FrogQuest Photo Scavenger Hunts
FrogQuest Photo Scavenger Hunts
Multi-city
LIVE JUDGING: FrogQuest is the only photo scavenger hunt where every single photo submission is reviewed and scored by a live human judge — in real time, as your event unfolds. Our judges award bonus points for creativity, deduct for a half-hearted effort, and drop witty commentary that keeps energy high throughout. No algorithm, no auto-scoring. Real people, real reactions, real fun. ANY LOCATION: We build a custom hunt around virtually any location in the United States. Your hotel's neighborhood, a conference venue district, a specific city your team is visiting for a sales kick-off — we design the challenges around the actual streets, landmarks, and culture of wherever you are. Every event is completely unique to your group and your location. HOW IT WORKS: We meet your group in the city of your choice, kick off the event with a quick briefing, then send teams loose to complete creative photo challenges while our live judges score submissions in real time. A live leaderboard keeps the competition fierce, and the event wraps with a hosted awards ceremony and a curated photo slideshow that has everyone roaring with laughter. TURNKEY & PROVEN: We handle all logistics so you can actually participate with your team. We've hosted over 24,000 teams and 125,000+ participants across the United States, with 200+ 5-star reviews. From small departmental outings to large-scale conference off-sites, we create experiences your team will be talking about for months.
