  • Nature Walk: Encourage employees to take a walk and snap photos of local wildlife or plant life!

Swipeclock, a Utah-based software company with both remote and hybrid employees recently utilized the Eventzee scavenger hunt app for their “Earth Hunt Month” employee event. Their event featured innovative tasks that encouraged employees to “Go Green” with challenges like “Grow Your Own Food”, instructing players to plant a veggie garden, “Another Person’s Treasure”, having players donate unwanted household items, and “Stall Out”, prompting players to have a car-free day!
