Corporate Scavenger Hunt Interactive Networking App
A phone based game that helps co-workers get to know each other.
Most corporate events still rely on the same networking format. People walk in, find the group they already know, and stay there. A raffle or a name tag does not fix that. What actually moves people around a room is a reason to walk up to someone new, and that is exactly what a scavenger hunt style networking app is built to do.
Instead of paper clues or a printed checklist, everyone plays from their own phone. No app store download, no login, just a QR code and a prompt that sends them across the room to find a real person.
What Is It?
A guided way to meet people, running entirely on a phone.
A corporate scavenger hunt networking app replaces the old paper checklist with a digital one. Instead of hunting for objects hidden around an office, people hunt for other people.
A prompt like find someone who started this year sends them off to have a short, real conversation, then they check it off and move to the next one.
The scavenger hunt part is really just the mechanism. The actual goal is getting two coworkers who have never spoken to end up in a conversation, without either of them having to make the first awkward move on their own.
Why Not Just Free Mingling Networking?
Because free mingling almost always turns into people talking to who they already know.
Tell a room of employees to go mingle and watch what happens. People drift toward the coworkers they already sit next to, and the room splits itself right back into the same small groups it started with.
That is not a lack of interest in meeting people, it is just how rooms behave without structure. A scavenger hunt style prompt removes the guesswork. Nobody has to decide who to approach or worry about an awkward opener, the prompt already picked the reason.
Jam Bingo - Interactive Large Group Networking Ice Breaker
Large group icebreaker for 100+ people, where the goal is to encourage staff to mingle with colleagues they don't already know.
The easiest way to incentivize co-workers to get to know each other.
You're looking for an easy, semi-structured way to help colleagues mingle and encourage them to get to know people from different teams, departments, partner organizations, or office locations.
- JamBingo is built for exactly this. Teams use it to turn the networking session of an event into the part everyone actually remembers, whether that is a 50 person onsite or a 500 person annual all-company kick-off.
Jam Bingo works well for all-company events where employees from different departments rarely cross paths, partner showcases where you want organizations to network and get to know one another, sales kickoffs with representatives from different regions, and conferences where attendees arrive as complete strangers. See how Jam Bingo works!
How Do You Set It Up?
Put a QR code up and let people jump in as they arrive.
There is no setup crew needed and nothing to print.
Put the QR code on a screen, on signage near the entrance, or in the event agenda, and people join the moment they scan it.
What Makes A Good Prompt?
One that is specific to your company, not a generic icebreaker line.
A prompt like find someone who likes coffee does not really move anyone out of their comfort zone. A prompt tied to how your company actually works does a lot more of the heavy lifting.
- Find someone from a department you have never worked with.
- Find someone who joined the company in the last six months.
- Find someone who works out of a different office.
- Find someone working on a project outside your own team.
- Find someone who does not know anyone else in the room yet.
FAQ
Do people need to download an app?
No. Everything runs from a browser after scanning a QR code. There is nothing to install and no account to create, which matters a lot when you are trying to get a large group started quickly.
How many people can play at once?
The format scales from a small team offsite of 15 people up to a conference floor of several hundred, since each person moves through their own prompts at their own pace instead of waiting on a facilitator.
How long should we run it for?
Most teams give it 15 to 20 minutes, usually right when doors open or during a scheduled networking break before the main agenda starts.
Can prompts be customized to our company?
Yes. Prompts can be entered in yourself and customizes to fit your group, which is what pushes people toward someone they would not normally talk to.
Does this replace other team building activities?
Not necessarily. It works well as the opening activity that gets people talking before a keynote, workshop, or dinner, rather than replacing the rest of the agenda.
