The builder
A hunt is more than a list of clues
Four challenge types, real GPS navigation, leaderboards, and AI that writes the first draft. Here is what you can build into one.
Start from a sentence
Describe the occasion and the place. You get a full draft with a route, clues, and challenges in minutes, then make it yours.
Four challenge types
Clues, quizzes, missions, and tasks. Mix them in any order to set the pace you want.
Missions in the real world
Send players to a GPS location, ask for a photo or a voice note, or have them scan a QR code.
Guided to the spot
A live map points toward the next location, so the game keeps moving and players stay oriented.
Scores and leaderboards
Players are ranked by score, then by time taken. Under competitive scoring, hints and tries cost points.
Discovery facts
Drop a short 'did you know' after a step is solved. Keep it off, standard, or rich.
Build as a team
You own the hunt; invite people to help, with admin or view roles for who can change what.
See where players struggle
Step-by-step difficulty, session drill-downs, and an AI read of the answers players actually gave.
Start from a template
Pick a ready-made hunt and adjust it, instead of starting from a blank page.
Pricing
Free to build. Pay only when more phones play.
Every hunt is free to build and share, and up to 5 phones can play it each month. Bigger group? Buy a phone pack once and use it on all your hunts.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt?
Start by telling us who it's for and where it happens. AI picks up from there and drafts the whole thing: clues, route, challenges. You fine-tune it in the builder, then share a link when you're happy with it.
Do players need to download an app?
No. Players open a link in their phone's browser and start playing immediately. No app store, no signup.
What types of hunts can I create?
Birthday surprises, classroom activities, team offsites, proposals, you name it. You pick the route, write the clues, and choose the challenge types. Or let AI handle the first draft and adjust from there.
Is HedgeHunt free to use?
You can start for free. Tell us your idea and AI puts together a full draft. Customize it however you want, and share it, and up to 5 phones can play it free each month. Bigger group? Buy a phone pack once and use it on all your hunts.
What's the difference between a treasure hunt and a scavenger hunt?
Most people mean the same thing. HedgeHunt works for both styles: follow clues in order like a classic treasure hunt, or complete tasks scattered around like a scavenger hunt. You can mix clues, quizzes, photo challenges, and location check-ins however you want.
Can I change my hunt after I've shared the link?
Yes. Players only ever see the version you released. Anything you edit after that stays private until you release again, and people mid-game finish the version they started. You can also pause a hunt, or bring back an earlier version from your release history.
Can different groups follow different routes?
Yes. Groups can start at different points of the same route so they don't crowd one spot, or each group can visit the stops in its own order. Both are free.
Who writes the discovery facts?
AI does. If you turn discovery facts on, a short "did you know" about the place appears after a step is solved. You choose the depth: off, standard, or rich.
