YAQRSA | QR Code Scavenger Hunts

Use Cases & Communities ​

Our platform is designed to be as flexible as your imagination. The ability to separate Locations from Hunts makes it extremely powerful for a variety of use cases. Below are some of the most popular ways our communities use YAQRSA.

Museums & Education ​

Create child-friendly interactive tours and connect learning with physical space.

Engaging Young Explorers ​

  • Simple Clues: When creating a hunt for kids, override the default location clue with something easier, incorporating rhymes or simple visual descriptions.
  • Hide the Codes: Place QR codes near artifacts, but not directly on them, encouraging children to actively search the area.
  • Learn While Playing: Use the "Victory Message" or specific stop prompts to provide fun facts or educational tidbits about the location they just discovered.

Ongoing Exhibits vs. Temporary Events ​

You can use the exact same QR code in the "Dinosaur Hall" for both your permanent "Dino Explorer" children's hunt and your special "Night at the Museum - Teen Edition" event. Just create two separate hunts and assign different clues and points to the same underlying Location Library entry.

Small Businesses ​

Drive foot traffic, promote deals, and engage customers.

The In-Store Hunt ​

  • Product Discovery: Hide QR codes near new arrivals or clearance items to guide customers to specific areas of your store.
  • Capture Leads: Use the hunt as a contest. Once completed, the final Victory Link can point to an email signup form to enter a raffle.
  • Partner Events: Collaborate with neighboring businesses. A location library can encompass an entire downtown block, allowing you to create cross-promotional scavenger hunts ("The Main Street Holiday Hunt").

Driving Sales ​

  • Rewards: Use the "Victory Link" to provide an exclusive digital coupon code that can only be unlocked by completing the hunt.

Parties & Events ​

Perfect for teambuilding, weddings, and parties.

Teambuilding ​

  • The Competitive Edge: Enable "Points" and challenge teams to maximize their score within a time limit.
  • Analytics: Use the Reports feature to determine which team finished first and review the scan times to ensure fair play.

Weddings & Social Events ​

  • No App Hassle: The best part of YAQRSA for events is that guests do not need to download an app. They simply scan with their native camera and start playing immediately.
  • Customized Experience: Tailor the clues to be personal trivia about the couple or the guest of honor, leading them to significant locations around the venue.

Tips for All Uses ​

  • Test Your Flow: Always scan the codes yourself before your event goes live.
  • Stable Connection: Ensure your locations have decent cell service or Wi-Fi, as players will need internet access to load the next clue.
  • Protect the Codes: If mounting codes permanently outdoors or in high-traffic areas, consider laminating them or using durable acrylic holders.
