With friends
Scavenger hunts for adults, ready in minutes
Send a group of friends racing across the city, solving clues from one spot to the next. Describe the day, let AI draft the route, and share a single link the whole group can play.
How a city hunt comes together
Describe the day out
Tell HedgeHunt the neighbourhood, how long you want it to run, and the group. AI drafts a route with clues and challenges built around real places nearby.
Tune the difficulty
Swap a clue, add an inside joke as a quiz, move a stop. Make it as easy or as devious as your friends deserve, then preview the whole run before anyone plays.
Share one link
Send the link to the group chat. Everyone opens it in their phone browser and starts at the same time. The leaderboard tracks who is ahead.
Ideas to make it yours
Every hunt is built from the same parts. Here is how groups put them to use for a day out with friends.
Race across the city
Chain clues from one bar, park, or landmark to the next. The GPS wayfinder points players toward each spot so nobody stands still arguing about directions.
Photo missions at every stop
Ask the group to recreate a statue pose, find the oldest sign on the street, or get the whole crew in one frame. Every photo lands in the gallery at the finish.
Settle it on the leaderboard
Players are ranked by time, hints used, and attempts. Split into teams or go solo, then compare boards over drinks afterwards.
Drop in local trivia
Turn on discovery facts and a short "did you know" appears after a step is solved, so the route teaches the group something about the places they pass.
Why it works for a group
- No app to install. Everyone plays in the phone browser they already have.
- Works across a real neighbourhood, a single street, or a whole afternoon downtown.
- AI writes the first draft in minutes, so you can plan a Saturday on a Friday night.
- Free to build and share your first hunts, with no card needed to start.
- Mix clues, quizzes, photo missions, and QR scans to keep the pace moving.
- One shareable link replaces printed clues, group texts, and someone playing host.
Questions people ask
How many friends can play one hunt?
There is no fixed player cap in the builder. Share the link with the group and they each play on their own phone. Split into teams or run it solo, and the leaderboard ranks everyone the same way.
Do we all have to start in the same place?
You choose. Set a meeting point and have everyone begin together, or let people start whenever they open the link. The leaderboard ranks by time taken, hints used, and attempts, so a fair race is easy either way.
Can I make it harder for a competitive group?
Yes. Write trickier clues, add quiz questions only your friends would know, limit hints, and stretch the route across more of the city. You preview the full run before sharing, so you can dial the difficulty in.
What does it cost to run a hunt for friends?
You can build and share hunts on the free plan. If you want unlimited steps on one big hunt, a one-time Hunt Pass unlocks it. See the pricing page for current amounts.
