Create a treasure hunt

Add a hunt to a campaign, set how people progress and finish, then add the objects they'll find.

2 min read

The hunt holds the rules and the ending. The objects inside it are what people find. Have a banner image ready, and a map if you want one.

Prepare the images

Banner Image

Required

The header image for an activity, Receipt Game or treasure hunt.

  • Required
  • Size1200 × 800 px
  • Aspect ratio3:2
  • FormatsJPEG / WEBP / PNG
Examples

Map Image

Optional

A custom map players read to find hunt objects — it acts as a background layer, with the objects dropped on top.

  • Optional
  • Aspect ratioFree — vertical recommended
  • FormatsJPEG / PNG / SVG / WEBP

Keep it clean and uncluttered so the objects read clearly. Any aspect ratio works, but a vertical (portrait) map fills phone screens best.

Examples

For the objects' 3D models and backdrops, see Asset management for hunts.
