How it works

Philadelphia is

our Gameboard!

Modern City Scavenger Hunt team games will have you scouring an area of the city while trying to outdo your competition by picking the best route to victory. Create action-based challenges through the narrow, colonial-era streets, or mimic Rocky's iconic climb up the 72 stone steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Each team can choose their own path, so whether you’re a group of 10 or 10,000, you won’t be on top of each other in this epic adventure. For teams and groups that are in different cities, we also offer an experience tailored towards parallel play.

Philly is home to some of the country’s oldest pubs, museums, and theaters but don't let that fool you, it's anything but quaint and Social Scavenger is the best way to generate awareness and engage with the town!

How to Play

We recommend teams of 5 for maximum engagement and competition. While only one person per team will use their smartphone to join your private game, everyone plays a critical role in completing challenges before the clock runs out. Games typically run between 90 minutes - 2 hours and involve both teamwork and creativity in completing photo and video challenges, puzzles and much more.

  • Join your private game on the Social Scavenger app (1 person per team)

  • Review your game day briefing and get ready to play

  • When the clock starts ticking - the game is on, let’s play!

  • Teams choose their own path to try and claim victory

  • Complete fun and creative challenges as you explore the area

FAQs

  • What are the Physical Requirements and How Long are the Games?

    Our city games are played on foot so you can expect a casual walking pace for up to 2 hours with lots of stops to do challenges and explore the area.

    If you want a more ‘fast paced’ game please let us know and we’ll turn up the heat. Alternatively, we also have 60 and 90 minute versions available.

  • Can We Customize the Experience?

    Yes we can!  Personalized challenges about your values, custom locations, learning objectives - you name it.  Talk to a game producer today.

  • Are We All Walking Around Together?

    No. Our games are designed to scatter teams across the playing field and large groups can be assigned a variety of starting points.

  • Are the Start / Stop Locations Provided or Custom?

    Both. We have a game ‘zone’ for you to play in with recommended stop / starts, but can accommodate custom start / stop locations in most cases. We can also customize any of our games to specific locations, but normally that’s not required.

  • Do We Use Your App To Play?

    Yes. One person per team - or more if you wish - will download our proprietary app and join your private game. The app is loaded with fun and special features. However, if you have a strong phobia of downloading apps, many of our games can be played on a mobile web version (meaning no download).

    The app is configured per event but can include: challenges, maps, live streams (showing you other teams in action), live leaderboard, chat room (or trash talking zone), rewards and yes - more!

  • What is the Booking Process?

    Once you are ready to book, you’ll tell us the basics (e.g. which game, location, date, approx. headcount, etc.) and we’ll get you a contract, a deposit invoice and a game producer.

    Your game producer will make sure you have a great event and will handle any customization requests, hosts etc. You are in good hands.

  • What if We Don’t Know How Many People Will Be Playing?

    No problem! We will only invoice you for up to 90% of your headcount ensuring you have some wiggle room - but you don’t need to give us those numbers right away either.

  • What about Rain & Inclement Weather?

    Did we mention you're in good hands? While some of the most epic games have happened when teams battle a few elements, you are able to rebook your game for a future date at no additional cost. We also have ‘indoor’ games in many cities in case there is no future date for you.
