Questions that usually decide the choice

Short answers that remove doubt before you choose page, format, or creation path.

How do I build a treasure hunt quickly?

Start with 5-8 stops, short clues, and one clear finale. Share via QR or link, test the full route on one phone, and only then adjust.

Should I choose a QR treasure hunt or GPS treasure hunt?

QR works well for city routes, events, and indoor setups. GPS works best outdoors when the location itself should unlock the next step.

Can I combine printable clues with mobile flow?

Yes. Use printable clues for physical stations or hints, then let the phone handle answers, progression, and the finale.
