Scavenger Hunt
How does the GPS-based proximity feature work in Scavenger Hunt?
The app uses GPS to guide you near the next item without revealing its exact location, keeping the hunt mysterious. It tells you how close you are, but you still need to visually spot the target yourself.
Can I create my own custom scavenger hunts in the app?
Yes, you can create your own hunts by adding items, photos, or video challenges. While it takes some effort to set up, it's useful for group projects, birthday parties, or themed events.
Why does Scavenger Hunt drain my battery so fast, and how can I fix it?
The app uses GPS and camera features heavily, which can drain your battery quickly—like dropping from 80% to 55% in 20 minutes. To reduce drain, close other apps, lower screen brightness, and consider using battery saver mode while playing.
What should I do if my progress resets mid-hunt in Scavenger Hunt?
If your progress resets, try restarting the app first, as GPS glitches can cause this. If it persists, contact support through the app, but expect a reply in a few days—they are helpful but slow.
How does Scavenger Hunt compare to other scavenger hunt apps like GooseChase?
Scavenger Hunt is free with no subscriptions, unlike GooseChase which often requires payment for premium features. However, GooseChase has more reliable GPS and faster customer support, while Scavenger Hunt is better for casual, short hunts.
