Detailed Review

Scavify represents a specialized mobile platform designed for creating and managing interactive scavenger hunts across organizational contexts. Developed by Asbury Mobile, LLC, the iOS application enables administrators to design customized experiences through multimedia challenges, QR code integration, and real-time participant tracking. The platform positions itself as an enterprise-grade solution for engagement measurement and team-building activities, distinguishing itself through administrative controls and scalability. The application's core functionality revolves around challenge creation tools that support multiple media formats including photo capture, video recording, and text-based responses. Administrative features include password-protected hunts, scheduled start/end times with minute-level precision, and automated leaderboard generation. The platform's backend dashboard provides analytics on participation rates, challenge completion metrics, and user-generated content aggregation, enabling organizations to quantify engagement outcomes. User experience demonstrates thoughtful adaptation to real-world scenarios, particularly through offline functionality that allows photo capture in areas with limited connectivity. The interface employs intuitive task completion flows with clear progress indicators and social features enabling participants to view others' submissions. Real-world deployment patterns show particular strength in conference environments, corporate events, and educational settings where structured exploration enhances traditional activities. User feedback consistently highlights reliability and engagement value, with ME Mancini (2018-10-16) noting annual improvements in corporate hunt management and Bonds2019 (2019-02-08) emphasizing the motivational aspects of leaderboard competition. Outside Engineer (2024-09-18) specifically praised the offline photo capture and delayed upload capability during a historical scavenger hunt, while FakeJake93 (2022-05-12) noted the value of pre-scheduled challenge deployment for large-scale events. The platform demonstrates particular strength in structured organizational environments requiring controlled participation parameters and measurable outcomes. Limitations include platform exclusivity to iOS and dependency on administrative technical capability for optimal experience design. Ideal use cases involve corporate team-building events, university orientation programs, conference engagement activities, and tourism experiences where guided exploration enhances traditional participation models.

Just built a very cool and fun hunt for my company event. It was a super easy and quick process to build my hunt through their website. Then players just searched for my hunt in this app. The branding feature made it look amazing and professional. It was amazing! Very cool Just built a very cool and fun hunt for my company event.

The Minnesota History Hunt used this app. I was impressed that it always recorded my task even if it sometimes had trouble posting to Facebook. There is an option to upload a photo so you can take a selfie in locations without cell service and then upload later. I loved the option to share my tasks with my friends on social media. I liked being able to see others photos within the app and it felt like we were building some community. I wish that the app would automatically add the hashtag key word to all posts (not just check-ins) so I wouldn’t need to type it each time. I also wish that the app would not distort the uploaded photos. I enjoyed seeing the leaderboard! It was motivating and fun. I just wish that it had a search function and that the dot containing the number would grow to accommodate numbers greater than 99. App is robust enough and hunts are fun The Minnesota History Hunt used this app. I was impressed that it always recorded my task even if it sometimes had trouble posting to Facebook.

Our company just used this for a company-wide team building event, and everyone loved it! You normally get grumbling from some folks about "forced fun" or "lame activities" when you try to organize a group event for a variety of ages and attitudes, but to a person, everyone had a good time. I can't recommend this highly enough!! Great company event!! Our company just used this for a company-wide team building event, and everyone loved it!

We did a young adult church group scavenger hunt in teams of 3 to 5 & it was lots of fun! Contact them if you want a quote on a smaller group rate - they are very helpful, though took a day to get back to me (we were definitely not large enough for the $499 event price). It was great being able to download the photos so we could watch it as a slide show & see all the photos when everyone was done. You can see them all within the app as well, but it was great seeing it on the big screen :) I would add a video clue/upload option. The GPS worked well except for one person (I believe maybe her phone security was set to block the app from using it) & one GPS clue didn't work at all but I think maybe I did not make the search radius large enough or perhaps I entered it incorrectly. They just texted a photo taken at the location to me so we added those points at the end on paper. I really like that as the hunt creator you can actually edit clues & point values during the hunt in case it turns out to be very difficult & should be worth more or a clue is unclear. Also being able to delete a photo (as a participant AND as created/administrator) if it isn't what was asked for so they can re-do the clue item is great. It would have been nice to be able to change the start time- my MC/emcee went longer on intro than I expected so the app had gone live before everyone was ready & so some people got a head start. Being able to add points as admin/creator would be cool (we gave bonus points outside of the app on top of clue values for most creative photo of certain clues, for when I had the GPS coordinates wrong, & for best costume- it was halloween time) Recap- 1. add video capability (I really wanted to have the participants do the Macarena in the grocery checkout, & have a stranger serenade them!) 2. Be able to edit start (& end time- which I believe is already 'editable'). 3. Maybe have an admin point addition option? Thanks so much for an epic event, we'll do it again next year :) So much fun!

This was an engaging, motivating, educational and FUN activity! The app was easy to use, participants had a blast completing tasks and competing to get on top 5 of leader board, and most importantly we all had FUN learning a little more about our product and each other!
