How to Create a Scavenger Hunt With Apps

While scavenger hunts have been a part of parties for decades, as technology has advanced, the hunt has gotten a modern day renovation. Through the use of the ScavengerHunt application, users can create their own scavenger hunts which can spread out across entire cities or even entire countries. Players can then search for the locations in your hunt, aided by up to three increasingly-helpful clues, until the GPS in their phone detects that they have located one of the destinations.
