Scavenger Hunt in Albuquerque: App-Based Photo Challenge

Hunt for points across Albuquerque with a host cheering you on

A scavenger hunt in Albuquerque where you use a smartphone app to find items, photograph them, and earn points while a live remote host provides hints, additional challenges and encouragement. The activity runs two hours and includes the host's support throughout. You compete on national rankings against other players across the country.

The experience

You start with a checklist of challenges and objects to find scattered around Albuquerque. Using the app on your phone, you photograph each item you locate and submit it for points. The live remote host watches your progress, verifies your submissions, and keeps track of your score in real time. They'll supply hints if you get stuck, suggest bonus challenges to rack up more points, and cheer you on as you move through the city.

The two-hour hunt is built around competition. Your goal is to climb the rankings and ideally hit the #1 spot. Because the host is live and interactive, they can adapt the experience to your pace and interests. If you want to focus on a particular neighborhood or type of challenge, they can steer you there. If you're moving fast and want harder tasks, they'll add them. The app keeps your score visible so you can watch it climb with every successful submission.

You'll need a smartphone to run the app and submit photos as you go. The host communicates with you through the app, so there's no need to coordinate a meeting point or follow a guide through the streets. You're free to walk, use public transit, or move however makes sense for the route you choose. The host just needs to see your submissions and hear from you if you need help.
