What is Scavenger Hunt?
No printing, no planning: choose an age group, where you are (home, outdoors, classroom, birthday party or office), a theme and how long you have, and the Scavenger Hunt generator builds a hunt on the spot. Each challenge appears on screen with a countdown — "Find something ROUND!", "Bring back a feather!", "Take a photo of the whole team jumping!" — and the finders race back to tap FOUND IT!
Hundreds of original prompts are filtered so toddlers get simple, safe things to fetch and teens get trickier, funnier tasks. The finish screen shows what you found, what you missed and how long it took, with confetti for a clean sweep.

What the screen does for you
Scavenger Hunt on AllPartyGames.com is the referee, not the whole game: it gives the host Start hunt, FOUND IT! / SKIP, Per-item timer, New hunt, while you bring nothing — the screen gives the list and a phone camera for the photo hunt. Tap the ? button inside the game for these rules at any time, or 📺 for TV mode on a big screen.
