Eventzee. Earlier this year, they hosted an event called “Hunt for the Loveland Holiday Gnomes”. The event was hosted along a light trail throughout the city, where participants were encouraged to drop by local businesses and other landmarks while searching for 10 unique holiday gnomes.
Hosting a scavenger hunt app event that features holiday attractions is a great way to allow visitors to have a self-guided immersive experience, while also making sure they don’t miss any of the holiday magic!
Employee Engagement
Spread the holiday cheer by letting employees take some time away from their desks to complete a company-themed scavenger hunt! Whether employees are back in the office or they’re still working from home, the Eventzee scavenger hunt app is the perfect tool for a customized, fun holiday event.
If your company doesn’t have time to squeeze in an event before the holiday season is over, engage those employees with a “welcome back” event to start 2022 with a bang!
Party Packs
For family or friends gatherings this holiday season, check out Eventzee’s party pack options. There are a variety of themes to choose from, whether you’d like to have a holiday theme or not. With a 25 person limit, these hunts are perfect to get everyone involved!
Regardless of the type of event you’ll be hosting this holiday season, Eventzee is here to help! For more information and to get in touch, contact Craig Holland, sales@eventzeeapp.com.

Ready to start planning your next youth activity? Using the Eventzee scavenger hunt app for your youth group is easy and can be broken down into a few key steps.
Step 1: Define Your Objectives
Before designing your scavenger hunt, you need to know your goal. Are you aiming to inform, entertain, or achieve both? For example, a Girl Scouts troop might focus on completing a badge requirement, while the Boys Brigade might prioritize building friendships through group activities.
Step 2: Design Engaging Challenges
Now that you’ve established your objectives, it’s time for the fun part—designing your challenges! To keep participants engaged and excited, it’s essential to have a good mix. Photo and video challenges allow for creative expression, while quiz challenges test knowledge. GPS and QR code challenges can guide participants through interactive explorations of their surroundings.
For example, you could create challenges at historical landmarks, where participants take photos, answer related questions, and use GPS to navigate to specific locations. With the Eventzee app you can ensure an easy and enriching scavenger hunt experience.
Step 3: Customize and Brand Your Event
Brand your Eventzee scavenger hunt to enhance the experience and give it a professional feel. Incorporate your group’s logo, colors, and other branding elements that participants will own and take pride in.
Step 4: Launch and Monitor
After setting everything up, the fun begins! Once the hunt has started players can utilize Eventzee’s social features to track the activity through the real-time leaderboard, communicate with one another in the chat, and check out other submissions in the feed. This will add a competitive dimension to get participants working fast and efficiently to complete all tasks.

Eventzee allows organizers to create engaging and educational challenges, making learning an entertaining and interactive experience.
For example, Girl Scouts of Nebraska have used Eventzee previously for their mindfulness and wellness event, designed to teach scouts about mental health awareness and productive practices. This hands-on approach to learning allowed the scouts to use the app directly to answer journal prompts, complete tasks like creating a meditative space, and more.
Customization for Unique Experiences
Every youth group has unique values and objectives. The Eventzee app’s customizable features allow each group to tailor its scavenger hunts to meet specific needs.
For instance, the Boys Brigade can organize activities that promote fitness and teamwork within their group. Meanwhile, Big Brothers Big Sisters can create scenarios that challenge mentorship and foster bonding between Bigs and Littles.
Eventzee supports a variety of challenge types, such as photo and video tasks, quiz questions, and GPS check-ins, allowing for extensive customization possibilities.
Benefits of Using Eventzee for Youth Groups
Eventzee offers several advantages that enhance young people’s participation through key benefits:
· Promotes Teamwork and Collaboration
Scavenger hunts are problem-solving and task-completion, competitive activities that inherently eventuate in teamwork. This means that such teamwork teaches and builds strong relationships in youth groups while also learning how to cooperate.
· Enhances Engagement Through Gamification
Gamification in Eventzee is an aspect that keeps things exciting and motivated for teenagers and children. The system turns learning and exploration into a game; in this way, it gets the attention and captures the fun of any youth team.
· Provides Flexibility and Accessibility
With Eventzee’s mobile platform, players can go out on the scavenger hunt through their smartphones, so it is relatively approachable to nearly every kid.
Moreover, one may change the challenge design so you can utilize this application from being in an urban area to some countryside campsite.

