GPS Scavenger Hunts

Fundraising meets adventure

Set checkpoints around your neighborhood. Participants follow clues on their phones, check in with phone location or a secret code, and earn points. Sponsors pledge per checkpoint or give a flat gift.

How it works

1

Set waypoints

Drop a pin on the map for each checkpoint and add a clue, a trivia question, or a bit of local history.

2

Invite participants

Share a link or QR code. Teams or individuals join from their phone browser, with no app.

3

Check in and score

Each stop accepts phone location, a secret code, or either, as the organizer chooses. Accepted stops add points to the leaderboard.

4

Collect donations

Sponsors pledge per completed checkpoint or give a flat gift. Per-checkpoint pledges are invoiced through the pledge flow after the hunt, not charged automatically.

What makes it work

GPS proximity when selected. For a location-based stop, participants must be inside the organizer-set radius to receive credit.
Team or individual play. Families, friends, coworkers, or solo players.
Live leaderboard. Scores update as teams check in, and you can show the board on a screen at the finish.

Who runs scavenger hunts

School

Outdoor learning fundraiser

A middle school PTA maps stops around the neighborhood, like the old depot, the veterans memorial, and the Main Street mural. Students walk in groups, learn local history at each stop, and raise money per checkpoint.

Community

Neighborhood discovery walk

A community group maps meaningful spots in its neighborhood. Participants learn the stories behind them, and sponsors pledge per stop visited.

Church

Faith walk and prayer stations

A church maps prayer stations around the community. Participants walk the route, pause at each station, and check in, and each accepted station counts toward sponsor pledges.
