Scavenger hunts have always been a fun way to interact with others and support camaraderie, but we’ve moved past the limitations of pen and paper. Eventzee takes scavenger hunts to a whole new level by supporting worldwide events and new ways to interact with players. While Eventzee makes it easy to host your own scavenger hunt, it’s up to YOU to make it memorable. So if you’re considering putting on your own, here’s a few tips to get you started.
Eventzee makes hosting scavenger hunts easy- but that’s not to say there’s no prep work involved. When hosting an Eventzee event it’s important to keep your players informed and updated on how to play. Whether you’re hosting a get-together with your family or setting up a training session for your staff retreat, the more prep work the better.
Hunt Set-Up
Once you’ve been granted Admin access and created your event, Eventzee makes it easy to schedule clues ahead of time to go live at any point. It’s important to create and input your clues beforehand so you have a chance to make sure everything is ready the day of. There’s nothing worse than trying to juggle a dozen different duties on the day of an event, so don’t be afraid to let Eventzee go on autopilot a bit.
Download The App
Be sure to have everyone involved in the hunt download Eventzee to their smartphones. The free app can be found in the App store for iOS devices and the Google Play store for Androids. It’s best to have players download the app beforehand so they can sign up and not have to wait on the download on the day of the hunt. This will also be important as you share your event’s join code…
Join The Hunt
Once your players have downloaded the app they’ll need to create an account to play. They just need to open the app, sign-up for a free account, and create a username and password. Once they’ve signed in they just need to scan the QR code the admin has been given to join. This code can be found in the “QR CODES” section of the admin home page. Again, these are all things we suggest having players do in preparation of your event.
CLICK HERE for the template for the Join Code Flyer.
Remember, your event is what you make it, but Eventzee is here to make it as easy on you as possible. To get a more in depth look at setting up Eventzee hunts or how to play Eventzee check out the following guides.
Now that you have some ideas about how to start your Eventzee scavenger hunt, go out and make it happen! If you’re interested in hosting an Eventzee event, sponsoring an official Eventzee photo hunt or just curious about what we can do, contact us at eventzee@munzee.com.

Host: Association For Talent Development- Dallas Chapter
Location: Plano, TX
Event Breakdown:
Eventzee partnered with the Dallas Chapter of ATD to create an engaging experience for the attendees of the Southwest Learning Summit. Combining features from both Photo and QR Code Scavenger hunts ATD used Eventzee to test learning comprehension and encourage networking among the attendees. Photo clues were used to create a fun environment for randomly assigned teams throughout the day. QR Codes were placed outside of each presentation and when players scanned it they were quizzed on the lecture they just watched.
Photo Clue Examples:
- Team Photo- Find as many of your team members as you can at breakfast and take a picture.
- Friendly Competition – Introduce yourself to opposing team members at breakfast and take a picture with at least one.
- Perfect Presentation- After your first presentation is complete, take a picture next to the presentation poster outside of the conference room.
- Vibrant Vendors – Take a picture with a vendor at their booth!
- Full House – Take a picture of the room full of attendees AFTER your first afternoon session is concluded.
- Buddy System – Take a picture with a team member during a break.
QR Code Quiz Examples:
Dr. Lana Petru Quiz- Scan the code and answer this question after Petru’s presentation “The Business Case for Emotional Intelligence”
- Quiz Question:
- Dr. Lane Petru posits that _________ is the single biggest predictor of performance in the workplace.
- Assumed Responsibility
- Higher Education
- Corporate Experience
- Emotional Intelligence- CORRECT
Dr. Patti Phillips Quiz- Scan the code and answer this question after Dr. Phillips’ presentation “How to Measure the Success of Learning and Development”

Integrate technology into your classroom to help enhance education and encourage passion in learning. Students of all ages know their way around tablets, smartphones and computers- sometimes more so than their teachers. So it’s up to you as the educator to combine technology and textbooks to offer unique learning opportunities in the classroom.
As education develops digitally there are reasonable risks that come with it. At Eventzee we understand that the focus on student information and privacy is of utmost importance. We work hard to make this program fun, customizable, and most importantly, safe for all ages by putting control in the hands of educators.
For more info look into our updated Eventzee EDU clause in our Privacy Policies.
Students already spend a large portion of their time playing interactive games on a variety of devices, so use this interest to enhance their education. Class is already back in session so don’t waste any time- bring Eventzee EDU to your school!

We are proud to announce that a new line of badges have been released for having your photos added to the gallery in an official Eventzee photo scavenger hunt. The Curator line has been created with the intent of awarding creativity and uniqueness in photo submissions. We see so many great photos come in from players who take the time and effort to create their photos in fun and unique ways and they deserve to be awarded.
THE CURATOR LINE:
As you may imagine these badges are subjective to the admin at that time and what one person thinks is creative can differ from another admin, but the intent is to encourage players to get creative with their submissions.
The following are basic rules regarding how a photo can be added to the gallery:
- A photo deemed unique and creative in regards to the clue. Whether that means they took the time to create a over-the-top situation or happened upon a unique subject for their photo, an admin saw their submission and thought it was gallery worthy.
- Quality photos. We really want the galleries to represent the best of the best and that includes the quality of the image you send us. That does not mean players with better phones will have an advantage, it means we are looking for non-blurry, in-focus images.
- Originality. Although we encourage people to play with friends we discourage players from all submitting the same photos. So if a gallery-worthy image is uploaded and it is followed by more mimic photos only the first to come in will be added to the gallery. Be original when playing with multiple people.
- Anonymity: Remember that photo approval is anonymous so we won’t know who you are or how many photos you have had added to the gallery. This is completely unbiased and focuses solely on creativity and uniqueness.
- Have fun with it. The key to creativity and enjoying Eventzee in general is having fun. If you’re having fun with your photo submissions, there’s a good chance that will show in your submission.
- NO SCREENSHOTS. As always no screenshots will be approved or added to the gallery unless the clues asks for it e.g. #ThrowBackThursday.
Remember, these badges will only count for photos added to official Eventzee event galleries. To join our free weekend photo scavenger hunts which are open to anyone worldwide just join on the in-app calendar or scan the week’s join code. Our Weekend Warriors free photo hunts are every weekend and completely free for anyone to play. 15 clues go live every Thursday at 3 PM CST and you have until Sunday at 3 PM CST to complete the clues.
