Safety review

Catch the risky step before your players do

A HedgeHunt is a trail of steps that sends people around real places on their phones. You wrote twelve of them over three evenings, and somewhere in there is a line telling players to climb onto a ledge for the photo. One click before you go live, and AI reads the whole thing back to you, looking for exactly that.

Free on every plan, including the free one. You decide what to do with whatever it finds.

The safety review card in the release dialog: a Worth a look verdict, two flagged steps with their step numbers, two suggested fixes, and safety scores
A real check on a Barcelona hunt. It caught a step telling players to climb onto a stone ledge for a photo, and named the step it came from.

What it checks

You tell it what matters

Six boxes decide what the check pays attention to. Tick the ones that apply to your group and leave the rest alone. You will find them in the builder, under Edit hunt, and players never see them.

The six boxes, under Edit hunt in the builder.

Audience and suitability

Suitable for children

Flags anything you would not want a child to read, or be asked to do.

Family friendly

Keeps the tone right for a group with a wide range of ages in it.

Educational value

Flags anything stated as fact that looks inaccurate or misleading.

Content to avoid

Physical risks

Instructions that could get someone hurt, like climbing up something or crossing traffic.

Restricted or unsafe areas

Steps that send players somewhere they are not supposed to go.

Adult content

Language or themes that do not belong in the hunt you are building.

What comes back

A verdict, the step, the fix, and a score

You run the check from the screen you use to make a hunt playable, which the builder calls releasing. The result appears there, before you commit to anything.

A verdict at a glance

Looks good, Worth a look, or Needs attention. You know where you stand before you read a single line.

The step it came from

A flag about one step carries its number, so you go straight to the wording that caused it. Flags about the whole hunt have no step.

Something to do about it

Not only what reads badly, but what to put there instead.

A score out of 100

One for safety overall, and a second one for how well it suits children, if you asked for that.

When you are the one responsible for the group

Where it stops

It advises. You decide.

Worth being straight about what this is, and what it is not.

It never blocks your hunt

A flag changes nothing except the wording on the button. You can go live anyway, and sometimes that is exactly the right call. Only you know your group and your city.

It reads your words, not your photos

Everything you have written goes in: hunt name, step text, hints, your notes to players, place names and coordinates. Photo, audio and video files are never sent.

It can be wrong in both directions

Sometimes it flags something that is perfectly fine, and it can miss things too. Treat it as a second opinion, not a verdict. What you publish, and what happens on the day, stays yours.

Questions people ask

Can it stop me releasing my hunt?

No. The safety review never blocks anything. If it flags something, the confirm button changes to "Release anyway" and you carry on if you want to. The decision is always yours.

Does it cost anything?

No. The safety review is free on every plan, including the free one. There is a fair use cap of 20 reviews an hour, which normal building never reaches.

Who is allowed to run it?

The person who owns the hunt, and anyone they have added as an admin. Someone invited with view-only access can open the hunt but cannot run the check.

Does it look at my photos and audio?

No. It reads text only. That includes the words you write to describe a photo or a recording, but the photo, audio or video file itself is never sent.

Is this a guarantee that my hunt is safe?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is advice from an AI that can miss things and can flag things that are fine. You are responsible for your hunt and for the people playing it.

Do players see the result?

No. The review, the scores and the settings all stay in the builder. Players never see any of it.

What happens if I edit the hunt afterwards?

The old result stops applying, because it was about the old wording. Run it again before you go live. If nothing has actually changed, you get the same answer straight back, without another AI check.
