Looking for a fun and easy way to engage your audience, promote local spots, or add excitement to an event? Meet our newest feature on Proxi: Scavenger Hunts!

Whether you’re planning a creative way to explore your town, a campus orientation, or a creative marketing campaign, Proxi’s Scavenger Hunts make it simple to guide people on a real-world adventure — powered by Proxi’s powerful interactive maps. 

What Is a Proxi Scavenger Hunt?

Proxi’s Scavenger Hunt feature turns your map into an exciting challenge. Instead of seeing all the points at once, participants must solve clues to unlock hidden locations. As they solve each clue, their map begins to fill in — one spot at a time — encouraging exploration and discovery.

You get full control over what clues are given, how they appear, and what gets revealed. Your audience builds their map as they go!

Why Use Proxi for Your Next Scavenger Hunt?

Scavenger hunts aren’t just fun — they’re powerful tools for connection, education, and engagement. And with Proxi, it’s incredibly easy to build one!

• Educate in a fun way – Great for museums, schools, or campuses to create interactive learning experiences.
• Boost local marketing – Drive foot traffic and brand awareness with something more exciting than flyers.

🛠️ How It Works

Here’s how to get started with your own Scavenger Hunt in Proxi:

1. Build Your Clues

Add points to your map and attach riddles, trivia, or prompts that participants must solve. You can include text, photos, or hints!

2. Brand Your Hunt

Customize your map with your logo, colors, and messaging so it feels like you. Set your hunt rules and choose how it flows.

3. Promote and Share

Get your map in front of people! Share the link via email, social media, QR codes, or even posters around town. No apps or downloads needed like our competitors. 

4. Engage and Connect

Watch people join in the fun, then connect with them! Encourage social sharing, offer prizes, and collect user-generated content along the way.

5. Track, Review & Repeat

Use Proxi’s built-in analytics to track how many people start and finish your hunt. Keep the map live as evergreen content — or refresh and run it again!
