Mar 18, 2016 | Announcements, Eventzee Exposure, TESTIMONIALS
In “Eventzee Exposure” we look at testimonials from happy clients who have hosted their own Scavenger Hunts. Our users’ experience is very important to us, so when things go off without a hitch we want to cheer about it. If you’d be interested in sharing your Eventzee experience please reach out to eventzee@munzee.com.
Host: Troy Titans Football Club
Location: Troy, IL
Event Breakdown:
The Troy Titans football club used Eventzee for their annual fundraising scavenger hunt, turning away from traditional pencil and paper hunts. They directed teams of participants to different areas of town to participate in crazy tasks. Each team was given an inflatable “buddy” they had to include in their photos.
Testimonial:
We used Eventzee for our annual Scavenger Hunt. As the coordinator, it saved me so much time in kicking off our event. As far as all of our volunteers, it saved us a ton of time at the end of our event. In the past we have had a roomful of people checking in with their scavenger hunt items – taking time and space. Using an app completely streamlined our process and helped me keep my sanity.
Our participants loved it! They didn’t like how they couldn’t rip apart pages of clues so everyone on the team could work simultaneously, but that was the point! Everyone enjoyed sharing pictures and videos. Many of our participants could have used better lighting on their phones but I think that is something they will have to work on.
Our Scavenger Hunt is a fun event for our club. We don’t make a lot of money from the event. We just want something easy and fun. Eventzee helped us with that. The app streamlined our event, saved us time and labor, and allowed more of our participants to have a good time.
– Cindy Mahnesmith – Director of Fundraising, Troy Titans Football Club
Clue Examples:
- 12 Little Monkeys – Photo of a team member hanging upside down on monkey bars.
- America’s Got Talent – Take a picture of a teammate doing a headstand in a bar.
- Drink UP – Take a picture of entire team, including inflatable buddy, drinking from one drink (each person, including buddy, has own straw)
- Good Samaritan – Take a picture of a teammate pumping gas for someone while that person holds your inflatable.
- Just being helpful – Take a photo of at least two team members helping fold clothes in a public laundry mat.
Photo Examples:
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 reach out to us at eventzee@munzee.com.

Join our Premium Eventzee Scavenger Hunt!
Since we began our free weekend photo scavenger hunts, our staff has dedicated countless hours toward setting up and running these hunts every weekend. What initially started off as a way to interest new clients into hosting their own scavenger hunts with Eventzee has turned into something much larger. Each weekend we have hundreds of players from across the world submit thousands of photos we approve by hand- all for free.
That being said, we are excited to announce our new Premium Eventzee Photo Scavenger Hunts! Our free weekend photo hunts will continue per usual as well, but special themed hunts will be based around this premium model for the foreseeable future. For a minimal $5 fee players will get exclusive access to a themed photo scavenger hunt, a unique badge created for that hunt and a chance to win prizes from sponsors.

To coincide with St. Patrick’s Day the themed hunt will feature clues based around leprechauns, Irish heritage and, of course, lots of green. The top three winners for this hunt will have their choice between one of three different Munzee Inc. prize packs.

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.
We’ve all been there. You’ve fallen asleep at another corporate training seminar. As some HR guy drones on about synergy you seem to lack the energy to even keep your eyes open. So bring a little excitement into the office with Eventzee: Scavenger Hunts Made Easy.
Take Training and Development To The Next Level:
Want to test your employees knowledge on a particular subject? QR code quiz clues are perfect for engaging your employees and directly gauging their comprehension level. Whether it’s driving traffic to specific areas of a factory or answering quiz questions about the uses of a particular machine, Eventzee is perfect in both office and industrial environments. You can even use specialized surveys to get opinions from your staff on various topics.
Fun Effective Way To Enhance Your Team’s Synergy:
Encourage interactions between your staff in a fun unique way with scavenger hunts. Whether teams have to find particular hidden objects or put their heads together to solve riddles, the surge of competition and gameplay can bring your employees together. Take it a step further and mix up your departments to encourage people to get to know someone they may not work with as often. The closer your staff is and the better they work together, the more successful your product or service will be.
Choose From A Variety of Hunt Options & Features:
Our totally customizable features can be tailored to reflect your business and educate as well as entertain your employees. We offer a variety of different ways to play, so you can decide what works for your staff. Our photo scavenger hunts encourage interaction and activity, while QR codes can be used educationally. Customize your clues to encourage physical activity and get your team moving. Attach a GPS location to a QR clue to encourage employees to explore a new city/market.
So break out of the conference room and get active, social and adventurous. Eventzee is what you make it, so make it great!
