Shared Private Hunts

What are Shared Private Hunts?

Shared Private Hunts are available for subscribed “Pro” users, allowing them to share their custom private hunts with others. These hunts can be shared via a link or a QR code, making it easy for friends and family to join the fun without needing a “Pro” subscription.

Steps to Share Your Private Hunt

Create Your Private Hunt:

Open the Backyard Hunt app.

Design your hunt by setting up the clues and tasks as per your preference.

Navigate to Share Option:

Once your hunt is ready, go to the hunt settings.

Select the “Share” option.

Choose Sharing Method:

You can share your hunt via a link or by generating a QR code.

Set Preferences for Shared Link:

Start Date and End Date: Specify the date range during which the link can be used.

Number of Uses: Define how many times the link can be followed before it expires.

Share the Link or QR Code:

Distribute the link or QR code to your friends or family. They don’t need a “Pro” subscription to participate. They can simply download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, and scan the QR code or follow the link to join the hunt.

Using the Shared Hunt

Install the App:

The recipients should install and open the Backyard Hunt app.

Join the Hunt:

Tap the QR code scanner icon in the top left corner or follow the shared link.

Enjoy the hunt!

Managing Your Shared Links

As the owner of the private hunt, you have control over your shared links:

Multiple Links: Create multiple shared links for the same hunt with different preferences.

Preferences: Set specific start and end dates, and limit the number of uses for each link.

Monitor Usage: Track how many times each link has been followed and manage their status. You can deactivate the links if needed.

Shared Private Hunts make it simple and fun to involve your friends and family in your custom hunts, ensuring everyone can join the adventure without additional subscriptions.
