Social Scavenger

Looking for a game in your city?

Your Campus is our Gameboard!

Engage students for campus orientation and discovery!

We are your partner in creating epic game experiences for students, from first-year orientation to international student programs and even post-grad MBA/Masters students looking to connect and your school while on campus. With cutting-edge technology and our expertise, we transform your campus into a dynamic and personalized gameboard, igniting the spirit of adventure, teamwork, and connection.

Your students have smartphones and we have ways to map out your campus. Let them discover the city, bond with other students, and enjoy amazing experiences. We also work with educators creating programs for students of all ages in class. Discovery games can be created with goals ranging as far as your creativity can take you.

The Experience & Execution

The Social Scavenger platform excels at campus orientation for all schools. Easily roll out a game on our platform with our branding, inject your branding into our apps, or create your own apps that completely hide the Social Scavenger brand.

  • Build, Buy or Both

    Together we'll go through everything the game builder enables you to do and then set you free! We can build your game with you, for you, or simply guide you along to make sure you leverage the right features while keeping your game experience focussed.

  • Supporting Services

    The heavy lifting is done in the game build so that players simply click on challenges and see what there is to do, and possibly where and when to do it. They'll never need any technology other than simply downloading the App. During the festival, engage our team to provide additional services such as moderation, judging, messaging, and summarizing game play.

  • The Live Event

    The monitor area lets you see all of the game happening in real-time and even award bonus points, take down content you don't like, share content you love and easily access data for reporting. Content and reports can be accessed after your event to further leverage the content your guests will have created for you.

Frictionless, Simple & Guaranteed Fun

No one does campus games and events like Social Scavenger. Our process is frictionless, simple, and guaranteed fun!

  • Step 1

    Let's Plan Your Adventure

    A call is a great first step to figure out your audience(s) and goals for the program. We can customize existing hit-campus games or build something from scratch. The best part - once we are done you now have a template for next time.

  • Step 2

    Game Day Services (or DIY)

    Our premium game day services include anything from monitoring your submissions for creativity and bonus points to building epic highlight reel videos. Anything we offer as a service is also something your team can do using our tools if you prefer.

  • Step 3

    Time to Play

    Our games will bring out joy and create amazing moments and connection points. Competitive, cooperative, and guaranteed to get you - rave reviews!

    Our games are powered by our award-winning technology that requires only one 'captain' per team. Those can be students or volunteer leaders. The app has GPS, photos, videos, stickers, hints, puzzles, timers, live streams, live leaderboards, live slideshows and chat to create an engaging adventure.

Why Run Your Program with Social Scavenger?

We work with schools to understand your resources and goals for the program. If you have a group of 800 students, we get it - teams of 5 aren't going to work out! If you have 100 volunteers - we also have a lot of 'things' we can include in the game from live stations to captain support. But maybe you need more of a game that can 'self-run' itself as part of tours or small post-grad programs as students come to campus for only 1 week per semester. Nothing is cookie-cutter over here, except for awesome games!
