1. Send Clues and Tasks via Text Message
Glowstick allows you to create and send clues, tasks, or challenges to participants directly via text messages. Forget about printing lengthy instructions or relying on participants to download apps. With Glowstick, every clue is delivered straight to their phones in real time, ensuring no one gets left behind. You can even schedule texts to be sent at specific times, keeping the game flowing smoothly without constant oversight.
For example:
Send riddles that teams must solve to find their next location.
Deliver location-based clues, such as “Find the tallest statue in the park and text us its name!”
Announce mid-hunt twists like bonus challenges or rule changes to keep things fresh.
2. Engage Participants with Photos and Videos
One of Glowstick’s standout features is its ability to collect and share photos and videos from participants. Teams can text their submissions directly to the platform, and Glowstick automatically uploads these to a private event feed that everyone can enjoy.
Incorporating photo or video tasks into your scavenger hunt adds a layer of creativity and fun. For example:
“Find something blue, take a creative photo with it, and send it to the gallery.”
“Recreate a famous movie scene at your current location and submit the video for bonus points!”
“Take a team selfie at the next stop with everyone doing their best silly face.”
These photos and videos don’t just serve as proof of task completion—they also create a rich archive of memories that participants can revisit long after the event ends.
3. Display Live Galleries of Each Stop
Imagine the excitement as teams see their photos and videos from each stop displayed on a live gallery during the event. Glowstick allows you to showcase these submissions on screens or projectors in real-time, turning the scavenger hunt into a shared experience.
Live galleries encourage friendly competition and foster a sense of camaraderie among participants. Guests can laugh together over creative submissions, admire each other’s ingenuity, and cheer for their favorite teams. It’s an interactive way to keep everyone engaged and entertained, even during downtime between tasks.
4. Track Participation and Celebrate Successes
Glowstick provides tools to track participation, making it easy to see who’s completing tasks and who might need a little nudge. This feature is especially useful for keeping the game on schedule and ensuring no one feels left out.
At the end of the hunt, Glowstick helps you compile and analyze all submissions, making it simple to tally points and crown the winning team. You can even use the collected photos and videos to create a highlight reel or slideshow for the closing ceremony.
For example:
Celebrate the “Most Creative Photo” or “Best Team Spirit” based on participant submissions.
Highlight key moments from the scavenger hunt, like the funniest videos or the trickiest challenge.
5. Build Anticipation Before the Event
Glowstick isn’t just for the day of the scavenger hunt—it’s also a fantastic tool for building excitement leading up to the event. Use pre-scheduled texts to tease clues, share fun facts, or drop hints about the theme. For instance:
“Are you ready to solve riddles and chase clues? One week to go!”
“Start brushing up on your local landmarks—you’ll need that knowledge!”
“Clue #1 will arrive at 10:00 AM sharp. Don’t be late!”
These messages create a buzz and ensure that participants arrive ready to dive into the adventure.
6. Simplify Planning and Execution
Planning a scavenger hunt can be overwhelming, but Glowstick takes the stress out of logistics. Its intuitive interface allows you to set up your event in minutes, whether you’re managing a group of 10 or 1,000. Plus, with automation features, you can schedule every step of the scavenger hunt in advance, so you can focus on enjoying the event instead of micromanaging it.
For example:
Automate the delivery of time-sensitive clues to keep the game moving smoothly.
Send reminders or encouragement to teams that might fall behind.
Deliver location-specific tasks when participants text you from a designated stop.
7. Create Lasting Memories
One of the best parts of Glowstick is the way it helps you preserve the magic of the event. Every photo and video shared during the scavenger hunt becomes part of a collective memory that participants can revisit. After the event, you can download all submissions and share them with your group, giving everyone a keepsake to remember the day.
Participants will love seeing their contributions included in a final recap video, gallery, or slideshow, which can be shared via text or email after the event.
