ClueKeeper

We used this app during a DASH event. The app worked well and made the event more enjoyable. It was easy to use and I was impressed with how well it handled the hints. My only complaint is I wish it didn’t spoil skipped puzzles. We had skipped a puzzle, but wanted to revisit it during a later meal break. But you can’t avoid seeing the answer while working on subsequent puzzles. I realize answers are needed for meta puzzles, but it’d be nice if the answer only appeared on the specific puzzle page and not on the puzzle list, maybe even hidden like hints are. Otherwise, great app!

My son wanted a scavenger hunt in the neighborhood for his 17th birthday party so we chose ClueKeeper to help us with the daunting task. I created 10 clues, 6 teams, 18 participants. I used GPS coordinates, and made the game a little more interactive with the task of videoing an activity after each answered clue, then they texted the video to the game master, and then I would text them the access code for the next clue. I had to double check and tweak my GPS coordinates a couple of times during the planning process. Some were off the mark by a few dozen meters, but if you widen the default geo fencing — then you won’t have a problem. Just go back and make sure it has your spot within the radius again. My only flaw was using Chat GPT to develop my clues, I knew better than not to have checked it’s math and facts. All said and done — the game was a huge success, and I’m “Mom of the Year.” Not sure I’ll ever be able to top this party. This was one for the history books.

I purchased the Seattle Art Museum hunt. We couldn’t find the first three clues, so we consulted a museum employee who told us those exhibits haven’t been out for years. I messaged ClueKeeper to get my money back and they didn’t respond. At this point, it’s a scam. Ignore this and look for alternatives.
