Huntimage turns any real-world location into a self-guided puzzle hunt — pick the spots, hide the clues, and watch your friends, your team, or your whole event find them. Precise enough that players have to actually stand on the spot to solve it.
The Gilded Fork
Finding your angle…
Every hunt follows the same shape — whether it's three flags around your block or fifteen across a city.
Every flag is pinned to a real location. Get close, and your phone starts recognizing exactly where you're standing.
A puzzle piece — a real photo, cut and cryptic — appears once you're on the mark. It's the only clue you get.
Line up your view with the photo. It only matches when you're standing in the right spot.
Clear it and move to the next one. Finish the trail, bank the points, climb the leaderboard.

Real hunts need a real camera and real GPS to find precise, real-world spots — there's no browser version to play in. Download Huntimage to start finding, or building, a hunt near you.
A self-guided, real-world scavenger hunt app — no tour guide, just you and your phone. Every flag is pinned to an actual GPS spot — you walk there, your phone's camera recognizes exactly where you're standing, and a puzzle piece unlocks from a real photo taken at that location.
No — hunts need a real camera and real GPS to recognize precise, real-world spots, so Huntimage only runs as an installed app on iOS and Android.
Every account gets 1 free ticket a month, enough to play a hunt at no cost. Beyond that, tickets and passes of any size are available — see Pricing above.
Yes, for free — place a starting point and flags on the map, then do a live scan at each real spot to capture its puzzle piece. Publishing is instant, no review or waiting: keep it private (shared only via a hunter code or QR code) or make it public, listed in Discover and searchable by its tags. Either way it stays active for 6 months.
No. Camera and location are used only to confirm you've reached the right spot — nothing is recorded or shared beyond what's needed to do that.
Yes. Huntimage uses your phone's augmented reality (AR) features to confirm you've reached each flag, so your phone must be AR compatible. Before you buy a ticket or pass, check our searchable supported devices list to confirm your phone qualifies. Phones not on that list can't run hunts.
You earn points once, on completing a hunt — not per flag, and you can replay the same hunt up to 5 times for points, though each replay scores less than the last. Those points count toward that hunt's State, Country, and World leaderboards, based on where the hunt is located. Hunts you created yourself never earn points, since you already know the answers.
Almost always one of three things: not enough sway during the scan — a slower, wider side-to-side motion gives the camera more real detail to work with. Moving — scanning while walking fast, biking, or riding in a vehicle gets cancelled outright with a reason shown, since a scan taken on the move usually fails anyway (or produces a flag that won't line up correctly for players). A weak connection — hosting a flag needs a moment online once the scan itself finishes. If none of that explains it, just try again.
Flat map distance can't tell floors apart, so Huntimage checks real height too, in either direction — if you're close on the map but on the wrong level, the app tells you directly ("This flag is on a higher floor" or "...lower floor") instead of just looking stuck.
