We’re excited to officially launch QR Scavenger Hunt, a brand-new game on Gig Game that transforms real-world spaces into interactive, story-driven experiences - like a virtual escape room brought to life in the real world.

Whether you're running a bar event, hosting a corporate team-builder, or creating a festival activation, QR Scavenger Hunt gives you everything you need to create unforgettable, immersive gameplay - powered by QR codes and mobile devices.


What Is QR Scavenger Hunt?

QR Scavenger Hunt is a live, host-controlled game where players:

  • Scan QR codes placed around a venue or location
  • Unlock clues, challenges, and hidden content
  • Progress through a hunt or story
  • Race to complete all objectives

No apps. No downloads. Just scan and play.


Why It’s Different

This isn’t just a scavenger hunt—it’s a flexible game engine that lets you design your experience exactly how you want.

Free Exploration or Guided Story

  • Let players explore freely
  • Or guide them step-by-step through a structured adventure

AI-Powered Game Creation

  • Instantly generate full scavenger hunts using AI
  • Create riddles, clues, and even complete storylines

Rich Media Experiences

  • Add images to each location
  • Reveal videos when players unlock items
  • Build immersive, cinematic moments

Perfect For

QR Scavenger Hunt is built for:

  • Bars and venues
  • Corporate team-building events
  • Festivals and activations
  • Schools and fundraisers
  • Escape room-style experiences

If you can place a QR code, you can run a game.
