Looking for a fresh way to get people exploring, connecting, and having fun? A Proxi-powered scavenger hunt might be just the thing! Whether you're planning an event for your school, city, company, or community group, Proxi makes it easy to create interactive scavenger hunts that are fun to build, simple to follow, and exciting to share.

What Is a Proxi Scavenger Hunt?

Proxi’s scavenger hunt feature turns any map into an adventure. Instead of showing all the points at once, participants must solve clues to unlock each hidden location. As they progress, new points appear—turning the map into a growing journey of discovery.

You get full control over each clue, from how it's written to when and how it appears. Each player builds their map one stop at a time, keeping the hunt engaging from start to finish.
