How to pick a scavenger hunt company

Start with where your people are, then decide who runs it.

  • Spread across homes, offices and time zones: a hosted virtual scavenger hunt. Everyone plays together, and a hosted game can run as two sessions for far-apart time zones.
  • All in one office: our hosts run Feud Night, trivia and Music Bingo at your office in 17 US cities, or the room joins the virtual hunt on one shared screen.
  • Half in the office, half remote: run one virtual hunt for everyone, or an in-person game in the office plus a virtual session for remote staff.

Then check three things with any vendor:

  • Length. Walking hunts often run 90 minutes to 2 hours plus travel. A hosted virtual hunt takes 1 hour on the call.
  • Who runs it. A host keeps the energy up and the score honest. An app leaves that to your team.
  • The weather plan. Outdoor routes need a backup date or an indoor version, and a role for anyone who cannot walk the route.

Running one yourself? Our free guides have virtual scavenger hunt ideas and an office scavenger hunt list. For the head-to-head, read KraftyLab vs Let's Roam; for more vendors, see teambuilding.com alternatives and team building companies.