What are “Party Packs”? Party Packs are premade scavenger hunts with 20+ Photo, Video, and Quiz challenges written around a central theme, allowing up to 25 players. These packs are perfect for birthday parties, family reunions, weddings, any gathering of friends and family – and we’ve done all the work for you.
When you purchase a Party Pack, you will have admin privileges which include: having the ability to approve and reject Photo and Video submissions from players, the ability to download submitted photos and videos for your own use, and more! They do NOT include the ability to edit the challenges (if you would like that ability, please Contact Us to set up a Custom Hunt). As we are offering this service of creating a private scavenger hunt with challenges already written for use in your event, the price for Party Packs is $49.99.
If you had purchased one of the Themed Huntz we sold in the past, this may sound familiar. As mentioned earlier, the main change is that instead of offering a single entry ticket into a scavenger hunt, which you would purchase as a player, we are now offering an entire premade hunt, which you would purchase as an event host. In addition, each of the Party Packs has DOUBLE the amount of challenges that the Themed Huntz had, bringing them to 20 challenges each, with the exception of the A, B, ZEEs! Party Pack, which still has 26 challenges. Some of the new challenges we added are Video and Quiz challenges, so you and your attendees can get a taste of these new challenge types, though the majority are still Photo challenges.
These hunts have been designed so you and your attendees can do them in your home, but as always we suggest getting creative! Some of these challenges will be items you’ll search for, while others you’ll need to craft yourself.
In order to purchase a Party Pack, simply visit our shop here: https://eventzeeapp.com/party-packs/. Once the purchase is complete, you will receive an e-mail with instructions like the one shown below.
This e-mail covers everything you need to know to finish your Party Pack event setup, so make sure to read it carefully! If you run into any issues, please feel free to e-mail us at support@eventzeeapp.com.
Lastly, here’s a rundown of the Packs! Again, for those of you who had seen the Themed Huntz, the descriptions remain mostly the same as before, but we have created an entirely new Super Spooky Season Pack as well!

While some of these Packs may fit certain occasions better than others, you can purchase them at any time — after all, it’s your event! Encourage your players to be creative as you’ll have a better variety of photos and videos to download and use! If you’ve got any prizes to award, you can use the event leaderboard as the basis!
If you’ve made it this far, thank you so much for reading and we hope you enjoy these new Party Packs. We hope to come up with more in the future if there’s enough interest in this type of product!
Happy hunting!
Jan 13, 2022 | Hunt Tips
As we look to plan our 2022 events, there’s no doubt that the structure of events has changed – no matter what industry you’re in. Living in a COVID world has shaped the way we think about the events we host, what kind of activities we include, and how our attendees will be receptive to the event as a whole. Be prepared for any situation by hosting a hybrid event using Eventzee!
We’re always looking for ways to stay ahead of the game when it comes to helping our clients create one-of-a-kind event experiences, no matter the circumstances. Below are some ideas to consider for your next hybrid event!
Give Attendees the Option to Stay Home
Traveling can be difficult during the pandemic, especially when it comes to gatherings of large groups of people. Creating a hybrid event structure that’s easy to use for all participants is the perfect way to make sure you can proceed with your event as scheduled, even though it might not be how you originally planned it.
An Eventzee scavenger hunt is a great tool for creating an environment that is easy for at-home participants. They can simply download the Eventzee app and enter their specific event code, which allows them instant access.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bluegrass recently hosted a hybrid fundraising event with the Eventzee scavenger hunt app, where different sets of questions were offered to the at-home participants and the in-person attendees. By making it easy to have an option (virtual or in-person) on how to join, they were able to increase their overall participation.
Engage At-Home Participants
Simply hosting a webinar won’t suffice in 2022. People are inundated with virtual meetings throughout every work day, which could make participation in virtual events decrease significantly as people are sidetracked with emails, calls, and tasks.
Engage attendees of virtual events by utilizing a scavenger hunt app, where participants can have fun with trivia, chat with other participants, and work for points to earn prizes by performing a variety of tasks and challenges.
Save Money, Time, and Energy
Does the in-person portion of your event include a paper passport that attendees can get signed to win prizes? With the Eventzee scavenger hunt app, you can save time and money by skipping the print and utilizing a virtual option instead. Attendees can simply scan QR codes or submit trivia answers and pictures to display their engagement. Each QR code scanned earns the participant a digital “badge” which functions as a digital passport stamp
This past summer, Champaign, Illinois, used the Eventzee scavenger hunt app to increase their tourism in their downtown area. In the past, they utilized paper passports but found that of all the passports they handed out, only a small percentage were completed and returned. By introducing Eventzee, they were able to change up the structure of the event, offered a variety of challenges, and overall saw a huge increase in participation.
Easily Collect Marketing Materials on the Scavenger Hunt App
Eventzee has 7 different challenge types for scavenger hunt app events. One of our favorite challenge types is the image challenge, where event hosts can prompt participants to take specific photos, whether that be in specific locations throughout a given area, or completing specific actions! With event attendees permissions, these photos make great marketing pieces for company culture, social media or future events!
Not sure where to start when it comes to planning your hybrid or virtual event? We’re here to help! For more information and to get in touch, contact Craig Holland, sales@eventzeeapp.com.
