Frequently Asked Questions

Is this game small space friendly?
Yes! Use an indoor list and photo proof instead of physical items. This works great for apartments and keeps the game contained.
What if I need a movement-light option?
Switch to table-top photo prompts where guests take pictures of items on their phones. This reduces movement while keeping the fun.
How do I handle safety concerns?
Set clear boundaries, avoid items near stairs or dangerous areas, and include safety notes on your clue list. Consider doing this in a contained area.
Can I make this work for virtual showers?
Absolutely! Create a photo scavenger hunt where guests find items in their own homes and share pictures via chat or video call.
