GPS Scavenger Hunts

Fundraising meets adventure

Create GPS waypoints around your neighborhood. Participants navigate with their phone, take photos at each stop, and earn points. Every checkpoint visited, every photo taken, every mile walked generates donations. It's a fundraiser people actually want to do.

Create a Scavenger Hunt

How it works

1

Set waypoints

Drop GPS pins on a map for each checkpoint. Add a description, trivia question, or challenge at each stop.

2

Invite participants

Share a link or QR code. Teams or individuals join. No app download — just open the page on their phone.

3

Track in real time

GPS tracks their route. Photo check-ins prove they visited each location. Points accumulate on the leaderboard.

4

Collect donations

Sponsors pledge per checkpoint, per mile walked, or flat. Payments collected automatically after the event.

What makes it work

GPS-verified locations. Participants must physically be at the checkpoint to get credit. No sitting at home and clicking through.
Photo proof at every stop. GPS-stamped photos prove they were there. Admin can review the photo gallery for every participant.
Team or individual play. Groups of friends, families, coworkers, or solo explorers. Flexible for any group size.
Educational content at each stop. Add history, trivia, or cultural information. Participants learn while they walk. Community engagement meets fundraising.
Live leaderboard. Real-time scoring. Teams race to hit all checkpoints. Competition drives participation. Display it on a big screen at the finish line.

Who runs scavenger hunts

Corporate

Team-building charity challenge

A company drops 20 waypoints around the historic district. Teams of 4 navigate on foot, answer trivia at each stop, and take team photos. The winning team picks which charity receives the company's $10,000 donation. After, everyone talks about what they learned over pizza. It's team building that actually builds something.

School

Outdoor learning fundraiser

A middle school PTA maps waypoints around the neighborhood — the old train depot, the veterans memorial, the community garden, the mural on Main Street. Students walk in groups, learn local history at each stop, take photos, and raise money per checkpoint visited. Field trip and fundraiser in one.

Community

Neighborhood discovery walk

A community group maps the culturally significant spots in their neighborhood. Participants discover hidden gems, learn stories they never knew, and raise money for a local cause. Sponsors pledge per stop visited. The whole neighborhood gets involved.

Church

Faith walk and prayer stations

A church maps prayer stations throughout the community. Participants walk the route, pause at each station for reflection, take a photo, and earn donations from sponsors per station visited. Combines spiritual practice with community fundraising.
