PLAYING THE GAME:

Each scavenger hunt “Scaventure” is made up of a list of missions. There are two types of missions:

Photo/Video: Players complete this mission type by submitting a photo or video that meets the mission’s criteria. These must be taken in the moment, so no cheating by using old pictures or internet searches. Once a player submits a photo or video, all other players are notified and can see the submission in a real-time activity feed.

Riddle: Players complete this mission type by answering a question or riddle by trying to guess a secret word, phrase, or number set by the game host.

Organizers can also add new missions to an ongoing game, so the party never has to stop!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):

Q: What is a Scavenger Hunt?

A: Whether you call it a scavenger hunt, a treasure hunt, or a wild goose chase, these games involve players or teams searching for a pre-defined set of clues in a race to complete their list before any other participant.

Q: What is a Scavenger Hunt Host?

A: In Scavos, the host is the person who creates the game and invites other players. Anyone who downloads the app can be a host, but there is only one host per game.

Q: What is a Mission?

A: In Scavos, the missions are the set of clues or directions created by the host. Players submit photos to complete each mission, and all players can see submitted photos in a real-time activity feed.

Q: Is there any cost to play Scavos?

A: No, Scavos Scavenger Hunts are free of charge, so you can turn any event into a wild goose chase and invite all your friends!

Q: Do players have to be in the same city or area to play?

A: No, Scavos Scavenger Hunts can be played remotely with friends in any city. Use them to connect with coworkers in other states or friends across the country!

Ms. Verb ,

Great for Groups!

We used this app on a recent school trip. The students found it easy to use, and they submitted many wonderful pictures and videos. It was super competitive and great fun!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the kind review, Ms. Verb! We are delighted to hear that you and the students enjoyed Scavos. We designed the app with the aim of providing a fun and competitive experience, and we're thrilled to hear that it met your expectations.

Your review means a lot to us. If you have any suggestions or feedback to share, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at hello@scavos.com. We'd love to make your next Scaventure even better!

Happy Hunting!

So much fun!

The app is easy to use and Eric had so much fun! Only feedback to make it better: We couldn’t get any audio playback on videos. It would be great of there was a way to see all items for each mission together. The only way to see everybody else’s stuff is scrolling up and down the feeds. We loved the real time feed feature to see the progress of other teams.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review, Ann. We have some great news! The latest version of Scavos (1.53) includes a new "Gallery" tab where you can easily browse the photos and videos submitted by other players in your game. The Gallery can even organize submissions by mission!

Regarding your issue with audio playback, this can happen if the player that submitted the video doesn't grant Scavos audio permissions. We could not allow submissions like this, but we think it's better to give players the option to submit silent videos if that's what they prefer. Also, audio does not play in the live feed--only when you tap on a video. If you're experiencing issues with audio playback, feel free to reach out to hello@scavos.com and we can investigate more.

Seems awesome but can’t log out of guest?

I created a game, logged out, and logged back in as a guest to do some testing. Once I did that there was no option to log back out. I was stuck there even if I uninstalled and re-installed the app. I wanted to use this for a day with my nephews stuck indoors but now I can’t?

Developer Response ,

Hi Hjcheerio, sorry to hear you had some trouble with the app. Once you've signed into the app as a guest, you can sign in again by joining any game. We will be releasing a new version soon that makes it easier to sign out of guest accounts. Thanks for the feedback!
