How to Create a Treasure Hunt

  1. Print and Prepare QR Codes
    Download and print the QR codes from this PDF: QR codes PDF.
    Cut out the QR codes. Set aside QR code 1—this will be the code the treasure hunter scans to start the hunt.

  2. Hide the QR Codes
    Place QR code 2 in a recognizable location (for example, by the television).
    On the next page, enter the QR code number (e.g., 1 for the first step). Take a photo of the location where you placed QR code 2 and upload it.
    Click "Save QR-code and image" to store the step. The image and code are saved locally in your browser.

  3. Add More Steps
    Place QR code 3 in another location (for example, in the fridge). Take a photo and upload it with QR code 2 as the step number.
    Repeat for as many steps as you like.
    Tip: The last image you add should reveal where the treasure is hidden!

How to Do the Treasure Hunt

  1. Open the standalone QR scanner page on the same device you used to create the treasure hunt. (This is important, as the images are saved locally in your browser.)
  2. Scan QR code 1 to start.
  3. Each time a QR code is scanned, the corresponding image will be displayed, guiding the treasure hunter to the next location.

Enjoy your treasure hunt!
