People Scavenger Hunt Game
Help break the ice and get people to connect and interact with each other.
What is the People Scavenger Hunt Game?
The People Scavenger Hunt Game turns your event into a way for people to interact and connect wirh one another. It turns boring small talk into meaningful conversations.
Here is the thing about normal events: people get stuck. They talk to the one person they came with, or they stare at their phone to look busy. The People Scavenger Hunt Game gets people out of their bubble. It gives everyone a reason to talk with people they never would have said 'hi' to otherwise.
