Use Cases
Turn any party into a hunt for clues hidden around the house, the backyard, or the neighborhood. Build puzzles around inside jokes and shared memories, then let guests race for the fastest time.
Get teams moving through your office, venue, or conference space instead of sitting through another agenda slide. Live rankings and real-time progress keep the competition honest and the energy up.
Turn a lesson, a review session, or a field trip into something students actually want to finish. Crosswords, word scrambles, and location-based challenges work for a single classroom or an entire grade — and you can clone the event for next semester.
Guide visitors through exhibits, galleries, or an entire downtown with puzzles that reward looking closely. Completion Mode lets everyone move at their own pace, with prize drawings for those who finish.
Send attendees to specific booths, demos, or sponsor activations to find the answers they need. Track completion, capture participant emails, and hand out coupons or prizes the moment someone crosses the finish line.
Guests scan a QR code and start playing — no app, no setup, no awkward icebreakers. Build puzzles around how the couple met, where they've traveled, or what the group has been through together.
Puzzle Types
Add up to six words and either scramble them yourself or let Auto Scramble do it in a click. Great for themed sets — six national parks, six product names, six things about the bride.
Enter your answer and the system builds a randomized grid of matching letter tiles automatically. Participants flip and pair tiles to uncover the phrase, one letter at a time.
The game show format everyone already knows — participants guess letters to reveal a hidden phrase. A live mobile preview shows exactly how your answer will look before you publish.
Ask a question, set the answer, done. It's the most flexible puzzle type on the platform, working equally well for trivia, riddles, QR code hunts, training videos, or product packaging.
Enter up to six words and clues, and the layout, numbering, and Across/Down placement generate themselves. Don't like the arrangement? Regenerate for a different valid layout.
Hide up to a dozen words in a letter grid and let participants hunt them down. The grid generates itself from your word list, and the answer reveal names the row, column, and direction of every word.
Ask a question, give two to six options, and mark the right one. The board highlights the chosen answer as soon as it is tapped, which makes it the fastest type to play and the easiest to write.
Give participants a set of items and have them drag them into the right order — chronological, largest to smallest, or any sequence you decide. Graded on exact order, so near misses do not count.
Spell out a phrase in emoji and let participants decode it. Short, funny, and the one type people photograph and send to each other — well suited to inside jokes and brand names.
A timed run of true-or-false statements, answered in seconds. Best used as a fast opener or a palate cleanser between longer puzzles, when you want the room moving rather than thinking hard.
Name something for participants to find and photograph. They shoot it on their phone, and the upload itself completes the puzzle — nothing to type and nobody to wait on, so the only thing being measured is how fast they got the shot.
Features
The platform handles layouts, scoring, hosting, and delivery. You bring the puzzles and the people.
Every event comes with an Event Code, QR Code, and shareable link. Participants join from any phone or computer without downloading an app or creating an account.
Run a live race where everyone starts together and rankings update in real time. Or let participants finish at their own pace within your event window, with optional prize drawings at the end.
Add up to two hints per puzzle, followed by an Answer Reveal generated from your own answer. In competitive events, each one carries a time penalty you decide.
Clone any event to create an independent copy with its own participants and results. Change the dates, swap the puzzles, and publish — no rebuilding from scratch.
See who registered, who started, who finished, and how long each puzzle took. Track hint usage puzzle by puzzle, then export everything to Excel.
Send coupons, gift cards, and completion certificates automatically when someone finishes. For completion events, the platform can draw winners at random and email them for you.
How It Works
Build the Event
Start from scratch or pick a template built for your kind of event. Add puzzles from eleven types — from crosswords and word scrambles to emoji puzzles and word searches — and drag them into the order you want. Layouts, scrambles, and answer reveals generate automatically, so you only supply the content. Add your logo, colors, and welcome message, then set your start and end times.
Share the Code
Publishing your event generates an Event Code, a QR Code, and a shareable link. Email or text them directly from the platform using an invitation template you can edit. Post them on social media, drop them on your website, or print them for the room. Participants use whichever method fits the moment.
Everyone Plays
There's no app to download and no account to create — scanning the code opens the event in a browser. Puzzles unlock one at a time in the order you set, with optional hints when someone gets stuck. Progress saves automatically, so anyone can switch devices and pick up where they left off. Run it as a live race against the clock or let people finish at their own pace.
Track the Results
Live rankings and progress update in real time while the event is running. Afterward, reports break down who finished, how long they took, and which puzzles gave people trouble. Pick prize winners manually or let the platform draw them at random and email the results. Coupons, rewards, and completion certificates go out the same way.
