Social Scavenger

Bring Your Game Data to Life with AI and the Social Scavenger API

@Warren Glenn

Agencies, brands and game builders can now take the live photos, videos, scores and activity from a Social Scavenger game and turn them into their own branded experiences: a photo wall, an awards show, a map of every team’s route, a winners reveal on the big screen. During the event or afterwards.

Social Scavenger is a platform for building scavenger hunts and any kind of challenge-based game. Connect an AI tool like Claude to our API, and the data your games already capture becomes something you design for your own audience.

What we built in the demo

Using data from a real game, we built a branded experience that includes:

  • Photo and video highlights from every team

  • Awards like Most Creative Team and Biggest Comeback

  • A route map showing where each team went, from their GPS check-ins

  • A winners reveal to close out the event

Every piece comes from data the game was already capturing. A post-event report is one way to use it. A live experience your audience sees at the event is another.

How it works

Social Scavenger has an open REST API (documentation here). To work with your games, an AI tool like Claude needs two things: the API documentation and authorized access to your account.

Once that’s set up, you don’t need to write code. Ask in plain English, like “Show me the route each team took” or “Which team made the biggest comeback?”, and the AI pulls the data and builds what you asked for.

It works while the game is running, so results can go up on a screen at the event or into a polished recap afterwards.

More ways to use your game data

The same approach works beyond a single game. Running a campaign across multiple cities? Pull data from every game into one view to compare markets, rank locations and show total participation.

Experiential marketers can use it to help show campaign results. Training providers can dig into how teams worked together. Event agencies and conference planners can give every client a recap built around their brand.

FAQ

Can AI pull data from a scavenger hunt app?

Yes. Social Scavenger has an open REST API. Once an AI tool like Claude has the API documentation and authorized access to your account, it can pull game data and build reports, recaps and visuals from it.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. After the initial setup, you ask for what you want in plain English and the AI handles the API calls.

What data does a Social Scavenger game capture?

Team photos and videos, challenge answers, scores, timestamps, GPS check-ins and leaderboard changes throughout the game.

Can I combine data from multiple events or locations?

Yes. You can pull data from several games into one view, which is useful for multi-city brand activations and campaign reporting.

What’s next

Coming soon: a Social Scavenger MCP, so AI tools can connect to your games even more directly.
