Hide twelve treasure objects, give each team a level, and let them tap their way to the treasure. Each team’s phone always shows the clue to its next object.
Setting up a hunt
- Activate your lunchbox under My games, then open Games → Scavenger Hunt.
- Choose indoors or outdoors. Indoors, pick a hiding spot for each object. Outdoors, paste a Google Maps pin for each stop.
- Pick a theme: Classic Riddles, General Knowledge, Bible & Faith, Pirate, Space or Detective. Quiz themes ask a question before each clue.
- Set the order and number of stops with the arrows. You can use 1 to 12 objects.
- Write your own clues if you like. Any stop can have your own clue or riddle, and your own question to unlock it.
- Hide each object where its stop says, and the treasure token last.
- Try it first under Test play. It shows exactly what each level will see, without using real tags.
Playing
- Players tap any object to join. They type a team name and pick a level, and their first clue appears.
- They solve the clue, find that object and tap it. The next clue appears.
- Tapping an object too early shows “Not yet!” and the clue they’re still working on.
- The last clue leads to the treasure token. Tapping it shows “Treasure found!” and the team’s time.
- Watch every team’s progress under Live teams.
Levels
- Little Explorers (ages 4–7): short, direct clues. Great for reading together.
- Trailblazers (ages 8–12): classic riddles and school-level questions.
- Masterminds (teens and adults): cryptic wordplay and harder trivia.
Questions
Can teams play at different levels at the same time?
Yes. Every team chooses its own level, and they all find the same objects.
How many teams can play?
Up to 40 teams at once. Each team only needs one phone.
How many hunts can I save?
Your lunchbox includes 3 saved hunts. Build a hunt, then press Save as a new hunt and Play. Players always follow the saved hunt that’s playing. When the slots are full, buy another for R100. Saved hunts can’t be deleted and stay with the lunchbox if you sell it.
How do I start again?
Under Live teams, press Clear all teams. To plan a brand-new hunt, use Start a fresh hunt on the Overview.
We lost an object
Remove that stop in Set up hunt and the hunt carries on without it. Contact us for a replacement piece.
Can players see the answers?
No. Each phone only ever sees the clue for its own next stop.
