Hide & Sleuth

Hide & Sleuth is a live scavenger hunt for any group in one busy place: a mall, a campus, a festival. Suspects put on a disguise and hide in plain sight. Teams of sleuths roam looking for them. A find is proved with a selfie together and the suspect's secret pass phrase. Scores update live, and when time is up everyone gathers for the reveal of the selfies.

FOR SLEUTHS • Join with the hunt code and your first name. No account. • The wanted board: every suspect's photo and reward. • Unmask a suspect: snap the selfie, enter the pass phrase, claim the points. • Your team's case file, live standings, and the hunt's boundary map. • Notifications for finds, bulletins and the reveal.

FOR SUSPECTS • Join with the suspect code and add your photo and pass phrase from your own phone. • See your pass phrase, the countdown and the boundary map while you hide.

FOR ORGANIZERS • Sign in with an emailed code. No password. • Build the hunt: suspects, teams, duration, a boundary drawn on the map, notes. • Run it from your phone: a live feed of finds with where each one happened, standings, bulletins, score adjustments. • End the hunt and reveal the selfies to every phone.

Hide & Sleuth also runs in the browser at hideandsleuth.app, with projector boards for the lobby, wanted poster, leaderboard and gallery, printable join slips with QR codes, and the organizer's full HQ.
